Yeah, it hasn't slowed me down, but I'm sorta in tune with the power band now too.
But, ya know, it's not my job to sell anyone on it... I just love my car.

I loved it when it first came out, i was working at a Mazda dealership at the time.
We put 5k on a "demo" unit... needed new front tires Guess it doesn't limit it that much!

An aftermarket tune will always fix this sort of thing.

I have put the speed3 at the bottom of the list but it's not off the list like some others.

Yeah, I've wondered if it could just be chipped differently, but unfortunately I can't do anything like that for mine.
Lease = no mods

You CAN do mods, just have to pull them or lose them at the end.

There was a guy that put nitrous on a leased Speed6.

He couldn't figure out why we wouldn't warranty his grenaded tranny though!
