the mazdaspeed sector of the company isn't exactly a huge cash cow. remember only about %5 of car owners even think about tuning their cars.When you turn your car on... does it return the favor?

With much too much boost,
And drove a rod through his block.

with exception for the RX7, mazda has not been able to produce a highly tunable car, even the miata has it's limitations because thy are light weight already, however i think that the reason why there's not much aftermarket for mazda could be because they share platforms and certain engines with ford and these engines are already high compression i think this is why,
go ahead and correct if im wrong,_____________________________________________

Less than 10:1 isn't really "high compression." These engines don't require higher than 87 octane gasoline.
I'd love to see that AWD version of the Mazda3

I'm not sure if the guy at the dealership knew what he was talking about, but as a matter of fact, the MX-5 mazdaspeed (or miata for those of you who don't know...) is to be the last of the speeds...
sucks.
the 3 is way nicer than the pro... ah well, will have to mod it the sleeper way... that is, the best way...
