The Mazda 3 is an amazing car. The WRX has more potential (and AWD is much better than FWD) but its just so pourly designed. The 3 has soul.
Talking to me? Whats the joke?Lauren said:Major, that's a joke, right?
I have a 2000 BMW 323i manual. I used to have koni adjustables w/ H&R race and 18 inch BBS LM replicas, but she's back to stock now. I will gladly sell her to anyone here, so I can cut my payments.
I just looked at them today! What can you tell me about them? Is it much different than the Protege 5 ? I did like the larger fog lights on the 5... I need standard shift...Lauren said:The Mazda 3 is an amazing car. .... The 3 has soul.
Wow! Thanks for the review! I will look into the 3 further -- especially since gas might reach the $3.00 + a gallon sometime soon... Our Explorer will remain as the boat towing vehicle.Lauren said:I haven't driven a Protege 5 to be able to compare them first hand. I have heard from many people that the Protege was an amazing car, a real good handler. I have also heard some people say the 3 is better. ... ..... .... I would spend the extra few grand on the Mazda 3 myself.
How is it poorly designed? I've seen how its boxer engine works and know now how it helps with the 50/50 front/rear balance... its a pretty smart and efficient design. The suspension and always be replaced and tuned with an aftermarket one in case some people one like it. Its interior isn't filled with too many luxuries since they only cost 19k-32k(give or take a few thousand). My brother is planning to get one(not the STi version, just the standard turbocharged version) and hes getting crazy over it. His friend used to own one... but he crashed it in the montains . I'm not trying to make a big argument, its just that I love the WRX more than the Mazda 3, and I'd rather compare it with the RX-8.Lauren said:The Mazda 3 is an amazing car.
