picking up my new MS3 tonight!

[cmflynner]

Been on the fence between a used rx8 and a brand new MS3 for the past few weeks and have finally decided on the speed3. I'm getting the Black Mica. It all came down to my kids fitting in the back seats, but the turbo makes up for the loss of rear wheel drive.

Can't wait to find some twisty roads!!!

Look forward to some good advice and discussions with you all!

Required Modifications:

Rear Motor Mount
Solid Shifter Bushings

Enjoy! Very nice choice.

A leftover 1st Gen or the 2nd Gen?

Congrats either way!

Congrats. If you can, sell one of the children and get wheels and tint. The MS3 will look better and the backseat will stay cleaner=Win,Win.

It's a 2010. It will be my first new Mazda but not my first Mazda. I've owned 4 rx-7s and still have an 88 Turbo II.

I'll post pics tonight or tomorrow. If I ever slow down long enough for a picture.

Congrats. With kids involved, the MS3 is almost a no-brainer. Love those rotaries, but they aren't overly practical.

Good man.

You better pick up the MS CAI, it's a must-have along with the shifter and motor-mount mods 08.5MS3 mentioned. More power and better fuel economy FTW.
