It’s not silver! It’s Galaxy Gray Metallic!

Already have the fabric and thread for a new shift boot and still looking for a knob.

Microsuede is Alacantara. Suck it Ferrari. Silver thread. Looking for a plain silver ball shifter with navy/dark blue numerals.

Also 28.1 mpgs highway and 26.1 mixed. Tasty.

Congrats!

I got a pool ball-style shift knob for my 3 from Sickspeed on eBay. The shift pattern wasn’t quite engraved properly, but the thing is wonderfully comfortable. Would definitely recommend.

Well done. Now to scour CL for a lightly used MS3 drivetrain to plop into this. Hahahaha, like you'll ever find that. Hey, why is that Impala staring at you?

Can’t ask much more from a commuter than this can deliver.

How dare you buy something practical that isn’t a wagon!

I think I speak for everyone here when I say

DROP THE BAN HAMMER!

The last thing we need on here is more people happy with their vehicles!

I read the C&D “boss wagon” articles about that swap and wiring nightmare. No thanks.

Now MS3 front brakes and sway bars on the other hand...

But unhappy Oppos making poor purchasing decisions are what get me through the day!

I had that exact combo. It isn’t a 2008, is it?

We also have people who make poor decisions AND are happy! We have it all on Oppo!

Got a 06 Mazda3 hatch, love the car, but now a little one on the way. Looking at the Mazda5. Congrats but BEWARE of that 2.3, keep a close eye on the oil level. At 78xxx miles i ended stuffing a 2.5 from a Fusion.
