2003.5 Mazdas in stock in my area

[t3ase]

Yeah, that should be sweet. Although I still love my spicy orange! About eleven days since I bought it and I'm at 1589 miles already VERY fun car.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
it looks like someone took a air pump stuck it to the front bumper and blew it up. its just an attachment if you want it that bad you'll be able to buy one easily, but once gian its to round thats passive not aggressive

 

[t3ase]

go look at one. =)

 

[Ryan]

LOL, i have seen all i wanna see i still will dissagree, its not agrressive. it just doesnt have that i wanan break s*** look to it, round curves are not good LOL. my car makes me wanna break s*** and go fast lol.

 

[t3ase]

"round curves"? Isn't that what a curve is?

 

[Ryan]

come on man tease you male jiggalo, admit it, you really didn't like it.. i know you want to so just do it.
anyone else that agree's pls back me up its ugly common.

 

[t3ase]

Seriously, have you seen it in person? I'm thinking of switching over to it once my current bumper gets screwed up.. Just an opinion thing I guess.

 

[Ryan]

yeah i said its just a lip, thats added on, personally i wouldn't ad it but if it floats your boat go for it.

 

[Notorious]

I'm not really a fan of the new wing. Also I kind of like having the fog lights. Are the gauges different of just the needles?

 

[t3ase]

Just the needles. They have a silver "base" as opposed to the black the MSPs currently have..

 

[TIGHTanium]

It is less agressive for sure.....they car turned from a "sport-compact-sedan" to an "semisport-rounder-semicompact-semiugly-sedan"

 

[Ryan]

ding ding ding and we have a winner fold tightanium is correct and agree's with me

Well I don't know about "breaking s***," but the 03.5's front end remind me of Tri-point Engineering's touring cars (which ARE freaking fast). I personaly never liked the fog lights to begin with. Made the car look like a WRX wanna-be in my opinion. I know I'm not going to change your opinion but I thought someone should stand up for the 03.5's.

 

[Newf]

it'll be hard for dealerships to get rid of them in my opinion if anyone has the same taste as me.

You drive an orange car.

I rest my case



Just kidding.

Honestly, from someone that has had a MP3 for 20 months. I'm gettick sick of looking at the design, and want something a little fresher. I do love the mp3's design ( notice I said, MP3's design, not the 2003, as the 2003 is an exact copy....arg) but, the wing is my only complaint, and that the front isn't low enough so when your looking side on, it looks unfinished. But I'm being very picky. I have had a few complaints from people brave enough to say it about the wing, it looks odd from certain angles, and their right. I'm not leaving the 2003.5 stock anyhow, and have a few idea's that'll make it more MP3'ish without looking exactly like it. I'm hoping to make the best of both worlds out of it somehow.

You guys should judge these cars too much until you see them in person, and see what people will do to it. I'm waiting to see it, and use my own opinion. We don't have near enough pics of the 2003.5 vs the 2003 to judge an opinion from pics alone.

 

[Ryan]

sorry still not agressive enuf for me the "mp3 design" is agressive enuf not to add a life raft to the front. i wonder if insurance companies will lower your rate a lil bit, cuz thats gotta cushion a front end collision

 

[LADY MSPD]

the whole car weighs more than a 2003 cause the side skirts, wing, front bumper,rear bumper, and bigger exost= more weight...

 

[Newf]

Where are you getting this information too??? the rear wing is actually supposed to be lighter then the 2003, Mazda has already said this.

the exaust is actually smaller in size isn't it?...weight I have no idea, and all mp3's/MP5/MSP have the skirts.


front lip is the only addition, and it probaly weighs less then the fogs do in the 2003. Very little difference if any

 

[LADY MSPD]

im good friends with the manager at the mazda dealership, the front bumper sags down lower so does the back and the exost is alittle bigger than the 2003

 

[LADY MSPD]

the 03.5 bumpers are actually bigger in size than the 03

 

[LADY MSPD]

the msp,mp3,mp5 all have the same kit but the 03.5 has a whole different one....
