As a tow truck driver, I totally agree.

I tow more new cars for stupid bullshit than I tow older cars for actual breakdowns.

Like a brand new 2015 Dodge RAM that won't shift out of park, the knob worked, light on the knob said D, but the dash said P... and it was actually in park.

The fact you have to replace the whole abs unit is killer. The labor is huge because you have to get like 8 hard lines to thread in properly into a big unit in a tight space.

Just buy a cheap shitbox to run around in for the first year. No point in spending anything over £700 as it'd cost about £1k to insure, no matter what you drive. Look on Autotrader and it's stuffed with shitboxes in that price range.
Get a years no claims, then consider buying a decent motor.

what if some philanthropist were to make an LLC and design a car that can be bought for cheap that doesn't suck

>>13880222
A drift kiddie would get in a wreck and sue the pants off the LLC, leading to the sale of the lot.

You're asking the wrong people.
/o/ hates speed3s for no real reason. Go read through forums and ask there.
I personally love them and have driven two of them at autox. I know several people that own them and none have reported issues.

>which had FOUR owners already.

Christ, stay away. If there wasn't something wrong after the 1st or 2nd, the 3rd or 4th would surely have hammered it to shit.

There is one major known issue in the 2.3L MZR I4 DISI, and it relates to throwing rods.

There were some reports of owners having thrown rods under severe load. However, 99% of these cases appeared to be owner neglect and stupidity (i.e. redlining the fucking car and running it in mid gear at full boost non-stop all fucking day long every day forever). I recall one faggot figured he could go 10,000km between oil changes because "muh synthetic". He was also the kind of dipshit to run the engine really hot, ended up burning off too much of his precious Royal Purple, grenaded the fucking engine.

If you can find one that's had 1 or MAYBE 2 owners max, you should be OK.

Don't ever buy one without a carfax/carproof, and get MAINTENANCE RECORDS. A good owner keeps these, a stupid driveway swaggot doesn't. Likely because it hasn't been serviced, or his stance buddies did the services. Either way it's bad news.

They are good cars and the MZR engines are known for being very solid engines. Do keep in mind that it's also running under boost, so don't expect to get 250,000km out of the engine. A NA MZR I4 would do that without issue, but turbos inflict more hurt on an engine.

Also, check the car for rust. Earlier gen Mazda3's and Speed3's were notorious rust magnets, especially around the wheel wells and rear lights. Check underneath for rust and rot too.

Only other common issue, which is fairly simple to remedy, is the rear engine mount. The stock one tends to wear out on a lot of them, so everyone just replaces them with the Corksport polymer insert. They say it's a lot better too, reduces shudder and makes the throttle feel firmer.

I have to drive it first, but my first impression from reviews is that it's actually pretty good. At the very least it BTFOs the STi. The only other real competitor IMO is the Golf R/S3.

If I can watch videos of Ken Block hooning it with a big smile on his face, it has my support and wants.

theres so many fucking ford shills on this board. No other company has constant threads on new cars that look like the standard "press photo + attractive features + what do you fellow 4channers think :)". How many "WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK OF THE NEW MUSTANG/FIESTA/FOCUS" threads are we gonna see god damn.
