wrx vs mazdaspeed 3
wow this is crazy i test drove both cars today and it feels like the speed3 is a little faster then the wrx, i was trying to trade in my 2002 rs and finance a car..I love subaru, but the speed3 was nice too, guess it just depends on the driver.. tough call

I'll take 2.
Personally, I'd rather have the speed 3. Better interior, moar power, not as flashy. Too bad it was new, and therefore out of my price range when I bought my wrx in 2006.

I love subarus for life, I just have to give the mazdaspeed 3 credit, its a lot faster then the overpriced rx 8...any how i should of saved up more and bought a 02 or 03 wrx, lesson learned..

The RX8 isn't fast unless you're not going in a straight line. I've never been in a car that turns in sharper or carries more speed through a given corner in stock form.

i had the same problem as you when i bought my 08... but the thing is i thought the ms3 felt slower... but i dunno thats just me. i bought the wrx and love it the awd is great if you go to the snow or drive it hard. but hey its up to you and i hope your happy with whatever you pick.
