fml i got v6 accord 2016.

[stockms3]

Got my 07 speed3 in 2007 and still got it today. Too much money in it and I enjoy driving it here and there.

I am looking at the new XC60 though to replace my daily.

[PapaBruno]

Wouldn't mind getting a truck like a Tacoma or F-150...something with enough power that would allow me to tow the Speed on a trailer if needed.

Downgraded, why? My theory is always buy something more powerful/faster when trading up.

Because not everyone is looking for more power in a car. How is a 2016 accord v6 a downgrade from an MS3? More reliable, more tech, better gas mileage, newer, warranty, still actually supported by Honda... I could go on.

I'm waiting until 2018, and then very seriously looking at getting rid of the MS3, getting a Tesla Model 3 as a daily, and a 2g dsm (97-98 talon/97-99 eclipse) throwing a 1g engine and rear in it, and making that the toy I play with.

Those Model 3 are nice. I'm also looking into those as well

I was interested in the Model 3 until it became clear that it would only have that absolutely fugly and distracting centrally-mounted touch screen display and nothing else.

All the Teslas has that huge center console touch screen display.

It's basically $35k tesla, even less with tax credits.

I miss my gs-t. A buddy and I were talking about doing this. It would have to be a gs-x though. Awd and sexier then an evo imo

MS3 is a cheap econobox. Few people care about power and how fast a car is. To be honest I enjoy MS3 but in my daily I'm looking for comfort, tech, safety and fuel efficiency. I don't give a crap about power......but then again when I was 20 I had the same mindset as you do now.

Yeah I get it, not everyone cares about having power all the time. I'm not young and immature if that's what you're referring to. I'm a middle aged accountant, I just think life is too short to drive a boring car even if it's a daily driver. My MS3 used to be my DD until I picked up my CLK550 coupe. V8 power and all the luxuries you would expect out of a MB and surprisingly enough I can load the wife and kid in it and they are more comfortable in there compared cramming into the MS3. I don't understand you're first sentence, that MS3 is a cheap econobox?

Nice!

[jfspeed6]

I didn't really move on because I still drive my MS6 but I bought an 02 Mercedes CLK430 cabriolet last year.

I've been thinking about doing an RX-8 project car with a 13b swap for a while now. Always wanted a rotary but don't want to go backwards speed wise.

2016 Fiesta ST, got it in brand new in February. Not as fast but I did one AutoX event and I'm hooked. The events are right up the road from where I live (~10 min) so I really don't have a reason to not go. Handles miles better than the Speed out of the box and you really do feel the 500lb weight difference. It's way too much fun. However, I do miss the torque steer.

I picked up a new Fiesta st as well, a '17 base model. Just threw on some 16" rota slips and a muffler delete with a mountune panel filter. Going to leave it just like this for a few years, love this little car.

I also picked up a '10 V6 accord.

Whats up stranger! Glad to see you posting!

Still have my 07 MS3. But I am thinking about retiring it from daily driver soon. Leaning towards an F150 raptor, but not sure if I'll find a good used one at a good price. Would also love a Shelby GT mustang, but its just not practical at this time of my life.

[MSMS3]

Still have my '08 MS3 and love it. I am its original owner. Still drive it regularly as my rip roaring fun car.

I recently bought a new '17 Audi Q5 3.0T SUV. That is the 277 hp supercharged V6. The itch to mod is ready there. I purchased a tuning program for at home reflash of the ECU with stock, 91 and 93 octane maps. Its from European Performance Lab (EPL), a US tuner somewhat like Cobb. Their Stage 1 93 octane tune is 345-355 hp. Its pretty quick for a 4400 lb. SUV.

Its already quicker than my MS3 was stock, but behind it as currently modded. A stage 2 tune uses a smaller supercharger pulley or larger crank pulley to spin the blower faster. I'll make that jump soon.

Mid 13's now on 93 octane map, otherwise stock. Fantastic launch. All wheel drive, like MS6. Even factory tune has launch control. Stage 2 Q5s drop into the 12s.

On the lighter S4 platform this engine in stage 2 dual pulley, runs mid 11s at 125 with ethanol blend or race gas tunes (yes,they have those maps and can develop custom tunes for dual pulley set ups). No internal mods needed. Eventually you need additional cooling capacity if running dual pulley tunes. Amazing response to tuning for a stock engine. I look to see someone get a tuned S4 with larger capacity charge cooling into the 10s on a stock block and intake, with higher flow exhaust (bigger downpipes and x pipe crossover) and upgraded fueling. The stock block internals and the ZF 8 speed auto can handle the power.

I'll be happy to get it to mid 12s. Its not a racecar. Its a conservative, well-appointed SUV that responds well to tuning.

Who says you outgrow the need for speed? I'm 67 years old.

Mid 12 Suburban,.........

my how things have changed since we were little........

Had a 2012 MS3 and found a good deal on a 2014 Taco and traded the Mazda. Regretted it immediately and six months later I bought a 2013 MS3 out of Flagstaff AZ and got rid of the Taco. Won't make that mistake again.

[Shampu]

2001 Corolla. But i still have my MS3 just retired it from daily driver duty.

[Rich990]

Sold my 6 MPS and picked up a proper econobox - a Renault Duster. 1.5 liters of diesel fury. Pushing out a magnificent 110hp.

At least it's all wheel drive / 4x4 haha.

After having all three models of MPS you go and do that. Much disappoint!

[KiwiFlavor]

I DD both my 2012 speed3 and a 2016 Civic. I have been eyeing 335i and 135i's.. One of these days.. one of these days..

Got rid of my ms3 and supra for a z06

Not yet, but once I get my daughter thru college either a Charger Scat Pack or Hellcat.

[PlatinumCore16]

I don't see myself ever moving on from my MS3, unless it completely shits the bed and I don't have the money to rebuild it. Honestly I've always wanted an RX8 (like since I was 13) and I only went with the speed due to better fuel economy (my other vehicle is a truck). Might still add an RX8 in the future, but I will drive the speed til it dies.

Traded the 6 in on a 2013 wrx. I am terribly disappointed. Even modded and protuned it's slow. Handling sucks, brakes suck, trans sucks and is weak, AWD is useless due to open diffs(wheelspin). Stereo is also garbage. Online community is weak. I may be happier with an STI, but I can't afford a decent one.
It does, however, run good every day and I don't have an ever growing list of work I need to do to it to keep it going. Parts are easy to find as well.
I knew the 6 would get the best of me one day. I just didn't realize how much I'd miss it.

[kenny7821]

In process of rebuilding the speed, so I picked my self up a bimmer for a daily. Forgot how much it costs for pretty much anything with these things...BMW=Bring Money With
