the only thing i didn't like about the 3 is that it has less room in the back seat than my civic does.

 

why is that??? a mazda 3 is nowhere near an sti. if anything the base wrx has become more affordable now since the STi cause they have great low financing deals like 1.9% for 63 mo. right now and plenty of dealer stock which gives you room to make a deal making it an even better buy.

 

see, i'm not comparing the wrx to the 3 like you. i'm saying, if i were to get a wrx, it would be the STi. that's the only wrx i'd want. and when i built my base wrx in their site, it still came out to almost 30k. i'm just picky and wants lots of options.

 

damn i guess, you must have bought all the subaru performance stuff. i just want a base with no wing, the body colored side skirts, center armrest, and floor mats. i really want the moonroof, but i can't justify the 1,500 cost since you have to buy the premium pkg. mine i should be able to get for about $24,000.

 

I think the Mazda 6 is a really nice vehicle, but I've never been in one.

 

i like the 6, but i love the 3.

 

What does the 3 do 0-60 and 1/4 in?

the 6 does 0-60 in 6.8 and 1/4 in 15.4 @ 93 mph, so im presuming the 3 cant be that fast

 

i've read different times, but car & driver says 0-60 in 7.4, 1/4 in 16 @ 87

 

The 3 is one very attractive car. But I just don't like tall cars that much. And people say the Si looks like a mini van, at teh local Mazda dealer they had teh 5door 3 next to teh Mazda mini vans and they were like, identical, only the 3 is a bit smaller. :a:

 

:bigok: I'm really loving the new Mazda's over the past couple years...
