Pros: Acceleration, handling, price, unusually livable for an ultra-high-performance hatch
Cons: Too much like a regular car?
The Bottom Line: Excellent bang for the buck, but with a surprisingly refined bang. Possibly too livable for its own good.
When I test drove the Subaru WRX STI, I found the ride quality unlivable. When I test drove the Dodge Neon SRT4, I found the exhaust "pop pop pop" while engine braking far too obnoxious, and inappropriate for those of us over 30. Ditto the rear wings ...

Pros: Powerful, predictable handling, spacious
Cons: Mediocre stereo offering, understeer tendency
The Bottom Line: Best value compared to GTI and Civic Si.
Fastest Hatchback I have taken up a new job that requires me to drive 60 miles round trip in Chicago and burb's traffic-infested motorways. Take into account the nasty winters we have, and I'm not so sure my highly modified 2000 Nissan Sentra SE would ...

Pros: Power, standard features, handling.
Cons: Fuel economy.
The Bottom Line: I definitely recommend the MazdaSpeed3 Grand Touring.
I must admit I had not even considered buying a Mazda until a friend told me about the Mazdaspeed3 (MS3). I figured with the numbers it was posting, I could at least take a look at one. I have driven the VW GTI, Civic Si, and Subaru WRX (not STI). ...

Pros: Fast, Fun, Practical, an awesome car at a bargain price.
Cons: Rubbery shifter. Cheap vinyl on sunvisors. Requires premium gas.
The Bottom Line: Fantastic performance without a painful ride, quietly looking like a mundane hatchback makes this an awesome sleeper, and great on highway runs.
I came up behind the Evo at a stoplight. When it went green he punched it, blasting away from the line of SUVs and Minivans in the left lane. I followed, keeping up, not racing, just enjoying the rush of acceleration. We held a just-slightly illegal ...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes
Pros: Cheap speed, a lot of options, good MPG, awesome handling
Cons: Cheap speed, FWD torque steer, crappy gauges,
The Bottom Line: MS3 is for the budget minded small family sports car buyer or young enthusiast. Standard warranty 5 yrs. Hatchback for groceries. 4door. under $24K. Fast car but wife approved.
This review is about an MS3 w/ the GT package I bought about 2 months and 3000 miles ago. I will try to contrast both the performance and practicality of this vehicle. I purchased this vehicle because as a sport compact enthusiast I understand the ...

Pros: tons of power. Pulls hard 1-6 gears.
Cons: none. I like the sleeper look:)
The Bottom Line: Best bang for the buck. Fast and family friendly! What a great combo for the Anti mini van dad's out there.
I was not initally a mazda guy. My last car was a nissan altima se-r. I loved that car. I did all my research for the mazda online reading reviews etc. Read the reviews on car and driver. Did all the pricing on-line getting quotes from many local ...
