    1) 2010 MS3 Silver Original owner
    2) 363K miles (commuter car since day one)
    3) orginal engine blew out at 300k. Installed a junk yard engine with 83k miles on it . Put 63k miles on the 2nd engine with no isues so far.
    4) I still use this car for my daily drive -- 150 miles round trip commute.

    I get around 26 mpg and love when Hondas think they can push me around. I bought a new Ford Focus RS back in 2017 to replaced the Mazda but the RS has such a small gas tank plus I didn't want to rack up the miles on it. It's for sales if anybody is interested! But not my Mazdaspeed 3! I hope to get to 500k in a few years. I use Kirkland 5-30 synthetic oil. repalce it every 5000 to 6000 miles.

    That is some truly amazing shit. Still the original trans? You modded/tuned? I should just sell my CX-30 and daily my Speed if I can keep driving the thing for eternity. I do worry about eventual parts availability, though.

    @jl449, that is incredible! Takes dedication to stay with a vehicle so long.

    How has the rest of the car held up?

    2) 138,XXX
    3) 130 miles on SP63 stage 2 long block
    4) Not at the moment, working out the kinks with the new setup. Afterwards will be my daily, until I get something new... not getting rid of the speed.
