Who got that Mazdaspeed 3 thingee?
I forgot who it was that got one.
1. There is no #1 because I took it out.
2. What kinda gas mileage are you getting?
3. Do you feel safe in it?
4. Have you attempted to put 87 in it? What happened?
5. Any regrets?

It's me.

Damn I love this little car. No kidding.
Im averaging about 23mpg, so nothing stellar - but it's hard to stay out of the boost
I do a lot of in-town driving.
I feel safe in it. Side curtain airbags. I had it at Sebring 2 weekends ago and was passing Mustangs
There was an instructor there who also had one with racing slicks. He took me for a ride and I could NOT BELIEVE how he was running down porsches on that thing - it stuck like glue. It had a cold air intake, otherwise stock.
I haven't tried 87 but I don't think that I would in the summer. Maybe during the winter, I'd give it a shot.
You've hit on the only thing that I don't like - 93 octane. It's not really a deal-breaker though.
I'm down in St. Pete - you're welcome to stop by and check it out.

Well, the husband is scared of the size of it. Now I'm thinking of hunting down a 06-07 Mazdaspeed 6. Same thing basically, but a sedan w/ trunk, and a little bit bigger.
BTW, David Reese drives a Mazda 3. I didn't notice if it was a MS3 or regular ol' 3, but it was weird seeing such a big name in heads up racing driving that little car. LOL (his wife was driving a Dodge Magnum)

Try it first.
The weight of the 6 might take some of the pep out of it. It's AWD as well, which is neat, but heavy.
It certainly seems bigger than a Neon and an Evo. Similar to the current WRX.

I will say though Amanda, that my friend down there in FL has a MazdaSpeed3 and is a bigger guy than Donald (about the same height) and he's plenty comfortable in it.. Just depends on the person though..

Not gonna lie, looks like a fun little car. 93 is the only down side of it as i really can't hate on 23 to the gallon right now.
