vs. Mazdaspeed3?
Saw the GTI comparison thread so I figured I'd throw up this comparo...
Similar to the GTI/mini/veloster the MS3 is FWD turbo. It's a bit heavier than those cars though... 3300lbs but ~260hp, starts around $25k. I only bring it up because I see quite a lot of mazda3's at track days. Thoughts? |

Want a fast Q car, its a really good choice, but I wouldn't pick it over a BRZ/FRS.

Cheap power with an Accessport, downpipe, intake, FMIC, catback. It's very utilitarian and has good seats.
The FWD limitations are difficult to overlook. It can't put power down for shit in the lower gears. |
