A few weeks ago I joined this site thinking I was going to be buying a Mazda 3 sport, long story short me and the dealership got into it and I called the deal off.

Problem was they were the only dealer with in 2,000 miles that had a black sport in a manual with the sunroof package and they wouldn't trade it to any other dealer!

The speed 3 was the car I really wanted from the get go! And after reading so many good things about the speed3 on this site and others, I finally went to a MazdaSpeed dealership and test drove one I didn't even make it 2 blocks before I was sold on it.

Sorry for the long story I just can't wait to get my speed 3 tomorrow!

Any tips on breaking it in?
also if I decide to get the cold air intake should I just buy the one from Mazda and have them install it. I've heard stories of people having idling issues installing other aftermarket intakes. and how much more HP does that mazda intake give the car not like I need anymore!!!

Thanks in advance

Just make sure the intake tube is under 3" diameter, and idle should be a-ok.

I doubt the intake will make much difference, but should give you some decent sound, and a few extra hp. Also, my CAI gave me better mpg, so thats a plus.
