I am the original owner of an '09 Black MS3. After waxing the car I noticed that the there is a spot about 6" in diameter behind the passenger side window where the paint is not the same color. I can only see it under certain light but it is appears to be much greyer than the black paint. Their...

I've only had my car for 3 weeks, I wash it every weekend and waxed it a week after I first got it. Is it pointless using a clay bar on a new car? Also how often should I wax the car, I don't want to overdue it and wreck the paint!

How often are you guys rotating your tires?

Have you looked at an Si? Personally I don't think driving a stick should be difference maker. You can learn stick easily, its the power of the car that is the concern. Worst comes to worse you have a buddy drive the car home from the dealership and you practice in a parking lot.

Not that it's really any of my business, but why do your parents want you to get a new car? You've said that your parents are not "rich" so it would be a much better investment on their part to put you behind the wheel of something used until you get more experience. Get a used car and drive it...

OP, have you looked at a Civic Si? They are fun little cars too. My first car was an Integra GSR, which looking back on was a perfect car for me. It was sporty and quick, but it didn't have gobs of power like an MS3, that can get a new driver into easy trouble. I feel like an Si falls into that...

Have you thought about getting a used car for your first car? The MS3 is a lot of car for a new driver. Even if you are a responsible driver, there is no substitute for experience. Personally I would get a beater to learn how to drive a stick on and just get driving experience, than get MS3...

Nice, just bought mine a week ago, you will love the car! Like someone already said patience is key, now is a great time to buy a car.

haha easy on the Saab jokes. Yea I had an old 900, and after I sold it and bought a Japanese car (Integra GSR) I swore I never would but a Saab again just because they are always breaking. However, after I drove the Viggen, I don't know how I could ever go back to an unboosted car. I think I...

The reason I bailed on the Viggen was because it had 135k on it and I just wanted something new. I loved the car but it was a little difficult for a daily driver in New England because of how low it was. No matter how careful you were the front is always getting scraped. Also the price of...

After about 2 years of debating I finally sold my '99 9-3 Viggen and picked up a BM '09 GT this afternoon, and couldn't be happier! It was tough saying goodbye to the Viggen, but I found a good replacement. Just wanted to say hello to everyone, I'm a long time lurker, but hopefully will now be...

So is every plug and play? Any wire splicing?

Alright I have read through this whole thread and still have some questions. I am picking up an '09 MS3 GT. The dealer said that it would cost them $642to install Sirius, and 434 for the IPOD module, which I think is a bit steep. Can I install both or is it either one or the other? I want to...

Nice pick up! If you don't mind me asking how much did you pay? I sold my car last week and am planning on picking up an '09 MS3 GT sometime in the next week. I have narrowed the choices down to 4 dealerships and Tulley is one of them. I am paying cash if that matters (I know you said you got a...

hey guys I just wanted to introduce myself, I am a long time lurker, and first time poster. I am planning on picking up a 2008.5 ms3 sometime in early spring when they become more available. I currently drive a '99 Saab 9-3 Viggen. I was looking at local dealers to see inventories and I came...
