i can see myself driving that over the GTI any day..

is there any chance on picking up one around the summer time for 20k or less?

Have fun with the torque steer on the Speed 3.

I LOVE the new MKV GTIs, I know I only test drove two of em, but it was a sweet ride for those 30 minutes or so.

If you're looking at Mazdas, honestly the Speed 6 is what I'd get.

It's a tad bit slower than the Speed 3, the 6 has more power, but the drive train loss from the AWD system makes the difference.

I've been looking for a new car for some time now, and mainly been back and forth between the new GTI and a Speed 6. Both have their ups and downs, but I find it hard to overlook the interior build quality that the GTI offers you. Take a new GTI out for a spin, it's not the worlds fastest car but it's great all around IMO.

Watch this video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=nZTHuuBO9JI for some info on it. Generally the guys over on Top Gear frown upon anything VW/Audi, but he really enjoyed this car.

How about an RX-8?
I too was looking at the SE-R but I've heard mixed things about the car. Overpowered and under tuned basically. It's fun for straight line speed, but the suspension and ****** make it "not so good" in the cornering and being nimble.

Whoever told you that is ****ing retarded. God **** autistic kids running around talking shit about other people's cars... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/furious.gif.fc81ca146dbff91fede3ed290dbc4f4c.gif

AFAIK, it was a limited production for the 06 and 07 model years. But, doing a search on autotrader yields quite a few results, mostly between 18-22k for lightly used cars.
