I always walk into the finance office with a blank check (from another finance source) in my back pocket. A lot of people negotiate a decent deal for a new car and then blow it in the finance office, so it's good to see that you seem to be aware of what the dealer may be trying to do here...

When I paint the calipers on mine, I also plan to put the Mazda logo on there... but I think there's an easier way than trying to use a stamp. I've never used these, but there are lots of places that sell caliper decals. The link below is just the first place I found that sells them, and...

Check your hood prop. Mine seems to have a lot of wiggle room in its stored position and I've often thought that I can hear it vibrating. I wouldn't characterize my shutdown as rough, but it certainly isn't the smoothest of all the cars I've owned either. It's similar to that of an S2000 I...

I've put over 2000 miles on the MS3 in less than a month. My commute is 60/40 highway/city and my average mileage is between 24 and 25, but have averaged as much as 26.8 mpg. I just finished 100% highway trip to Dallas and averaged 27.5. These are actual mileage figures, not what the DIS...

My first 3 tankfuls registered 26.5mpg on the unlocked DIS (the computer is off by 2mpg by my calculations). Now that fuel is $3.25 or higher here in Oklahoma I'm driving even slower and the DIS says I'm getting 28.5 on the current tank. Most of my driving is highway and I consider my driving...

Rates in Oklahoma may be cheaper than elsewhere, but here's what we pay: 37, Married, no accidents, excellent credit score (i think it's ridiculous that credit scores make a difference) 50/100, 500 deductible My wife's '04 RX330 is $54/Month and the '07 Speed3 is $55/Month through Progressive...

The S2000 is notorious for having no torque (my '02 had about 160 lb/ft), but it's a handful about 6500rpm's. The handling is virtually perfect, but you have to know how to work the car to make it fast. I don't have to tell you about torque and effortless power in the Speed3. A funny thing...

Thank you for the replies. I found the trip computer unlock code in this forum before I took delivery of the car and I used it as soon as I pulled into my driveway. Very cool. I also plan to buy the CAI before the exhaust. I was just curious how loud the upgrade is since the stock...

I just picked up a sunlight silver MS3 Sport last week and haven't stopped smiling since. I swapped an S2000 on this thing and was initially concerned about whether this would satisfy my performance expectations (I bought the MS3 sight unseen). Surprisingly, I think this crazy hatchback is...
