I am a bit torn between these 3 and am going around to test drive them soon. How are these cars and which model year should I avoid?
>>
>>16967617
Impreza with manual

>>16967617
The focus is just a poorly built mazda 3.
The mazda 3 will be less boring than the civic.

My vote is mazda 3 after havig driven all 3.

>>16967617
Just get a civic for 3k. 2001-05

>>16967624
>non turbo impreza
Slower than all 3 cars listed and worse mpg to boot.

>muh awd
Winter tires.

Also, lolheadgaskets.

>2 jap brands that /o/ goes wet for vs an american brand
good luck getting an unbiased opinion on the focus
>>
>>16967637
The focus is objectively the least reliable and is the most complained about vehicle of 2016.
Only a fool would buy one.

All of the MK3 reliability problems stem from the DCT transmission and complaints about MFT. It's like you're a moron or something.

2017 RS owner checking in. The RS is insane amounts of fun. Numerous car guys that have ridden with me have agreed the car is awesome. The recalls the previous dude is talking about are for literally insignificant shit that you would be fine not even taking it in for. Worth every penny IMO

You're fucking retarded guy, take your own advice and go read how many more TSBs the '16 3 has. And some of the Ford TSBs are listed twice under different categories.

As someone that was a hair drop away from buying the RS, there are issues with the car and its really not worth the out the door cost. If you live in a cold climate especially, drive mode will shut off because the hole that allows for water drainage in the exhaust is drilled too forward. Then there's that extra 3k for the rs2 package unless you want to be completely bundled in your car at all tones. While they say all the RS built after September 2016 have had their head gasket reinforced, it's something that's still highly suspect. That and some poorly noted quality in construction on the RSforums. Their brake cooking system is the same as the 2015 stangs with scoop and brake at the front wheels. Then there's that tiny RDU system with the crushed pipe down below that was not thought through at all. Its a mid line vehicle that doesn't really touch the evo or sti based on what enthusiast want. Its fun to drive as a daily I have no doubt but its a very poorly made enthusiast car especially for the asking price.

>"overheated diff" is the car taking itself out of race mode BEFORE damage is caused. Almost entirely experienced only by people on hot track days.

>"eats" brakes like any high-performance car with performance brakes.

any other bullshit you want to spout?

Go for the Focus; the Civic is badly built, and the Mazda is just going to be a chinese knock-off of the Focus.

Depends on which market you're in, though. US market gets gimped fords because you don't deserve good cars. The rest of the world gets the euro-spec with the toys and the good handling and an engine that doesn't have to deal with fuel adulterated with ethanol.

>ford fags really are this stupid
Ford is still using 10+ year old mazda tech
Ford remanufactured this tech CHEAPER and with LESS quality than mazda.

Youre obviously ignorant.
