My Bad My Bad Guess my panties were in a bunch yesterday. And Yes I will be changing the front end.

I dont know what to ******* say. First people hate the grill, now the damn color. It looks good, I agree I would have like my MS3 to be darker blue, but I like ******* blue. I had a red car and got tickets, so I went with blue. For once can people stop raining on... SHITTING on peoples parade. I...

I have either worked it in after 2000 miles or I have gotten used to it.

F'ing A Nathan!!! That was news to me. I am glad this came to light, sorry you had to go through the ringer to find it, but thanks. Didn't they change the position of the motor in the 2nd gen to center it in the engine bay vs 1st gen is offset somewhat. So that would make that plastic...

Fred I am not saying we have racing clutches in these things. I was making an observation and a lame one to boot. What I heard is this is a new design. I wish that guy who spoke on this blog once to chime in again and give an explanation. How far do you rev up before letting the clutch out?

Took it to the mountains today, 266 miles traveled round trip, I got 32.6 mpg avg on the computer, avg speed 44mph, so I was doing pretty well.

God I cant wait to paint mine, That red caliper on Blue paint is going to pop. Those look good dude, finish painting that unfinished part or you'll be sorry.

Be careful of tickets, Popo loves them red ones, hell they like my blue MS3 too. Be good.

Dude, you need to be nice to your service manager, that dude is your friend in life. Now one thing I told you was go to another dealer if that one displeases you, s*** what is a couple more miles if its going to save you some dough. Leave your options open. Drive a ******* KIA if you want, but...

Fred I have been changing my take off style. I have about got it down. You should try it as well. Give it more revs before letting it out. I have never drove on a race clutch, but this one feels stiff and responsive as I would think a race one would be, its like it begs to be dropped in instead...

All I have to say is WOW. High school kids getting brand new cars, with 200+ HP. Bad mix. Douche should have learned on a ******* beater. Its like my neighbor has a Cobra that just sets in the drive with the hood up. Threw a rod cause he thought oh it can take it. A little moderation goes along...

Nate have you noticed your MS3 using a little oil on the first few 1000 miles. Damn I am paranoid but need to know. I figure the rings are still seating in mine. I am not sched to change oil til 3k.

alright now how about frequency of oil changes. I was going for 5k but I am thinking going sooner.

Aight everyone, lets talk about breaking in the Mazdas. My Speed3 said to not drive hard until after 600 miles. I waited until 900-1000 miles before I started getting aggressive, but hell I haven't hit red line yet. What does everyone think. I am taking it to the mountains on Sunday and want to...

Jeremy Clarkson put it best one time on Top Gear. Stating would you start looking at your wife and start loping bits off of her you dont like. I decided between the Speed3 and a 370Z. I chose the Speed3. Reasons it was a great looking car fast and cheap. It had kind of a big snoz on it but it...

I hope mmm1988 gets it all fixed though. I have been through that with my GTI. It burned oil and I could not get them to do anything done about it. It was not my fault. They claimed it was normal for the GTI to use some oil. but a quart every 2500 miles was unacceptable to me. I wish the dude...

Yeah its got to be me. I got so used to the DSG Xmission I would shift at low revs and its okay. Just going back to a manual is rough. I will give it to my 1st oil change and then if I am still having problems then I will have them adjust it. But one thing GOD I LOVE THIS CAR.

2010 Mazdaspeed 3 1500 miles. Getting on average 28-29mpg. Worst was 27 mpg. I am taking it to the mountains and then well see the low numbers. Then its time for a break. I believe I have enough miles on it for now.

Yeah I think he will get all fixed, but I can't see why they would throw him the shaft like that. It sounds like the clutch thing will be a Technical Service Bulletin soon.

If 1st gen guys say its easier to shift, then hell must be me. I went from Manual to VW GTI w/DSG and got comfortable using paddle shifters. I knew I would have some getting used to it, but 1400 miles later and I haven't noticed it yet. SLoW LrnER I guess. Let me ask this question then. I have...
