Enjoy your shit build quality

>>16869286
Why get a mazda3 when you can get a mazda6 for similar price or a speed6 for a few grand more?

>>16870006
Because the 3 is smoler and lighter.

Post hot rod with shit tier tires, whine about jap cars... what the fuck am I missing here?

I drive a 2006 m3GT with 200k, stop being a pleb and do your own research... basic fucking knowledge like rust and bearings will tell you if it's a good buy, Morty!

>>16871176
good news then the 6 isn't turbo

>>16871194
Buhler buhl buy buh Rick! Those resale values and shit. I want a car that runs and drives, you know?

>>16871447
MORTY! Those diplomats want you to think a Mazda 3 is shit tier, when in reality... buuuuurrrp it's more like a compromise. As long as you fondle that metal Morty, fondle it waaaaaaaaaaaay up your assistance you'll have a good m3, Morty! Trust me.


I've manhandled waaaaaaaaaaaay too many mazda 3's to be coming to They're defence MORTY!

i'm just looking for some more opinions, not the final decision.

Buy the gen 2 at least, or a gen1 speed.

or a speed6 :), gen2 3s is 100x better than the gen1's

>>16871756
I didn't say speed 6 you retard, and the other guy mentioned the regular 6 as well as the speed 6
