I purchased an 09 MS3 GT metro gray today,,,,,,,,,, absolutely awesome car. the exhaust note is incredible for a stock car.......... 2nd gear is ridiculous............. love iT!!

here are all the random facts

- OTD price of 21,850. I didn't even have to bargain too hard for this, they must really want to sell their 09 inventory is all I'm guessing,,,,,,,,

- regarding the 2010 MS3, they knew absolutely nothing. kind of funny since the cust svc person originally told me that the salesman would get me all the pricing and specs on the `10 ms3,,, heh.

- I bought the road/tire hazard package for $300. supposedly covers the tires for 5 yrs. I probably should not have purchased this as it seems pointless because it doesn't cover the wheels/rims,, but the finance guy was acting douche-like and wouldn't stop til I purchased something.

- I did not purchase the extended warranty,, quoted at $1,500. I have 30 days to think about it though. what do u think????...... I was hoping that closer to the end of the original 3 yr warranty, then I can go shopping for an extension.......... I would rather not pay the $ now.

- received very close to KBB Excellent price on the trade-in, again with little haggling. did give the trade-in a nice car wash this morning though hehe.

- the cigarette lighter standard in the car. what?.? LOL. I think it's lame, but if I smoked, I would probably mark that as the greatest thing ever (haven't seen one in a car since 1990's).

- I am really glad I bought the 09,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I will post pics eventually.!>!

Congrats. I also skip the extended warranty. I though it wasn't necessary. Wait until you upgrade your bov, 2nd gear can get stupid crazy. Have fun.

are you serious? i've only owned cars that have had them. don't smoke anymore but you still use the outlet for a cell phone charger or 110V converter for a laptop or something.

and my 2nd gen miata had one
 
An aftermarket bov will hold boost better. Like the turbo smart dual port bov. After install I notice my car pulls better. I suprise you guys din't get that.

I know! I haven't seen a cigarette lighter in a car since my parents had their 89 Taurus! It is kinda lame, I would rather have a 12V cover instead but oh well. They could've transformed the ash tray below the lighter into something more useful...along with a bit of wasted space above it and below the lighter. Oh well.
It's the only Mazda that has a cigarette lighter!
Really? That's lame...

That may be the most insanely idiotic thing I have ever heard. I award you 0 zero points and may god have mercy on your soul.(lol)
 
The stock BPV is crap and when I put the Forge on my car it was like holly s***, the car pulled harder and held boost better between shifts. The stock BPV's are prone to leaking. There are literally 100's of MS3 owners that have had this same experience.
 
So you bought 5year coverage for tires that are shot after ~20,000 miles? Is the warantee transferable? The guys act all douchebaggish so you get pressured into buying something. They tried to sell us clear bras, warantees, paint protectant, all this B.S. when we got the MS3 and the RX8
