Whats the verdict on these? Thinking of getting one, brand new. Need to crunch some more numbers first.

mazda 3's are nice, but the Mazdaspeed 3 rules, fun car but too much dough for what you get. I would rather get a MazdaSpeed 6 or just a mazda 6

MazdaSpeed 6, boooooo. Pop the hood and try to find the spark plugs. Book time on changing them is roughly 3.5 hours plus $200 + worth of parts. Ya, I'll pass on that one. I haven't looked at the 3's yet.

if u can i would go with the MazdaSpeed. 22 or 23 grand is not to much to pay for what the car can do and what it comes with. nice turbo setup, LSD stock. you will be glad u paid what u did when your passing an srt4 or a ss colbolt or a pos honda

No turbo, Its not for me, its for the woman, we are looking at maybe a 5 door mazda 3 with 5 speed. The middle of the road one we configured was about 20k and she is bitching that is too much for a car. iirc the ms3 was about 25k.

Well then, if thats the case, the 2002 Camrys are smooth riders. And those take less then 2hrs to replace the spark plugs!

No sedan, she wants a hatch, must have 4 doors, 5 speed, leather, and moonroof.

I figure the mazda 3 is the closest thing to the euro focus so....

I dunno, I kinda like them too. If we do it, I think we are getting a blue one.

I just suggested the sedan since you can get them for less, and the look good too

I asked her of she wanted to drive a wagon, she looked at it, got of her ass, looked at it, and then said no. Such a long delay, I think I could make it work :oops:
