...that my next car will be a Mazdaspeed3. I've test driven the car twice now, once in an '07 Sport and once in an '08 Grand Touring. They each have the same engine and output but I would basically like some opinions on which trim level seems more appropriate.
I won't list all of the standard features of the Sport MS3 but I will provide the extras you get with the GT model:
- Anti-Theft Security
- Xenon Headlamps (adjustable vertical angle)
- Automatic On/Off headlamps
- LED Taillights
- Rain Sensing Wipers
- Driver Information System (Trip Computer)
- In Dash 6-Disc Changer and Bose Premium 220 watt 7-speaker sound
- Leather/Cloth seats (Leather Side Bolsters and Headrest, the rest is cloth)
And thats basically it. A Sport model for '08 is around $23,500 and the GT is $25,000 and thats with the Sport model having a dealer markup of almost $1,000. In my own opinion, the car is already on the expensive side so unless I can still manage to find an '07 I won't really have too much bargaining room. Anyways, just seeing what my fellow GTP'ers had to say.
