Hey all. Got a couple questions for you 3/Speed3 Hatchback drivers or people that know about them.

1. How is it as a first car?
2. How much will they run used?
3. Gas mileage? Mods for better GM?
4. Anything else I would need to know?

Thanks

Alright.

I am in Columbus, GA (2 hours south of ATL)
15, looking now so I don't have to wait a year when I turn 16 to get a car, which also tells you this is my first car(hopefully)
I want a reliable car with decent mileage that isn't slow but won't get me killed. I want manual transmission. Used. Color shouldn't effect this but white, black, or red.

How much is less than desirable on the mileage?

If you need any other info, ask away.

Thanks for the welcome.

Cool sounds good to me.

I don't want a race-quality super fast car or anything just something with some get up and go. And also to show up a friends gay 08 stock civic haha =). To cocky about that ugly thing. But will prices drop drastically by next year this time?

How easy to find are aftermarket parts? Not trying to rice it out. Want to keep it fairly basic but things like exhaust, wheels, that stuff.

Thanks

This car is just starting to sound better and better. Thanks for all the replies.

If I have more questions I will let y'all know.

When was the earliest MazdaSpeed3 Hatchback model?

 

[CoryD]

So in February of 2010 how much will a used MazdaSpeed3 run me?

 

[CoryD]

That makes sense. I guess I will just have to wait and see.

Thanks for all the answers

I am definitley set on getting a used 07 Speed3 Manual Hatchback. If I can find one, next year that isn't outrageously priced. If I can't find a Speed then I will more than likely go with a normal 3 Manual Hatchback.

I appreciate to helpful answers.

If anyone is looking to sell their Speed3 or 3 HB by next year this time plus or minus a couple months then shoot me a PM.

I should have my permit already but I had forgotten to turn in my attendance form for the school until today. And knowing them I won't get it back til next week. No fun.

Where could I find a hoody and/or shirt with a Mazda emblem/logo on it or maybe even a Speed3 emblem? I checked the merch site listed here and came up with nothing except a ZoomZoom hoody.

I understand your point Antimatter but I plan on keeping this car for a good while. So it wont be a car that I just speed around town in and wreck it. Thats not at all why I want it. There are other features other than speed that I am interested with the MS3.

I know this will sound show-offish but its not supposed to. My grandparents set up a college fund for me from the day I was born so that is taken care of.

I will more than likely go test drive a 2.3L 3 Hatch and the Speed3 and see what is better for me.

Thanks for the input.
