Something on your door?
In the new car picture, there is something on the driver side door. What is it, some kind of letters or numbers in chrome color. What does it says.

how much did you get for your trade in?
it really sucks that we only have the red here in canada... i'd love to see the blue in person. from the pics, i really like it. too bad i didn't have an opportunity to take an MS3 for a 'test drive' before resigning from the dealership, that would have been so much fun

Yes break-in period is 600 miles... no high reving, keep speed and engine load varied throughout, no hard braking
Note that per owners manual it recommends a 30 second cool down on the turbo after spirited driving.... what the hell spirited means is left to interpretation... I try to keep the rpms below 3500 for the last mile to a stop
Welcome and have fun with your new ride... I assume you badged the 2.3 yourself? If ya see a silver one giving you a "vette" wave in SoCal its me(glare)

Galpin has em for MSRP... probably less if you play real hard to get.... not a long drive from W. LA... I can refer you to the guy that sold me mine but you may have to drive an hr north... PM me if yer interested (no I dont work for dealer or get anything out of the referal... )
No the 2.3 was there when I bought it... LOL maybe the dealership didn't even know it was a MS3 before they popped in the SIRIUS and stuck 2.3 on the side.
I bought mine at Puente Hills Mazda. They had a 3K dealer mark up that they quickly dropped after figuring out I knew exactly what I wanted OTD.
Tavarua, the selling price we reached was 26,300 after TTL. I ended up financing about 20K after trade in and a small 2K down payment.
