Why tune a car that has a FWD and 260 HP under the hood? The answer is simple: because you can;)
So, after reading several reviews and consultation with colleagues, I decided to buy AccessPORT from COBB Tuning. COBB company is well known especially in the U.S. market, because sells hardware and software to improve performance of some Japanese and German car brands put on the U.S. market.
Mazdaspeed3 is a hot-hatch, so you should not expect low fuel consumption. On the highway, with cruise control, I lowered fuel consumption to 9.5 l/100km (25 mpg). In the city my Mazdaspeed3 consumes about 13 l/100km (18 mpg). Now someone will say: "phi, my diesel consumes 4.5 (52 mpg) on highway and 7 (33 mpg) in the city". OK, feel free, but remember one thing: hot-hatch is not for cost-effectivity! ;)
I have a habit, which I use also for motorcycles, that soon after buying I change motor oil and filters. I think it is good practice because you never know if seller done this when he/she intends to sell a car. So if I do not have a clear confirmation in the form of a bill, I usually do not believe the assurances of the seller and will do a "new opening" that is, replace fluids and filters. I did it a few days after the purchase of Mazda.
Shortly after I settled the formalities associated with buying a Mazda, I went to my hometown to register it, and buy insurance. I do not treat a test drive as first, because Mazdaspeed3 was not mine yet, and I had a short time and limited opportunities to become acquainted with it. So I filled up the tank, warmed up the engine well and I drove politely in the right direction. There was no time to read the documentation, so slowly discovering options for on-board computer, radio, cruise control, etc.
In February 2011 I bought used Audi A3 Sportback quattro, 2.0 TDI, 140 HP. I drove this car for 4 months until it was stolen. I waited 3 months for the payment of compensation from insurance company, and then I began searching for Audi A3 or A4 with quattro of course. But Polish market is very specific, there are many offers where used cars are imported from abroad, and many of them are after crash. It is hard to find a good car, because seller always said, that his/her vehicle is in very good condition, did not have any accidents and so on.
