Nice! I drive a gen1 2007 Mazdaspeed3... and just to rub it in, 2 payments left. :]



I would LOVE to only have 2 payments left. Hell, I would love to only have two YEARS left, lol. I technically like the looks on the gen1 cars better. But, they hold their values so well that I would have only saved about $3K getting a used one with 50k miles. There were only two in my area at the time. One was a 2007 with 50k for $18k, the other was my 2010 with 1,000 miles and it was $21K. I thought it was worth the extra money for a lot less miles.

that's sweet. lot of hp for the money right there. just curious, how much boost on these?



I'm not sure what the top boost is. The stock gauge only goes to 17psi. I love the car too, but my only two complaints are: I wish it was AWD, which leads to the second complaint. It has a TON of torque steer because of all that HP to the front wheels.

Sweet car, my brother had the same exact one, same color as well before he traded it in for a 2012 Rubicon. It gave my 09 Challenger R/T a really good race. He bought a Cobb tuner and was able to increase the boost as well modify a bunch of other settings if your into that thing. It seriously made a huge difference in performance. As far as the AWD is concerned, he bought some black steel rims and Blizzak tires and that thing was unstoppable in the winter. Sweet car though, I've always loved the Speed 3.

Unstoppable in Blizzaks is about right.

Stop making me miss what I can't afford. :(

Maybe in 6 or 7 years...

The hell did Nissan do with my beloved Pathfinder? Thing looks like a luxury oversized station wagon now.

A far cry from this:

Dear Lord I miss that car (well, not that car, but my 1988 Pathfinder).

Yeah, my wife and I were watching a commercial for the new Pathfinder the other day and we both thought it was super ugly.

We have a 2012 Juke and a 05' Civic in the garage. Don't mind the dead frog that did not survive making it across the driveway.

My '95 grand prix. My dad bought it in 2004, and the car has been great to him. No engine trouble, no transmission trouble. Even though its past 165k I would put this engine in another car. He 'sold' it to me for 500 dollars a couple of months ago, although the title is still in his name. Best 500 dollar car you can get, imo.
