In a few months I am gonna get a 2007 or 2008 Mazda3 Hatchback for my first car.
How do you guys feel about the car?

Mod wise, I don't know if I should start with performance first or exterior look.



I was thinking about getting Road Magnet Performance Lowering Springs, Rims, then intake, headers and such.

adding performance parts to a 200hp fwd shitbox is like putting makeup on a pig.

so you're saying it's beneficial to women?

where are you getting 200hp? These have less than 160hp.


Op: You shouldn't be adding performance mods to a NON SPEED 3. You will be wasting your money. Go buy the speed3 and then mod it.

yeah for sure, get the mazdaspeed3 if you want performance, I think they are 260+ HP. Spending the extra money on the car will get you much more bang for your buck than trying to performance up a 150 HP car

i thought he said speed3. that is even worse lol.

A speed3 has a lot more than 200 hp and is a car actually worth putting money into regardless of its drive train.

Alright, what's your guys advice for a car then?
My max price is 10k

For 10k, get yourself something RELIABLE.

Take care of it?
