It IS smiling. It made it on to the G35 forum.


I thought they made a MazdaSpeed RX8? I might be confusing it with the RX8 Shinka. I haven't seen a MS RX8 on the street though..

Umm....This car is no longer a FF. Yes from the factory they are FF, but you must know that most of the time these guys put things in like AWD or switch to RWD. Also the engine is totally different.

On the MS3....I totally hate these cars. It's like everyone that owns one thinks they are the fastest car on the planet. On top of that there are so many better choices out there if you want more space or want to drive a station wagon.......the acura tsx wagon, EVO Wagon, Sti wagon, or my top choice if I HAD to have a wagon would be the Dodge Magnum with Hemi and RWD FTW

Car was FWD, and broke record at willow springs for FWD. I know a guy that does some of their engine work.

Yes that particular (ugly tc) is a FWD, Rado's new Scion is AWD, but also do you think that the FWD Scion is factory or even handles like a FWD? He has so much money in that car that it is a totally different monster than any FWD that any of us could afford.

I like it. After buying one I'd invest in an aftermarket front bumper. This car is much faster than any new Acura on a track and is leaps and bounds cheaper than a new Sti or Evo.

Cheap is the operative word here.

I am actually in the market for a car. I'm looking at a '10 MS3 or a 05 G35 coupe. I'm leaning towards the G but I really like the MS3 features as well. When I test drove it, I thought it was going to be just another little hatch, but boy was I wrong. The turbo makes it very fun and addicting to drive, however I really like the Gs for their leather, heated seats, sunroof, and VQ rev up engine.

For what that little car is, it is pretty amazing. That factory turbo really does a great job! The G just looks so damn good though.
