    Default new ms3 owner

    Hi,
    Bought a 2008 ms3, phantom purple mica(?) and it is great! Previously drove '89 taurus SHO for 15 years with lots of pay per laps at Shannonville on it. It was time to have something newer than 20 years old, but it has been a very fun drive. Now for sale since it won't be used now we have the Mazdaspeed.

    +1. I'm not aware of any purple coloured Mazdaspeed3's.... There are so many shady used car dealers advertising regular Mazda 3's as Mazdaspeed Mazda 3's these days. Hopefully, that is not the case here. In any case, welcome to the forum and glad you like your ride.

    To the OP, can you update with pics?

    Good day,
    Thanks to all who were concerned that it wasn't really an MS3. Pics now in my album for all to see "disturbo" as we have named it. The color is on the ident plate inside the drivers door and it is the same color throughout so I doubt it was painted after manufacture. Maybe a US car? I am going to check with Mazda to see about warranty etc.

    Hard to tell from the pics, but I think so too. That, or Metro Grey.

    Granpazoom,

    Glad to know you definately have a Mazdaspeed3. What colour code does it say on the inside of the door?

    For instance, Phantom Purple Mica would be code 34N. Cosmic Blue is 34M, Metro Grey is 36C and the best and only colour for the MS3 is 16W, Black Mica.

    I stand corrected- it is cosmic blue, 34M which I misread as 34N. Old age has its problems, like seeing correctly sometimes. It was originally from Bay Mazda in Belleville.

    Welcome!

    I think he bought the Mazdaspeed just 'cause he likes the pretty lights inside. Especially when he changes the radio volume.

    BTW - granpazoom is my dad... (Dad - Look at my wish list!)

    2006 Mazda3 Sport GS/Arctic White with sharkfin antenna.

    Wish list: Tints, black rims, aluminum door sills, Mazda3 aluminum pedals, MP3 player hook-up, angel eyes.
