    New Guy here, and an Atlanta dealership rant (long)

    I drove up from Savannah to buy mine from Jim Ellis in Marietta. My sales guy (Dennis Fabec) was great to work with. I got it for about $150 under MSRP. Key Mazda in SC, my closest dealer, wanted $2K over sticker. I'd definitely recommend Dennis @ Jim Ellis to anyone in the Atlanta area...

    Enkei GTC01's

    Thought you guys might want to see how these look on a MS3. They're 18x7.5 on the factory tires.

    Upgrading from a P5 to a MS3 - Has anyone done it out there?

    I sold my 03 P5 & bought my MS3 in November. I don't regret it at all. I guess the only things I miss are the slightly better gas mileage (& 87 octane), and the sunroof (not that big a deal really). I loved the P5, but the MS3 is definitely worth the switch. JP

    Have you had the Check Engine light come on in your MS3

    I thought I was one of the lucky ones w/o a CEL, but got one this weekend at 4513. It was the standard P2006/intake runner stuck closed issue. Dealer said all they have sold (about 5 or 6 he said) have come back with the same problem. I was in & out in about an hour. No problems since.

    Speed 3 - Si

    Sti: $33,495 Evo IX: $31,399 Civic Si: $21,090 Speed3: $22,240 (Starting MSRP's from Edmunds.com) Might the near $10K difference in price be the reason we don't compare our cars to the ones you suggested? The best comparisons are the ones mentioned earlier (GTI & SRT-4). BTW, some of us...

    Official MazdaSpeed3 Roll Call

    Picked up a silver GT w/Auto-dim compass mirror & wheel locks back in November. Got it for $175 off MSRP. I'm finally getting around to posting. Had an 03 P5 which I sold to another guy on the boards (Watarski). Loved the P5 but love the power of the Speed3 more. JP

    Once a lurker, now an owner

    Glad you're enjoying "My" car. I wouldn't change the plugs- I put in NGK Iridium plugs within the last couple of months (check the receipts). New wires may be a slight improvement. If you check the manual, I don't think the timing belt is due til 90-100K. Jeremy

    Lovin my new MS3

    I test drove 1 at Key Mazda but they want $2K over sticker. I was supposed to be on the list to be called when 1 came in at Fairway, but obviously they forgot to call. I may check with them on the black one. Thanks for the info!

    Lovin my new MS3

    I'm in the Savannah area too & I'm looking to pick one up in the next few weeks. I was wondering how much you paid over sticker (if any) & what dealer you purchased from. Thanks!

    OK...Who else thinks religion is total Bullsh!t?

    "For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved, it is the power of God." "But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty."
