lower a Toyota Venza.


I don't like the wheels or anything,just showing how it looks lowered.

That looks good, actually. Too bad they're slow ass turds. :/

Pricey too, for a wagon. Mid 30's I think.

They classify it as a crossover, instead of a wagon. The thing is a wagon, I don't care what they want to call it.

I drove a Mazdaspeed 3, a regular 5dr hatch and a Ford Focus. We are in the market to replace my gas hog 2002 F150 Supercrew 4x4 and the regular hatch and the focus get 28/40 mpg. The speed gets only 18/25 and even though it is a quick corner hugger I am not sure the mpg's are enough to justify the purchase.

Now if I can find a Graphite Mica Mazda 3 5dr in the Touring under $19,500 I am sold.

And what the hell is with Mazdas asking and sticking to MSRP sticker price?

edit: this is just a sexy bitch and too fucking fun to drive. By accident I was doing 100mph on 121 during the test drive....oops

How's about a Saab 9-5 wagon?

Not the Speed that I wanted but the Mazda3 with the Skyactiv 2.0 that I needed.

I try to be a responsible adult, save money, stay out of trouble, not be wasteful, etc.

But there is no way in HELL I would buy that car if it wasn't a Speed3

you are a better man than I

I needed a daily that got better gas mileage since I am no longer going back to Afghanistan but instead staying here in the dfw area to work. For what the truck would have cost me in gas, a month I can afford to pay for this car instead. I really wanted the Speed3 but my voice of reason (my wife) reminded me I have a '95 Cobra with a Dart 347, Viper 6spd, full MM suspension, 76mm turbo, coil on plug ignition, E85, etc., etc., with a convetible top and LNIB interior/exterior that I need to finish if I want to feed the urge.

This car gets stupid good gas mileage. I put 100 miles on it yesterday and plan on doing some more hwy driving today. Based on my rough calculations and the car's info center, I am getting an average of 35 hwy/city. Besides, I have already started to look at the Speed3 suspension parts and wheels online.

You know that wagon he bought has a diesel in it, right?

Nope. 2.0L gas motor that gets 40mpg on the highway and is not a hybrid.

Wat. What the fuck is skyactiv, then? I thought that was the name for their diesel engine!?!?!? Anyway, they are supposed to be releasing a diesel mazda 3 in the states next year.

It is too long to post in this thread. They have diesel 3's in Europe already. Hopefully the US will get them too.
