I recently traded in my 850R for a Mazdaspeed 3... I mean, at least we are still cousins right? I just wanted to thank all of you who have helped me with maintenance and repair issues over the last 4 of my 850's golden years. If any of you are in the Houston area and want to go for a drive sometime that would be sweet!

ps. When I am rich an famous I vow to buy another 850R and put it on display for the word to see how cool of an older cousin it really was to the Mazdaspeed3.

 

FYI...I believe the mazdaspeed3 uses a volvo c30/s40 chassie, or supsension, or both.

 

Yes, I believe they did share the same platform. Good news cause my brother has an S40!
