sold 06 stage 2 rex for this

Got a 2008 mazda speed3..

This car is just amazing.. I got the sport pkg. Did not need nav or bose.. $21,700+tax..

This car is just superb for the moneye you pay.. The best thing about this car is the handeling. The steering is very responsive and the brakes are awsome. The power is better than my stg 2 06 rex. very nice interior. I should of bought this car before. My rex had whiteline sway bars front and back. Swift spring, f1 tires, steering rack bushing and other **** that i put on the car. this mazda does not need anything. Please dont hate i still love subaru but this mazda is a much much better car. If anyone is looking to buy a new car go to mazda and test drive one of them. They are only making 5000. 2007 and 2008 thats it.

i believe they share the same motor as the speed6 just doesnt' have the AWD. So there is plenty of power stock. Not saying its a bad car but I wouldn't get one. Now if they threw in the split torque awd in their 3s then maybe...

i test drove the speed3 before i bought my 08 wrx. haha key there is before i bought my wrx haha. The speed3 just didnt seem fast like the subi. like you can feel the G's pushing against you when you press the gas. but to each there own.

Nice. I looked at those too, but I ended up with an 07 Si. No regrets so far.

i think i should test drive a MS3.

it handles good, and got some power, but i still think over all suby is better. like not because we are on i-club. but awd, and the boxer, the look. i just like it better lol

MS3 is a superb car for the price. You don't really feel the thrust like in my stg2, because it delivers the power so smoothly. It handles very well, and the interior is very comfortable. And the seats are pretty damn comfortable.

I sat in one last week. The interior was pretty nice and I agree that the seats were very comfortable. It looks good overall and for some reason rocks a top mount intercooler. You can't beat that price either.

I probably might have test driven one if I didn't already have my heart set on another car.
