Except you can't plate an R32 Golf in Ontario... And from what I remember, they were almost $40k usd brand new.

Interior gets annoying after a while. The only positives were good suspension, good brakes, and a comfortable driving position.

2 Major negatives for me are: 1. It doesnt float. 2. Lug nuts dont like to hold on.

For $38k i would rather drive something from a german automaker with a little less power.


Plus, like NeonSRT said.. Who the hell decided to make this a fwd car? What use is that.. it behaves exactly like a VW trying to hook up off the line.

lol wow

don't listen to guess. he doesn't actually know. if he knew anything about mazda, he'd know the things he said were good about the car are actually the exact 3 things mazda has trouble with, at least in fwd cars. lol

i'm sorry, i'm just mocking my car.

You always seem to raise good points, however once again personal opinions will always clash as personally I'd rather shove pinapples up my ass before buying another low end German car. and don't even argue that $38,000 can get You something from germany that isn't low end.

Heres my Personal opinion:
Under $50,000 brand new, Japanese car or american truck/SUV
Over $50,000 Brand new, American sports car, american truck/SUV
Over $65,000 German luxury.
Over $100,000 well im sure we could come up with quite a few good choices.

Honestly you have a lot of choices. What do you want in the car?

The MS3 is a great car. Room of the hatch, and a nice overall ride/performance blend.

Definitly a rarer car. If you want to mod, you also have a few options its not as hard as made out to be.

It all boils down to what car you want, don't rule out the new Cobalt SS.

^^^lol, wow, way to bump an really old thread.
