I had this screen name since 1994. Who are stallionare's? I never heard of them. Is that a music group?
 
Woman called me back in the day, "stallion man" for a good reason and Re is my last name. Stallionre is what I am.

3 is the best looking compact, IMO by steve333

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'.

ah ok. This is really silly, but i was hooked on the vh1 'i love new york show' and this one contestant named chance was in a rap group called 'the stallionaire's', and everytime someone would piss him off, he said he was going to give it to them 'stallionaire style.'
 
I just thought that was hilarious and you kinda remind me of it!

Price point Cross over into Mid-Size by steevo

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.

when i bought my civic, dealers had lots of accords in stock, but they were usually deckded out ex-l's (which were around 25k) and th ev-6's were approching 31k.
 
The civic was a bit better for me at a meager 19k.
 
I know that the gti can get pricey, but since i would opt for a four door with a limited amount of options like the dsg and maybe some floor mats, i'd be in the 23-24500 price range, which yes is about the same as an ex-l, but the gti is a bit faster, plus i don't have to worry about passing myself everytime i drive anywhere. (i like the accord a lot, but this is its only drawback imho.)

Timing Chain by sandman46

The new Civic has a timing chain now instead of a timing belt. Much better design.

I guess if you like the ricey lights on the 3 go for it. Nothing says "kiddie car" than those cheesey taillights. Plus the interior is plain, tacky, el-cheapo stuff. a Japanese Ford for sure.
