clASSified of the Weak: Spoiler Alert

Updated: Nov 25, 2019


S: We love the Mazda 3. Our intrepid photographer Kevin even owned one for years before replacing it with a Golf GTI. So naturally, a low mileage, 6-speed example caught our eye. Even if it was just outside of Phoenix, Arizona. I like to window shop. Sue me.

The text in the ad, which you can peruse yourself below, is pretty straightforward, save for one critical line at the very end. The "Ultra Rare" OEM spoiler, which somehow *ADDS* 20 horsepower on a dyno test. Who knew Mazda was able to somehow convert the obviously-turbulent air conditions in a dynamometer testing chamber directly into horsepower! A marvel of engineering. It's a shame other auto manufacturers didn't follow Mazda's sheer genius. But to the seller's credit, your results will vary. Maybe the dyno machine they tested on took a few too many love taps...
