    Redline MT-90

    I had mine changed to MT-90 since last Fri. Like everyone said, it feels smoother and easier to change gears. However, I still find it hard to change from 1st to 2nd first thing in the morning. Overall, I am very pleased with the results.

    Anyone getting shocked by their MS3?

    It's PITA to live in a dry weather place and get static shocks all the time. I have a Speed3 GT, the half leather seats helped. When I saw the new seats on the 2008.5 models, I cringed.

    MS3 Sedan

    Thanks for the insight! I have seen pictures of those ugly ass cars. I think ugly is an under statement.

    ASA AR1s + BFG g-Force Sports

    Nice wheels and tires! I brought a set of 17" ASA EM9 and Bridgestone Blizzak WS60. I must say it looks better than my stock tires and wheels. If I am going to replace my stock wheels, I will probably go for the black AR1.

    MS3 Sedan

    I spent many years in Europe and still don't understand why the Americans hate hatch back so much. Its much more practical than sedans. I can do my Home Depot run in my Speed3 and haul a lot of big boxes. It has more head in the back than the sedan version. The decision for Subaru to...

    MS3 and snow/ice questions

    Last night, there was a light snow shower in Utah. One my way home, there was an icy section closed by the police on the highway. I drove slowly (40mph) through the one lane traffic and felt my four wheels started to drift. It was rather scary. As soon as I got home, I bite the bullet and...

    TPMS - The price of convenience

    Thanks to the TPMS, I know I have a slow leak on one of my tires. I know you have to be careful to take it to the tire shop to do anything on your tires. Hopefully, they will get it when they see enough of them due the new law.

    Hi just some questions for MS3 owners

    I haven't tested the GTI yet but I test drove the Audi A3 2.0T after I test drove the MS3. It was an anti-climax to me. The Mazda engine has a lot more punch and very little turbo lag compared to the A3. The steering on the Mazda is razor sharp compared to the A3. The interior with the A3...

    Aussies get 281hp/313lb-ft Mazda 3 MPS Extreme

    Looking at those photos, it can't be a 2" exhaust.

    How long do you expect your MS3 tires to last?

    My Speed3 came with "tires for life" which was a surprise to me considered I do about 15K miles per year. I asked the dealer whether they would refit my car with the OEM tires and they said they would. They wrote down the serial no. on the contract and there is no clause to limit my mileage...

    Calling all MS3 GT Owners (I'm curious of how some of the features work.)

    Thanks for pointing that out! I am having an oil change tomorrow. I will ask the service manager about that.

    How long do you expect your MS3 tires to last?

    What about tire noise? I heard they become unbearable once they passed 15K miles mark. Also, anyone has experience with those OEM tires in winter/snow condition?

    Calling all MS3 GT Owners (I'm curious of how some of the features work.)

    I got the GT because of the HIDs and LED brake lights. Having driven with HIDs for awhile, I won't go back to halogen. I also prefer LED brake lights because they come on faster and stronger. I like to wake people up when there is a wall of traffic on the highway. The rain-sensing wipers are...
