i'm with ya, dude. i came to the same conclusion and traded my POS daily in for a vanilla '08 mazda3. i test drove and thought about spending some extra dough for a ms3, but realized there's not really a reason to, if all i need out of it is comfort, mileage, and reliability.

There was an MS3 last week at a BMW lapping day. Had the noisiest tires on the track. They were howling every time he just thought about turning the wheel. It was a FWD car in a RWD world being a Bimmer meet. It was whoopin up on most of the Beemer brigade though. Never got to talk to him to see what mods had been done if any.

You lot are just like my buddies here. The trick is to have a r-e-a-s-o-n-a-b-l-e car for a daily driver. Once you have that, you do one very critical thing: You "Leave it alone!" I know this is hard for many of us here, but believe me, it is for the best. I keep a very strict line between my Miata (just for fun) and my BMW (keep bone stock). I strongly recommend this setup.

I hate ******* with cars all the god damn time. I don't have the time or money to **** with the miata, def. no another car...and why even **** with FWD gaydom? I'm still thinking about a base model hatch, but I would enjoy the ms3 a lot more even though its another $10k. I might still consider a used one, but I won't find a white car.
