nice pickup 2009 will be great with our new WHIPS
Ha driving my sunfire around for the last 7 years was fun and got the job done but now that I work full time, I saw this and jumped all over it when they guy knocked the price down. I didnt even have to leave when he gave me the price I asked.
THIS WILL FAIL HORRIBLY. I will not get into the differences of the too motors, because it’ll be more entertaining this way.
Glad you like it.
Rocked my sisters 6 quite a bit and passionately hate it for alot of reasons. Had a 3 rental and that didn’t improve my opinion at all.
Nice car the 2.3 is decent in these… get a spoiler on there asap they look 10x better
Oh and if you want a stubby speed3 antenna let me know i have 2 left… $10/each
test drove one. wasnt for me.
hope you enjoy it though.
Great buy, she’s beautiful. The 2.3l responds really well to tuning. I remember on the MS3 an intake plus exhaust netted almost 50 hp. It’ll be neat to see a 4 dr m3 build up. Eibach + turbo + int/exh = awesome car.
Thank you thank you. Hopefully my loan stuff is done monday so I can pick it up.
This is the first thing I am getting for it until the summer.
Sharp looking car!
wtf title change, attention whore!
please dont try and mod this or turbo it or exhaust or anything like that
tints, that ipod thingy, maybe indash navi or something.
dont try and make it fast
What does this Mazda run in the 1/4? Just wondering.
I hear they handel real nice.Would make for a cool road course car.
Nice, always liked the hatch for some reason.
Hope to see how it comes out after its started.
Just google stock red mazda 3 and u will be good. Jk nice pick up
:tup: always liked the sedan more, especially in red…
but +1 on enjoying a nice new stock car… warranties don’t cover blown engines from failed turbocharging endeavors.
If you wanted a speed3 you should’ve just got one… it’ll cost you all sorts of money just to make this one on par with a speed3 anyway, with less than comforting reliability. Enjoy stock! 
I test drove a mazda 3 5 door did not want.
nice pick up! :tup:
my good friend has a 2004 mazda 3S and I absolutely love it
its really a blast to drive
Would you mind PM’ing me what you paid for it? I’m curious as to what they’re going for these days.
Ya def not expecting to make this a drag car. If I wanted a car that was a fast 0-60 I would have bought one. I plan on putting a few mods to it. Saw a 3 with a ms3 exhaust on it which gave it a cooler sound because this thing is silent but that might be it.
It might be fun to swap out the suspension and give it a shot on a track one summer.
Seriously. Just because a 2.3L motor in a Mazda 3 doesn’t mean it’s identical. Sure, you -could- swap out the MS3 parts, but you’d be better off trading it in right now for a real Mazdaspeed 3, taking a $2,000 hit (unless they’re willing to only charge you for the paperwork), and getting it factory done.
If you do it yourself, it will cost you as much as the difference, take you a lot of time, and you’ll manage to void your factory warranty while having a questionable build quality that you’re the only one answerable to.
It’s a great car, and I’m glad you like it, but if you want a Mazdaspeed 3, deal with the wagon, and go back and get it! I’ve never really understood the mindset of buying a brand new, lower trim car, with the mindset that one can just mod it up to the high trim. If the cost’s the same, I’d prefer to have the factory package, personally!
Anyway, it’s a hot car, I’d love to have one. Congratulations!
A hair over 16. A Speed3 should be a hair over 14.
I’ve seen ms3’s and they do look hawt.
