Going to look at a 2013 this week. Are there any specific things I should look out for?
 

Any common issues or problems with the car?

Plenty of common issues, all of which are avoidable.

2013 is the most solid year. As long as it was taken care of you should be fine.

2013 mazdaspeed stops accelerating at 15psi
 

Test driving one. It seems like fuel cut or sudden power loss once I hit 15psi no matter what gear. Is this normal?

Stock tune tops out around 15-16psi.

I'd guess there are mods on the car that the stock tune is not accounting for. Is the exhaust pretty loud?

My genpu would spoll to 15 psi real quick and power would fall off around 5000 before a tune. Is that what you felt?

That is the stock tune and k04. It does that.

Look out for French fries between the seat and console. If you find a pickle, run.

Dibs on said pickle.

My genone had corn nuts under the back seat and a small dalek keychain in the center console. The pu came with a revolver holster under the hatch floor.

New cars are boring, never any hidden treasures to find.

There were a few what appeared to be crushed Tums under my rear seat when I pulled it to swap fuel level sensors. I bought the car brand new, 4 miles on the odometer.

salesman probably having heartburn from having to take the test ride with you
