To Pinky:

I'm on the East side. Sagamore Hills (thats just south of Bedford).



To Johnf514:

I came very close to buying the mazdaspeed 3. Basically I have three options:

1. Buy my BMW 325xi out of the lease (didn't want to cause its auto, with only 1 year warranty left and 2 slow)

2. Buy Mazdaspeed 3 or 6 new

3. Buy a used car.

i ended up getting the 06 G35 w/ 6800 miles on it for just a little more than a new MS3. The wife and I like the styling on the G35 a bit better and the warranty was identical (has 3 years 53,000 miles left) so I went with the G35.

But let me tell you the MS3 really really impressed me. Great vehicle.

Ya made the right choice with the G35 over the Ms3, lordhamster. My Mazda brothers would kill me, but the G35 and G37 is just overall a better vehicle. That said, new vs. new, it's about 8-10K more. :)

Wicked car congrats! :D

When I was learning my instructor told me that one of his students got a manual infinity but he drove it and said the friction point was much much higher- almost at the very top vs bottom, thus causing a lot of legwork for the clutch operation. Not to break your bubble or anything- maybe he just had a badly adjusted one. :?
