- MP3 gone/now 2004 Civic
Other than taking it in all the the time for the clunk, I do miss my car. My Honda has nothing on the MP3. Except for not taking it in to the dealer every month, the Honda leaves a lot to be desired. My buddy here at work still has his MP3 and I'll just stare at it every time I walk by it. It is a very good looking car, even for being 3 years old. I'm just hoping Mazda will learn from the MP3 and MazdaSpeed bushing problems and come out with a relatively trouble free MazdaSpeed 6. Then my Honda will turn into my winter car. I would love to have the MS Miata, but I'm catching up with bills since I don't have a car payment. I should be in good shape by the time the MS6 comes out, if it comes out.
Still love my car more than ever. Just got a new windshield and had a nice car wash and man! My zoom zoom had not been so pretty for a very long time (windshield had 2 big cracks for more than a year).
Seriously, I can't really think of many cars that I'll trade my car for, especially when we are not comparing hard facts on power and value, but just pure love of a car. I'm always a sucker for 4 door sports sedan with big fogs. So as cool as fast cars like the Z, RX-7, RX-8, Supra, NSX....etc., I never see myself wanting to own one of those. The Evo V (VIII looks pretty ugly in comparison, but the upcoming MR is just too sick in performance!) is always my all time favorite, while the new STi is not half bad. But not only are they way out of my price range, their gas appetite & expensive insurance would make them a chore to maintain. But the MP3 just have the looks and practicality that suits me best. A little slow, but right on the money on everything else. My clunk seem to be much less severe than many of you guys had experienced too. Only heard once in a long while. I guess I can be pretty picky about visual details as well, as I think none of the MSP had the right mix that can come close to my yellow beauty in the aesthetics department, even though they are very similar. The NA set up may even give me less maintainance problems down the road with the sacrifice of 30+ whp. I can always drive my brother's yellow MSP if I really feel like it
Its been more than one & a half years since I bought this yellow guy, but I still can't help myself from thinking "SIIIIIIICK!!" everytime I take a look at my yellow MP3, with a big grin on my face. I think I am one of the very few people who just keep staring at my car while walking away from it after I parked. Pretty much every time. I love this car!
