Bye Bye Focus.... - DILATED - 08-07-2004
Mazda 3 GT sedan.
Titanium Grey Metallic
5 speed
GFX Package
Leather
Just purchased it on Wednesday night and it will be coming in within 2 to 3 weeks.
It is now at port in Vancouver and will be coming here by train.
I can't wait until it gets here.
I will be selling off all of my mods within the next couple of weeks, just look in the For Sale Forum.
I will miss the Focus for some things, but I need a change in the car. Well, I really need a four door sedan and the Mazda 3 fitted the bill.

Damn, you sold your focus? Damn, that car was pretty sweet. ahh well, Congrats on your new Mz3.

Yeah Paolo,
I sold it. Like I said before I will definately miss the power from the supercharger, but time to move on now.
Thanks
Vito :)

Wow Vito,
it's too bad because you just installed the supercharger. In my opinion you made the right choice because the Mazda 3 GT is incredible! Hope everything goes smoothly!

NICE!!! Best car in its class, IMHO...
I was considering the EXACT car (model and colour) earlier this year...but I'm remaining carless and saving my pennies for now ;)

Thanks guys,
I don't have any pics of the new car yet. It should be here in about 2 weeks.
I just can't wait. I will come by the next meet, once I have my car.

Nice choice in car my buddy just got his Mazda 3 sport(hatchback) 3 weeks ago. Pritty nice car.

Nice choice but the seats in a GS/GX? model I looked at looked like crap. Hope the GT has seats like the Maz3 sport. Great car and half the price of a new Volvo S40 which is based on the same platform.

Can some one quickly summarize the "numbers"? (hp/ft-lbs/weight)
I imagine it does everything better than the Focus? (0-60, 1/4 mile etc.)
Bye Bye Focus.... - DILATED - 08-12-2004
Andrew,
The Mazda 3 GT ratings are:
2.3 liter - 160 hp @ 6500 RPM, 150 lb. ft @ 4500 RPM
Curb weight with manual transmission is 1 253 kg converts to approximately
2756 lbs.
0-60 is in low 7.0 second range
1/4 is high 15's to 16.00 second range with the manual.
SVT ZX3 - the seats in the sedan GT is the same as the seats in the Mazda 3 Sport GT (wagon). I also noticed the difference between the GT seats and the base GX/GS seats,

if I'm not mistaken, isnt that the PZEV engine?
Bye Bye Focus.... - DILATED - 08-13-2004
Hey Paolo,
I know that the bottom end of these two engines are the same, but Mazda has redesigned the whole top end of this engine.
Vito :)
