Default test drove a mazdaspeed3

fun little prick it is. i licked it. not enough to trade in the S. handles great. love the trq above 2k. seat doesnt hug as well as the s2k seats. shifter feels muhsy compared to the S but a lot better then most other cars. nice short throws. engine/exhaust has a nice growl. i still drove home in the S. but if i had to absolutely get rid of the S for something more practical.......

punks at mitsu dealer still wont let me test drive the evo.

They wouldn't let you test drive an Evo? Lame... They pulled one off the show-room floor for me when they first came out.

I'd try a different Mitsu dealer. It's a fun little car, much better than the MS3 IMO.

Car licking is highly over rated...they just don't taste as good as the look.

Although I also hate torque steer (and other problems of tail-draggers), I must point out that Mazda limits power output in the lower gears to minimize this problem.

Im still shocked that you can get the MS 3 for $22000. Im seriously thinking of getting it. One thing I like about it is that for a car in that class, its pretty "mature" looking. Meaning I wont feel as embarased driving it as I was starting to feel in my Sti.
