Mazda 3 is a very sweet car! Saw one in a charcoal color and my hear stopped, it is a very nice looking car. Mazda has really stepped up to the plate with their cars...if I didn't have the Vibe I would consider the Mazda 3 ( or even the 6 )

I actually just traded in my Vibe as stated in the other thread on a Mazda. I looked at the 3, but the dealer had 3 Mazdaspeeds sitting on the lot and the price was right. This spring I will be purchasing the 3 for my finacee since it was a really nice car and from my experience more pleasing than my Vibe.

The car is rated at 170hp and 165tq, but with a turbo that can flucuate, plus I can add a boost controller and up it. I have seen dynos showing 220whp when raising the boost and a turbo back exhaust, I won't raise it that high since I want it to last. The odd thing is, this car feels so much quicker than the Vibe and low 15's are obtainable, but I guess that comes from the torque and gearing.

Some B*tch got one for her birthday and totaled it about a week ago...very nice charcol gray with gun metal wheels. I don't see how someone would be that bad of a driver to where they crash their BRAND NEW CAR in less than 2 weeks...it was her fault byt he way...

I sat in one last night at the NAIAS. I thought that it compared very nicely to the Vibe. I did not see how much it was. If anybody is attending the show, they may want to specifically check it out. It is quite close to the Vibe.
