Congrats man. I've been eyeing the Touring for quite some time

I am :x: they will continue this for next year.

 

Big turbo + small engine + high specific outout = small powerband

 

The dealership I bought from just sold their GT the day before I got mine. They are nice and all, I wouldn't have minded the MP3 capability, Trip computer, navi, and few other bells and whistles...but they didn't have it and I didn't have another $2k for it.

 

Black or bronze on red ftw.

 

nice. i still need to drive one, but i'm afraid it'll make it buy it.

 

Ummm Yeah. That was the case with me. Craig drove it the other night and was impressed afterwards...my roommate who has an S4 loved it too and said the turbo was pretty good.

 

Congrats. From the sound of it, it doesn't seem like you're taking the financial hit people thought you would since your payments on your Prelude were so high to start out with. Hope you enjoy the car. I know I would!

 

any updates on your new car?

 

ohh man no way in hell would i pay that much for a mazdaspeed 3 maybe for the speed 6, and how come you have not looked into the 6 instead of the 3. but if you like it thats great man and congrats on the buy.

 

I like the 3, less weight, less $$$. Yes the 6 is nice and AWD. But I just don't need that much money taken from me a month. Also, there are NO incentives on the MS3 so you won't get great interest rates.

As for updates, I have surpassed the dreaded 666 mile marker. This thing is fast, handles well, roomy, comfortable, semi-luxurious, and all in all a great car.

I have yet to take pictures, but my 02 CBR is almost the EXACT same color!

Worry not, there will be a picture thrend
