this car is ******* faaasst!! I think the salesman s*** himself when i pulled outa the lot (shocked) ! haha it was the silver one and i was thinking about buying the speed3 or rx8. i dunno yet.....probally rx8 in electric blue. the only downside to the ms3 is they had it listed for 27,045, im not sure what model it was but it didnt have nav. they said he can knock a little off for me but im thinking.......im not paying that for a 3. the car was really ******* quick tho!
i test drove the only ms3 in jersey!

Welcome to dealer markup on the Speed3s. I read somewhere that peeps in Cali were paying up to $8K over MSRP. I got mine for 23,700 with GT package. I think the car tops out at just above $27K with every option available.

i dont even think i'd pay 27k for a ms6
you guys have nothing to complain about with regards to price even marked up thousands of dollars they're still cheaper than in canada. I paid $37,000 cdn when all was said and done for my 07 MS3!! Which with todays exchange rate works out to almost $33,000 usd. Now thats a lot coin!

I test drove one in MA
Went by my dealer to get some snow tires for my wife's 5 and they had a MS3 sport. The one thing that stuck out, other than an incredible amount of effortless power, was it's composure. This is one tight and responsive chassis. It maybe slightly heavy but you can feel how solid the chassis is. I felt zero flex as I took corners at less than sane speeds
I also don't agree with some of you who say the 6 speed is "vague". I found it shifted smoothly. The exhaust note was also wonderful: just the irght amount of rumble and growl. I may get a Black GT if the person who put a deposit on it backs out.

16 lbs of boost on a tiny turbo that is maxed out. I read somewhere that if you want to up the boost you will have to up the turbo to a bigger one. I wonder how much boost that mzr engine will hold up to. Who is going to be the first to attempt and blow the engine?mikeski said:
(five-0) there are plenty in New Jersey. You definitely did not test drive the "one"
I got mine from NJ. So did 2 other people in the mazda3 forums that i talk to. 3 more left on the very same lot after i drove off(wayne mazda). And that's just one dealership.
