2008.5 Mazdaspeed 3
Well...after having owned many Mustangs and finally a GTO, I decided it was time to make a change in my garage. A few years back I owned an '02 Protege5 and really liked that car...unfortunately my wife did not and she had to drive it daily. It was traded but I missed the hell out of that little guy...I always though it would be awesome to have turbo on that thing.

Out comes the MS3 and I've watched that car since it was introduced. I had an '04 GTO that was well past stock but the car was a pile of junk. After 3 years and only 13K miles I got sick of the constant problems, the lack of daily drivability and after just having my first child, the lack of rear seat access to put a car seat in.

It was traded last Thursday on a new '08 MS3 Grand Touring in pearl white....only 100 miles on the dial but I already love the little thing.

Anyway, that's my introduction, I hope to make a home here.

Love the white paint...

I had a choice between the white, black and the silver...the white looked best IMHO...
 
Welcome! Excellent choice on the CWP. That was my first choice, but I had to settle for give-me-a-ticket red.
 
Welcome to the forums, and MS3 ownership. Just curious to know... did you consider any other vehicles before buying the MS3? And if so, what drove your eventual decision?
