Wanting to get an MS3. I have been away from these forums for about two years, so I thought I would come back to vent. I have previously had a '07 MS6 before the wife backed into it and bent the front frame. I have also had a '03.5 MSP as well. So I decided to try to go pedestrian and get a '09 Honda Accord,(4cyl. 5A) after the MS6 incident. My thinking was to try and get a nice family car, that gets decent gas mileage. Well turns out I have hated that decision ever since I bought the car. So now I am trying to convince the wife that I should ditch the Honda, and get an MS3. I miss driving a manual, plus having a hatchback would be a plus in my book. I even still have an Injen CAI from my MS6 that I could throw right into the MS3!! Anyway, sorry for the rant. It seems I always keep coming back to Mazda. Weird huh?
