GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

I was driving around looking at the Mazda Dealership lot checking out the new Mazda 3 sport gt& the Mazda speed both great looking cars" there are so many standard equipment on these two cars it"unbelieveable i"m thinking about selling my vibe and trying out one of the two. Has anyone checked these cars out?

I am making a point in checking out some of the Mazdas... I am slowly getting that want a new car itch again

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.

Bro can you post some pics of your car when you get a chance?Thanks!

Thanks Nick I was unaware that the pics were already posted It is a very nice blue!

Nice choice in color what"s the horsepower rating? i saw a couple on a Mazda lot going for 25k+ from what i"ve seen on the car it looks awesome and talk about the stereo system in this car" 450 watts

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.
