Replying to: eldaino (Apr 11, 2007 9:12 am) Please don't get wrong, let me say, When I said "fall apart", I meant the sound of it that the suspension makes when I drove it. I just am hard pressed about VW because I got a lemon and no one seemed to care about that. The service at the VW was the worst ever!! They lied to me many times and made me pay for a labor charge on a recall. Now that stinks and hurts!! No matter what car and driver say's, if you want the car, then you will buy it. I didn't buy the Mazda M3S GT because what c/d said. I bought it for the features, feel, quality and look. Simple as that.

The 3 is the best looking compact car on the market in my opinion. It looks expensive, sleek, and powerful. Its even better looking than my white Cobalt Sedan, which I lovingly named 'Honky'. |

Did any of you consider moving up in size class before you bought your Mazda 3 or Civic? I am considering these cars and am looking at "loaded" models like the Mazda 3GT 5-door. But It seems that 4 cylinder Accords,Camrys,(maybe even solaras) are selling in these price ranges. Even Honda Accord Coupe LX V6 is less than 23,000 at most dealers. No Leather, but still has nice features like in dash 6cd, 244HP, etc.. If you were tempted, but still ended up with one of these Compacts like the M3GT, CIvic, or GTI, please let me know your thoughts.. I am leaning most towards the Mazda 3 GT 5-door for more utility over the Civic, but am thinking that a Accord/Camry type car in a sport model might offer more bang for the buck.

I was in the same boat and actually wound up with an Accord SE manual. Actually quite a bit cheaper than the 3GT. $18,600 for me (including destination) I actualy got a quote for $17990 after I bought, but it was 400 miles away. The Accord is definately larger and smoother - the M3 handles better and is more tossable, but the Accord handles well too. The Mazda also has more options. I was also looking at the EX-L Accord for $21,200 (including destination). BTW. The 4 cyl Accord is a tad quicker than the M3, so no need to go for the V-6.
