Very nice! Looks gorgeous and you're going to love it (nana)

Your S4 was that terrible on gas?
The MS3 isn't exactly a hybrid you know 18/26mpg.
Not trying to discourage you, just a little surprised

Yea the V8 was horrible. And it burned trough oil like crazy. I loved driving the car but i had to get rid of it. I used to live in jersey and the car made more sense up north but now living in Florida i just didnt need it. Gas was one issue but my payment was another. I have a house now and alot more bills. But im sure im goin to love the MS3. Plus it was Either the S4 or my 93 RX7.

With the speed3 being something like 700lbs lighter and with the same engine I would imagine the gas mileage could be even better than that.

how would you say the speed3 performs in comparison to the s4?

 

[FLMS3]

The S4 had great top end but honestly it wasnt that fast off the line. My cousin has a s13 with a stock sr20det motor swap in it (no upgrades) and he stayed with me and once he uped the bost he was passing me.
