i'll see what happens in the next coming year, maybe i'll be able to get one for cheap if they start producing alot more of these cars, i wouldn't pay more then 23k and my dealer gets maybe one every other week and they are usually sold the day they get it in. its just a waiting game for now

I got mine for 23k out the door for a silver speed3 sport. The bad thing is that I have to suffer 3 weeks in a 127 hp Civic EX. The torture!!!!!!!!! On a side note my wife is possibly getting a CX-7. She drove it and loved it. we might be a mazda family.

If they produce more it will have to be next year. The 5000 number alloted for this year is firm, and will not increase (according to my friend who owns a dealership). Your best bet would be to try and find a used one. But a car like this, can be difficult to find in perfect shape, and 100% stock.

One more thing. My friend also told me he expects (realistically) to get 8-9 of these cars this year. He has already received 4, and each one sold in a matter of a day or 2.

They have not released it yet, but here is the link for their intake on the speed 6

You can view performance data on the bottom for dynos. The 3's intake should be very similar.

i don't see why the numbers wouldn't increase, this could be a very hot selling car, i don't think mazda would make the mistake of making it a very limited production car when most of the speed3's are sold in nano seconds. but it will happen to the speed 6

Hey anyone out there wanna help me out with a HID conversion. The stock lowbeam HID's as nice and all and when they flick on they're a cold blue and then warm to a white. This is nice and I am not looking to be a gaudy blue purple thing but i want something alot brighter. I am not really sure how to go about the install aside from having it done at the local speedshop. MAzda does'nt supply directinos they say it's dangerous. WOOO If i'ma get brighter light a shock or two is worth it! lol There are Mazda3's rolling around town with hella awesome HID's and i wanna know what they are, and how, it sure is'nt stock. Thanks

PS if you have links to these things that'd be great, but i'ma good listener.

Hey man, I am only telling you what I heard from a very reliable source. This has also been repeated in just about every review I read as well.
