Mazdaspeed3 - Honda Pilot

Ferdball · 01-04-2007, 05:58 PM

Since the wife took over the Pilot, I've been stuck with the CR-V. The vehicle is acceptable, but has no power and a very choppy ride.

So, I got one with 18" wheels.

...nice shiny badges...

Ferdball · 01-04-2007, 06:01 PM

...clear taillights...

Ferdball · 01-04-2007, 06:01 PM

...and a nice little spoiler thing. Its a good thing, because you wouldn't want to fly off the freeway.

There is absolutely no way that I'm not getting a ticket.

That Mazda is NICE! How much do they cost,
Bought the Matrix for 19,900 loaded plus tax it is a great daily driver.
Pilot is weekend ride.

Congrats!

I don't know how you can say Matrix and Mazdaspeed 3 in the same sentence. Totally different vehicles.

Nice set of wheels.

In this genre, it would be the MS3 or the GTI. Both outstanding vehicles and unbeatable amount of fun for the money. Enjoy.

Some doctor guy ordered it, but backed out at the end. I had to buy it with the Sirius module and the auto dimming/Homelink mirror. It stickered at about $25k, and sticker is what everyone is paying here.

I really like the car. The power is incredible. My MPG is really suffering right now.

As the Feb07 Car & Driver "Best Letter" states (this is straight from the mag so don't take this as my political statement) "George W. Bush will start speaking in complete sentences before I find a Mazdaspeed 3 for under $23,000." Nick S. -- NYC

BTW, hot car. That shot from the rear quarter makes the car look that much hotter. Thanks for sharing.

And isn't the reflection of the Pilot in that side shot a beautiful site!
