Let's see, they have exactly zero in common except the idea that they're
both front wheel drive, 5 door Japanese cars.
Why Mazdaspeed3 instead of WRX?

They've come on a lot in 20+ years. Of course, i've neve seen a
regular saloon described as better handling than a race-oriented car.

Re: Bye Bye Honda Fit! Helllllllllooooooooooo Mazdaspeed3!!!!!
My son and I test drove a WRX a few months ago when we were shopping for a
new car for him for graduation.
Fast? Oh yeah.
But it was put together like the cheapo civic DX and even shutting the doors
sounded tinny. The inside was nothing to write home about. I guess if you
want raw power, it's for you. Personally I like a balance of both.
He ended up getting an EX-V6 4 door Accord 6-Spd.

well here's the thing - the dealer let my buddy and i take the the car
out on our own [as in, unsupervised!!!] so you can guess what happened.
basically, we took it out on a canyon trail and redlined it for about
30 minutes. power, yep. brakes, ok. handling, blah. better than a
stock legacy, but still blah. hondas understeer at 9/10ths, but they
still handle better if you know what you're doing because you can use it
to gauge the degree of available traction.
i wonder how many people get to do /real/ test drives like that? [tip:
show up at about 5:30 on a sunday night when there's 5 other people in
the showroom looking at minivans and the sales dude wants to go home.]

well here's the thing - the dealer let my buddy and i take the the car
out on our own [as in, unsupervised!!!] so you can guess what happened.
basically, we took it out on a canyon trail and redlined it for about
30 minutes. power, yep. brakes, ok. handling, blah. better than a
stock legacy, but still blah. hondas understeer at 9/10ths, but they
still handle better if you know what you're doing because you can use it
to gauge the degree of available traction.
i wonder how many people get to do /real/ test drives like that? [tip:
show up at about 5:30 on a sunday night when there's 5 other people in
the showroom looking at minivans and the sales dude wants to go home.]
