thanks do you have a mazda 3

 

I have a 3i, 2.0L 5-speed, I now have over 37,000 miles on it in 17 months. I'm hard on the car (acceleration wise) and I average around 29 mpg...I've gotten as high as 35 and could probably get a little better if I could ditch the lead foot. I LOVE my 3.

Stock Mazda3 (17" wheels) handles 0.87g.....the same as a Nissan 350Z....so yeah, it takes the curves nice. Real nice.

I couldn't be happier with my 3 and would buy it again in a heartbeat. (This is probably the most fun/best value car I've ever owned.)

 

i have a mazda 3 sp23, its the one underneath my name

its an awesome car, definetly a head turner and everythig that everyone says about it is true. its an awesome car to drive, comfortable, great accel, has lots of mods if you are interesed in doing any of those. its a great car!

 

yeh im interested in putting mods in the car

 

does lowering the car improve handling

 

absolutely.

i've got Eibach pro-kit springs and camber links installed. It made quite a difference in both appearance and performance.
