Oh really!? I had no idea Mazda was implementing an AWD system in the 3. I wonder if it comes with a manual. That could be a game-changer.

No stick with AWD or Turbo. You can get the 3 with fwd manual in the Premium trim. Wish the turbo awd was available with a manual since I now work for Mazda and could get one as a lease car. Oh well a Miata should do nicely.

Just add (bigger) turbo to the manual. Problem solved

I am, contemplating supercharging or turbo for my Miata down the road. I already have an exhaust for it, but it sits in storage because I'm lazy (and have no idea what I'm doing).

K series swap if it is a NA or NB.

I am looking forward to having an ND2. I have come so close to buying a Miata so many times. My wife is driving a CX9. A three row SUV should not hustle down twisty roads as well as that thing does.

You know there’s people for that

I know. But I would have to drive the exhaust to the shop in another vehicle, drive back, then drive the Miata there to have it installed, then drive back, and do it over if I want to keep the stock (which I do).... Just a pain, and very low on my priority.

Or I could try to do it myself... I have read you don't really need ramps to do it. But I know myself... halfway through there would be some little thing that would make me wish I had just brought it in somewhere.

Mine is a 2018 ND, and yeah I just got the Turbo AWD CX5 and it zips.

No, haven't. Thanks.

This is kind of where I got the Miata inspiration... These mods not street legal in the US that lest time I checked. But the sound of this car is spot on. For less money a supercharger or turbo could get me there, but I love the idea to keep it NA but bringing on the power with intake, cams, and a tune.

Na is bettee ideally. Unless it's the new 9.4 litre camera that embarrassingly only makes 430bhp. Wonder what that feels like to launch compared to, say, my car.
