But just like some people say the last generation Miata is better than the new one (or MX-5) 'cuz some of the "soul" was lost with the added weight.

Good explanation.

The "soul" is probably what is keeping me from selling her for a new car.

Plus every time I pull up and see her I am taken back by her beauty, and poise.

From my point of view.
I loved the 1st gen pros.
my bro got me int o the mazdas more when he went form a zx2 to a mp3. then he went msp for awhile.. I drove a mambers msp out here and i loved it.
Well i was looking at used msp 03.5 and was hoping when the ms3 came out ( i liked the car didnt think i could get it) but the msp were still 12500 - 18000 in price with 40-80,000 miles. I figured they woudl go down more when the ms3 came out (people trading in and what not).
well i called around for fun and was noting all the dealers around me had absolutly no mark up. went to a dealer had an ms3 and a used msp on the lot. for the price extra intrest lack of warranty help for me ot make a decision to by an ms3. wasnt much more longer time on warranty. I knwo how the car is driven broke in and what not. and it felt good to have a new car first year of the special model.
I knwo fo rme i love my MS3 im a hatchback wagon kinda guy in newr cars (my old school route though is a notchback vw is my dream).
I came from an escort gt. love that car. But i kwo for me it was the fact for a little more money, a motor they spent more time on. and i loved the feeling and a warranty .

PLus the wife sayting yes we cna get a new car!!!!

But the msp were still agreat car. one of the few newer better looking sedans. (i have no bad words on it)

but either way i have a great car i love (thats inportant you love what you drive everyone is diffrent ro life boring). and well enjoy all the maza communitys im in. (i dont hang or knwo any bad ms3 owners or msp owners)

Naw, not pissed...the market is asking for cars just like the MS3, the GTI, even the *gasp* STi, and they're bigger and faster than the cars before them. The MS3 in my opinion is fast as hell, can't take that away from it. Stock form vs. stock it will leave a MSP with no problems. It seems as though it's easier to live with on an everyday basis also, so I won't take anything away from it. But just like some people say the last generation Miata is better than the new one (or MX-5) 'cuz some of the "soul" was lost with the added weight. I say just buy what u like and be happy with it. And if your not, trade it in; not like your married to the car. But the one thing I WILL say is, if I saw a MS3 with a sticker price of $22k-$23k, I know ALOT of people over here that will buy it quick! And it would be nice if they put that motor (that in my opinion, is a great motor) in the sedan it would make it even more appealing than it is now.

Well done. See the thing is, is that I wanted to see an aggressive sedan come out this year, and nothing did. The only real option in the WRX, but Im not really impressed with it. It would have been awesome if the MS3 came out in a sedan. I would be all over it. Although if you look at the hatch MS3 the way Mazda designed the car, its still got an aggressive look. Like I have been saying ever since I started posting in this thread I like the way the MSP looks, but I want to get something new and the MS3 is out, and I like it. To each there own

Nuthin' wrong with that...for me, I want something that I would feel comfortable working on, and the msp is a good platform to work on in my opinion...there's nothing that can break on my car (which is a regular Pro, not the msp...i'll build my own) that someone else on this forum can't tell me how to fix or at least point me in the right direction. I don't want a car note, so I'll just keep rebuilding my ride and pocket some money for upgrades. In a couple of years it will be the ms3 vs. ms3.5 matrix edition or something like that (lol)! But like u said, to each there own.
