This year, i will say good bye

Yes, you read wright.

This year i will buy a 2008 mazdaspeed3 (Mazda 3 MPS). I have seen this car on a internetsite and the pirece is also very cheap.

Next week i will drive to the mazda dealer and i will make a test drive.

It is a red demonstration car with 10km on the clock.

If all is ok, i think i have it in May this year.

Itīs not easy to do this, because i like my TS very much and it looks also really hot, but i must trade the TS to have enoughe money for the mazda.

Sometimes i will look to YW. Because i like this car and the people in here so much.

hmmm

The Mazda speed is a nice car. If you dont care for things like reliability, fuel economy... then go for the mazda. It sure will be a huge change going from a 1.8 na to a Turbo 2.3. Insurance should be quite higher also.

However, If i were in Europe there would be other hot hatches I would look over the mazda speed.

Perhaps an S3 or a BMW 123d. But thats me!

Post pics of the new car if you end up buying it.

I'd avoid a demo 'speed. Unless a salesman ALWAYS gets in the car with a test driver, you can bet the living crap has been beaten out of that car for the 10K miles it was "test driven"...

I personally wouldn't ever buy a mazda, I drive them all the time being a valet (and I mean drive ) and they feel cheap, and undependable. Plus the ones with higher mileage (over 80k) feel like they are going to blow up, fall apart, or take up macrameing at a retirement home.

Im all for getting what you want, so if you got your eyes set, go for it. But dont let something you want blind you from the truth, that you might be taking a crap, while doing a handstand if you buy this car.

Mazda builds great cars. In fact, Mazda was awarded First Place In Germany's Auto Bild Magazine "Quality Report" for the last 3 or 4 years, if I recall correctly.

Mazdas are very dependable over here, though not that popular... if they did sell the mazdaspeed version here, or even its spiritual twin the Euro-spec Ford Focus RS, I'd have gotten one instead... But noooo... the "sport" models with 2.0 engines are only sold with automatic transmissions...
