Looking at getting a 2007 mazda3, manual 2.3L l4. Any other cars comparable or Veeky Forums approved to the mazda3? Looking to spend no more than 6500.

I have a 2005 2.3L hatch
Zero rust btw
Zero issues at 160k miles
Its been a really good car.
Most favorite things are shift feel, handling, and the brakes are amazing.

No you.
Why is fwd so shitty?
Itll be my first car and manual because i want an engaged driving experience. Found a couple between 2005-7 with 95-115k miles for around 5500

Lel, here's your (you).

>implying you can't DD a sports car
Watch out for oil issues
I have the 2009 with 90k miles and oil has never been an issue. Mounts however are a big issue
a comparable car would perhaps be a saab 9-3 aero or 9-5 aero if u want a bigger car
the 2.8 turbo v6 is what u want but the turbo 4s can put out decent power too
later models have awd but good luck finding one under 6,500
i got my 06 9-3 aero with the 2.8t for 6k with just over 100k miles
been incredibly reliable
also can be found in wagon form
Good looks in checking them out now
for how niche these cars are they have a decent aftermarket
They dont have oil issues. That was the protege.
What is that im reading?
that's the stages from JZW tuning for the saab 9-3 aero
if you don't care about dorifto Mazda3's are pretty dope
i used to have one and I loved it
tryhard tripfag lmao
i aint trying shit, I just prefer having a name
