Replying to: aviboy97 (Aug 31, 2006 1:09 pm) "I have read the Mazda site, I did not see what he saw. Maybe i will comb through it again..."   I found it.   Kinda funny (but I'll bet it's a glitch).   Go to the Mazdaspeed3 'wild child' page.   On the left hand side (under shopping tools) select "Build a Mazdaspeed3".   Select the trim (sport or Grand Touring), color, and then options until you get to the last page ("Summary").   On the left hand side you'll see "print window sticker". Select that.   A little window pops up with 'your' Mazdaspeed3 window sticker showing trim/colors/yada yada yada.   ON THAT WINDOW STICKER, under "engine" it says "274hp"   It also lists the mileage as 20/26 on that 'window sticker' which doesn't agree with the 20/28 number listed elsewhere. I think all that was found was a typo. BFD.   Like it really REALLY matters whether it is 'rated' at 274hp or 263hp. It is what it is. I don't know too many people saying "gee, I'd buy one if it only had 274hp instead of 263hp". Replies to this message: dc_driver (Sep 01, 2006 5:53 am) rorr (Sep 01, 2006 8:03 am)

Replying to: dc_driver (Sep 01, 2006 5:53 am) "I totally agree with you, but Mazda has misstated HP numbers in the past and got a black eye for it."   Then perhaps they should rate it conservatively and not get into a numbers game.
#51 of 63 Car and Driver by aviboy97 Sep 02, 2006 (5:47 am)
The current Car and Driver has driven the Mazdaspeed3 to a speedy 5.3 0-60 time! So much for all that talk about the car doing 6.0 0-60!

Replying to: mpg60 (Aug 31, 2006 5:10 am) Just FYI: I sent a complaint through the website yesterday and they responded early afternoon. They said the correction would happen ASAP. Since it has not happened yet, I guess it will occur next week.
#53 of 63 NO sunroof option?!?? by dairyshick Sep 03, 2006 (8:14 am)
I found it pretty odd that neither trim of the MS3 offers a sunroof as an option? What's up with that? Replies to this message: aviboy97 (Sep 04, 2006 10:54 am) rorr (Sep 05, 2006 8:15 am)

Replying to: dairyshick (Sep 03, 2006 8:14 am) Possibly because the frame has been stiffened for better handling, making it not possible for a moon roof.   The early WRX's never had a moon roof either, for that reason.
