hola. it seems like u guys have had lots of problems with ur MS3s. CELs, cabin noise, gas problems and couple more i heard. my ? is should i buy one now so i can get one or wait till they work out these problems and get an 08?
 
all of these problems are minor, not sure what you mean by gas problems. The only problem I have had is a squeaky door, and the dealer fixed it by lubing the hinge. If that is too much to deal with then wait for 08. I am sure the CEL issue will be addressed by then, but gas mileage isn't going to change.
 
go get you one, mine is at the dealer right now getting the cel looked at but it is worth it. the only other car to make me smile this much is my jeep tj but that couldnt be more different.
 
I wouldn't calssify cabin noise as a "problem." It just is what it is. Personally I find it annoying as hell, but that can be fixed with some dynamat.

Agreed. It's an economy car, you can't go into it expecting Lexus LS460 sound levels in the cabin.

Agreed, its an engineering decision. Either have a loud cabin and a lower weight or add on the sound deadening and fatten up the car. Sound deading can easily add a few hundred pounds.
