http://www.the370z.com/introduction/...r-see-vid.html see this thread..

then go buy a MS3


But in all seriousness, my friends MS3 is really nice and will make me smile everytime I drive it... definitely a lot of car for the money. The interior seemed fairly nice for the price and all the room is awesome as well. Also he has NEVER been given trouble by the cops... just my :twocents:

Is a Z totally out of the question? :icon08:

Hey brother for now it is insurance wise and I want to get a new one with 10k mileage or less hard pressed to find what usaa gives me for the two which is under 26k for a brand new fully loaded car.

Looking for fun, reliability

:tiphat:

No worries, just thought maybe the time/$ was right. How about the new FR-S/BRZ? Taken a glance at either of those... would be a good fun reliable car...

honda civic si!

i got my 09 PW 370z 10k miles sport touring for 27k

1k more than 26... but still close

Just asking what is better deal between the two listed above?

MS3 :tup:

MS3. even if the facia is ugly, just put a bag over it. :icon17:

Kind of grows on you. The Honda they put customs leather seats in it which looks nice touch screen navi which is really cool.

But the Mazda is quicker, better handling more room, and better the options hopeully reliable?

the MS3's are made in japan, i think. who knows where the si's are made... canada? ohio? mexico?

for $24k range the MS3 can't be beat. :tup:

MS3 :tup:

:-) okay

Well see I'm wih usaa so!

:ugh2:

Thanks for your help guys

Thanks forthr help!

Si

Not a fan of rotary engines

... I thought only the rx8 was a rotary immpretty sure

ughhhhh :ugh2: :ughdance:

Yeah dude 4 banging

Love!

mazda speed 3 is not a rotary, and regarding civic Si I would say no because then you will fall under the Dr. Troll (rapist) category of cars. I personally wouldn't want those stereotypes.

:tup: who the hell is this ?

Aside from the douche.

Civic SI or ms3

If the MS3 does not have the rotary engine, then yes I would take it over the si

Research your cars... More

I've never had to search more than a Z:tup:

So what is sportier?
a MS3 or a RX8

Depends

:ugh2: not sure if seroius.


Did you read the thread started by "Dr. Rapist"

I'm intrigued !

I would get the SI, it's a cool nice looking fun little car.. And there are tons of parts out for it in the after market.

Just got done with the Mazda going to look at Honda one more time.

The Mazda I can get full tech package 24,995 brand new ...
Civic SI is 25880

Ended up goin with speed 3 I got it for. 24,995 fully loaded.

congrats! enjoy the new car!

Thank you!

Hopeully the ms3 is a better choice...

TURBO :tup:

for future upgradeability and best bang for the buck, the MS3 will win every time.

I used to have a MS3. Do not buy it if you plan on modding much beyond a catback. The motors have really bad PCV systems, weak journal bearing turbos and they tend to spark knock a lot. The High Pressure Fuel Pumps are known to lose PSI quickly if boost is raised and can run the motor dangerously lean. I knew six people with aftermarket turbo setups on their cars, all professionally installed/tuned and every single one of them blew their motors due to issues with PVC and crankcase pressure and one guy who didnt upgrade the HPFP.

Safe bet if you get one is to keep the mods minimal, do upgrade the HPFP with the CPE one ($1000!) and upgrade the intercooler if you want to avoid spark knock.

If you leave it stock and get a nice extended warranty, its a fun car for sure. The 08-09's are faster though!
