Found a 2008 Mazdaspeed3 for $5k at 140k miles

you realise you can push the seat back, right?

:( I don't feel short at 5'11". She is short af, though. It's great.

Thank you. That's been useful information.

>considering buying a fail wheel drive cuckbox

How fucking fat are you? I am 6'2 and about 190lbs and never had an issue in my mates one.

Sea foam won’t actually help at all with these cars. They’re extremely reliable when taken care of though, i own a speed3 with 120k and have had very little problems. I would say ama, but I’m at work and probably won’t respond, maybe I’ll try and check in later. Buy it, these cars are a fuckin blast

>Has the turbo given you any trouble?

nope

this I'm 6"4 I have more room in mazda3's then civics. Seat goes all the way back in those cars.

At 5'11" you're an inch over the white man average not including fucking freaks like dutch, flemmings or scandis.

How does gen 1 compare to gen 2? Aside from look what are the major differences? Is one better than the other?

gen 2 is a fixed everything wrong with the gen 1, i'd aim for a gen2 if you can. gen 3 is a huuuuuuuuuuuuge upgrade even if they are N/A. Gen 4 will be great when they bring out the 2.5 turbo from the cx9
