Please Help Me Decide.

Well I did it after all this time and now I can't wait to get my hands on it. I just punked down 500 bucks for a 2008.5 metro grey sport. Dealer is looking for one now in ny metro area. My cost was $22,769. which I feel is about right. He also told me that when younger kids come in with mods and blown engines mazda tells them sorry but not our fault.(boom02)

I ain't got no southern accent. My folks are from the nawth.

FWIW I think it's a good car for commuting and usage for someone in sales with one caveat. I'd look into a set of 17 inch wheels. You'll have a boat load of tire choices, it will ride a bit softer, and tires will cost you $75-80 each vs. $150

Are you riding 17"s now, Swamp?

Coming from 3 RX-7 FC's, I just love how practical this car is.
From moving back to my town house to all the HomeDepot runs for repairs.
Keep rotating the tires, i'm getting atleast 25k from mine.
Plus if you want to feel like a kid you can step on the pedal and do that too.

Absolutely love mine and its great on long trips I drove mine across the country and no complaints on the ride. my dad borrowed my car for a trip once and he's 52 and he absolutely loved it and he as a bad back and didn't complain about the ride. So in my opinion go for it

07 MS3 Black bone stock for now

Honestly, i would say go for altima coupe v6 for your situation. It is plenty sporty, plenty comfortable and plenty nice with enough room. Much more civilized for long days of driving. You will appreciate keyless ignition etc when your constantly going in and out of the car.

Also, that VQ have enough grunt to embarass plenty stock ms3 drivers if that matters to you.

Well I picked my ms3 up last night and took her home. My kids loved it and my wife even took it for a ride. The metro grey is real nice and almost looks dark greenish blueish greyish or something. Anyway thanks to everyone on the board for helping make the choice for the ms3. Although I dont post alot I will be adding the cobb cai and motor mount mod based on this board.

Oh and my wife said in 4 years when our kids (twin boy and girl) are leagal to drive this can be their first car. After she drove it she said NO FREAKING WAY. LOL

Again: Thanks to all on this great forum.

Ive heard this before . That Altima must also be able to embarrass plenty of stock 350z's .


Congratulations !! For your new purchase . You may want to consider getting the mazdaspeed Cai now that you know your dealer is not Mod friendly at all . I really doubt the motor mount will void anything .
