HOLY FUCK!!! This car is nuts. I pull in 6th gear still. As for the price, I fought for more on the trade in and wouldn't budge til I got more for my trade-in which I didn't, they instead applied what they were giving to me off the car so I also paid less in taxes and all the other crap. Then they also gave me $200 off GAP and $700 off the extended warranty protection so I walked out saving more money than anyone has gotten off at that dealer for the MS3.

I can manage the payments, my insurance will be roughly $300 cheaper a year since it is a four door :yay:

I am extremely excited and regret nothing about it.

I just wish I could see the turbo working :sad:

Pictures will come in a bit.

If you have to "look at your finances" to see if you can afford it, you can't.

EDIT: You got it.

Yeah, I spoke with one of the financing people at work, laid everything down, asked if it was a smart move and he said, it looks like you can afford it, it's a better car (faster, more space, etc...) so it looks like everything is in the clear. So when he said it isn't a bad financial choice I was like...THANK YOU! And left work early :rofl:

Don't really need those nowadays. The turbos dissipate heat a lot quicker, and manufacturers usually provide more than ample cooling.

Just don't go into prolonged boost the last 5-10 minutes of the drive.

When you feel it lounging around to "okay lets accelerate now", look at the RPM's. I don't know when the K04 spools on that car, havent' driven a MazdaSpeed 3 yet.

But yeah, keep it under those RPM's in the last few minutes of the drive to allow the turbo to cool down
