i have one...i like it. they only real problem is the dreaded "clunck"...you'll hear it when you ride over a bump. you can take it to Mazda, they'll replace the bushings for free...and no more clunk!

oh, 1000 blue mp3's were made and 500 yellow mp3's were made. you can call mazda's customer service with the VIN and they'll tell you what # it is in production. mine is #1476/1500

i definatly suggest you get one. I just recently bought one and i love it. It is a definate head turner and the handling compared to a stock pro is phenomenal. So far i put approx. 2k miles on it and it is running great. I did have the clunking in the back b/c of the bushings but like Topher said you just take it to mazda and you have no clunk and just a sweet *** ride. Good luck in finding your MP3.
