The only rattle I have in my RX-8 is my wife when I am driving to fast.
LOL with your 3.

The irony there is that sheusually drives faster and accelerate harder than I do. She also shows more road-rage than I do too.

RE: First Mazda
I'm new too. This is my first Mazda as well. It is a Protege 5.
We got the new car for the baby we just had. The previous one was a 2 door convertible. We had to put the top up or down to get the babyin and out of the car. That was a pain in the ***!
This isn't good though, in the new member area you see alot of people having problems with their cars. I think I am going to look into this a little more. The last thing I need is to shell out money for a repair. I really can't afford that with the baby and all.
Does anyone know if the Protage 5's are dependable. I have a 2003 with 41,000 miles.

RE: First Mazda
I know lots of ppl that have P5's and are very happy w/them. Many that do AutoX regularly.
I personally like the red, yellow or white ones myself. Good looking car. And they take a CF hood very well too, but I don't imagine you'd be too interested in that.

RE: First Mazda
lol can ya say rice if you put a CF hood on it richard. carbon fiber hoods look dumb unless its painted the same colour as the car then its good. but anyway the protege 5 is a nice looking car. the protege turned into the mazda3 sedan and the protege5 turned into the mazda3 station wagon( waiting for richard to get mad at me loll) but i have worked on this car once for an oil change and tire pressure. car ran fine and it had 143000 KMs on it.but all mazdas with the exception of the tribute annnd perhaps some of the trucks which were made by ford are good cars.

RE: First Mazda
welcome to the mazda scene where all the (BEEP) goes down! i've never driven a mazdaspeed3, i should take a test drive one of these days as they look like very cool cars. I'm just not a fan of hatchbacks at this point and time in my life lol.
