Hey everyone! My name is Ryan, I purchased my 05 SP23 Hatch two years ago. I had been eyeing the 3 for a while and after sitting in one at the Denver auto show I scheduled a test drive and ended up driving it home the next day. I have put nearly 70,000 miles on my car in 2 years and it has been absolutely problem free and I am still loving it as much as the day I bought it!

EDIT: See last post for an update :D

Yea.. I think it actually topped at about 155, just in case you are curious, but it was hardly worth arguing 5 mph at that point

That Sucks.
I can't say I've been that fast. The fastest I can say is about 135 on I-70 racing a Porche GT3 in my 83 rx-7.
