Can you say obvious statement FTL? I love the people who see FWD and immediately start making elitist comments about torque steer like that's the #1 problem facing the world when they probably have never even driven the car.

It seems the early '06 ms6 builds are the ones with the possible turbo problem:

And if you read the thread you'll see that some of the issues are most likely leaking coolant and not oil. The '07s don't seem to have the issue.
As for the ms3, none that I know of. I've already hit 13k and nothing.
Seems like you're reaching a little too hard and fast right now. You're making some noise but not quite talking out your as* yet.

Well said! Of course there's torque steer, but in no way would I call it too much. A little time behind the wheel is all it takes to get used to it.

I drove one with the XEDE and aftermarket intercooler all boosted up and I came away thinking..."peppy" but fat...dont like the FWD...feels like your driving a big wheel with that huge plastic tire...no thanks...

Big wheels are for pimps only. Maybe that was your problem.

It's sad but 100% true that if the Speed 3 was not as fast or couldn't compete with or beat out the RX8 in any type of performance, the bashing or criticism wouldn't exist. Looks like the defensive insecurity is coming out for all to see. Some things never change eh? This site has resorted to bashing a fellow Mazda vehicle now. Come on people, love what you own or what you wish you could own, and respect other cars for why they are built. You are making this site more of an embarassment then it already is. What happened to being secure with the car you own? SHEESH!!!!

Slap a turbo on a crossfire and it will cut thru time and space...
So what's your point again?

No...its oil for sure...and just as this forum lacks EVERYONE who purchases a car so does that one...you should not use a forum as a measuring stick...

OK it's quite clear now, you ARE indeed talking out your ***. See what a little practice can do? Now carry on, it's amusing.

Another big swing and a miss. You're absolutely enamored with your smug sense of e-sarcasm and e-wit. Sorry dude...you're just a re-run though. There's one of you on every forum. Eventually you'll lose interest though, long after we've lost interest in you. Wait. Nope. That ship's already sailed. Your sense of humor reminds me a little of the old "war stories" section in the SRT forums. At least those kids were original though. They photochopped their own funny pictures and had some good jokes about sock puppets and things like that. Your material is dated and sort of "Bob Saget era America's Funniest Home Videos" kind of funny. You're trying to entertain the wrong demographic. It's too juvenile for us and too confusing for our preschoolers. Re-register with another screen name and try again. Nobody has to know.

It stung a little but, huh? That's OK. Once the denial subsides you'll take a step back and realize the pin-point accuracy of my assessment. Then it's up to you where you take this little situation. I personally think anything short of a total do-over would just be kidding yourself. I'm gonna run now. I gotta get the kids to preschool. xx00x00xx
