Default thinking about buying a mazdaspeed 3, you guys like?

anyone driven one? i havent yet. Wondering if it would be a disappointment after the b6, i mean not in terms of power, but overall qualities. i kinda like the look of it and the price is right...love my car but it needs some work and i dont know if i should drop 3k on her, i also still owe money on it..

Default Zooom Zooom fwd...its a fast car. I followed one the other day and found the acceleration

pretty good...but traction will be the turn off.

Default 2nd, if it was AWD like the MS6, it would be a winner.

They are pretty nice cars, before my A4 I had a 6S.

Default That's a lot of car for the money...

I'd probably give considerations to the GTI as well for essentially the same money.... that said it seems like the Mazdaspeed 3 gives you more for the money.

Default you think it would be insanely bad when driving hard?

i kinda dont mind a little torque steer. but i havent had a front drive car in a while so i dont even remember how bad they are. not really worried about snow, casue it doesnt really snow anymore it seess but i do mind for driving pleasure.
also i bet if you got macked in a 3, espcially T-bone you would be fubar compared to the tank like b6...

Im sure its a fun little car to drive.

Default Not sure about this particular car, but I did have a 214hp Dodge Intrepid back in the day...

torque steer was apparent in that thing. I swore off of fwd vehicles ever since. To me fwd is only acceptable if the car has less than 150hp.
