So we traded in our car yesterday

[Unoriginalusername]

So wife and I got a little concerned of reading about transmission issues and oil burning problems... that along with the fact we are expecting a new addition to our family in the summer we've traded in the car and got this:

Looks like the GT package, I had one as a loaner when my car was in last. It was odd but fun going around town with the triptronic in a van.

Ya we got the GT, nice that it has a sunroof... i had always wished the speed3 came with that when we got it last year. oh well, we've got a sunroof now :chuckle

damn you! got me going there for a bit.... traded in YOUR car....

You going to throw in a CAI and some Pro-kits? What about HIDs...:chuckle

Nice van, although I found the centre console colour sticks out quite a bit.

Steelies FTW

I had some warranty issues with the last car because of non-oem mods so i think i'll leave it for now :)

I am 6'4 and fit fine... what are you talking about? Ton more space then what the speed3 has

Really? The '07 definitely doesn't have enough space for that. If you got an '08, maybe they changed something.

Yeah my pops got the Mazda 5. I'm 5'10" and no issues. Unoriginalusername is way taller, but I don't see it being a problem for him as he stated.

[Garu]

Huh I don't get it. You got rid of the speed?

[MPS]

yep thats what happens when you have kids
you have to give up ur toys :complain

It's an 07 with the sunroof (which should take up more headroom space)...

Congrats on the new additions to the family:)

[stevenlung]

????? traded your Speed for a 5 but still want the AP?????

[S.F.W.]

almost believable that he gave up his Speed 3. Almost...

[dentinger]

yea....something seems fishy here.......
something tells me the car you traded in wasnt your speed3....

[dentinger]

AH HA!!!

i see wat you did there!!

the car is in the shop, and this is your rental car!!!

[WhiteSpeed3]

his car is parked nice and clean for the winter he traded in something else

[JashiK]

my theory is...
"we are expecting a new addition to our family in the summer we've traded in the car and got this"

= got rid of the 2007 speed 3 and in the summer we're gettin' the 2008.5 speed 3, so temp car is this Mazda 5.

BOoyah! lol

07 and 08 Mazda 5 are the same thing...

minor changes only from what i can see from the mazda website.

[monty0501]

Hmmm
Do rentals come with steelies? Its too late to be thinking about this hheheh

[RX9]

he won't do that. no way. almost got me,tho.

[Unoriginalusername]

Woa guys... what is with all this speed getting traded talk lol? My wifes saturn burns oil and has tranny problems so now its gone :) Speed3 is parked safe and sound

[REZXPERT]

cuz you'd still be on the hook for the Cobb AP & SRI!

prediction: Speed5 by the summer.

[JashiK]

so my theory wasn't right. LOL
