As for handling. The word floaty comes to mind with the mazda 3. Look, in the real world they both perform about the same, but the mazda 3 with at least the sport package does look better.
Uh huh
He is not talking about a base model. The base model mazda 3 is ugly as hell. Might as well buy a Scion. Besides for 17k you get a hell of a alot more in the spec then the base mazda 3.
All talk
As usual jay you are all talk. First of all the 3 does not out handle the spec. Second, the spec is very tight. Third, the 3 is 24k and the spec is 17k duhhhh. Of course the 3 will have nicer styling. You know nothing. if you would remove your head from your friends ass for a minute...
