Well, the search is over Thanks for the suggestion. For those interested, I ended up buying a CC. It is certainly more refined, a lot less noise, roomier, with nice powerful engine and good looking. This my first VW, I always owned Japanese cars. It cost me 2k more than what I would have paid...

I test drove the VW CC. It is a refined sporty car, little cabin noise. Not as fast as the MS3, but fast enough, nice comfy seats. Two problems, only two seats in the back (stupid) and VW reliability.(pissed) Altima sedan with manual transmission, no more... only coupe (pissed) Next to the...

Great suggestions. I hate to do this, but I am going to have to test drive a couple more cars Legacy 2.5 GT, apparently the 2010 is much larger that the 09 VW CC (I4), nice tip, did not know about it and base is selling at invoice Altima/Maxima (not sure which one yet) G8s are going away, I...

legacy GT looks boring, I never really liked Subaru's styling. The CC looks promising, minus the two-passenger rear seat. I will probably go take a look. As for BMW, it always seems that I get less for the money, even with used ones than most other brands (I prefer a new car vs. a used BMW with...

Thanks. Probably 5-7K more. Could be used 2-3 years or so. I need 2 car seats in the backseat, but I can live with that issue

I fell in love with the MS3 a while back based on the reviews. I did a couple of test drives last week and although it is everything I expected, I am not quite there yet. May be because I never had a performance car before. The two main issues are noise and room in the back seat. I drive daily...

Thanks. I see they have a single '10 MS3 now, they are the closest to me so I am going to go there and check with Carlos. Did you buy a 2010 MS3, or an older version?

Thanks Jared. I just took a test drive today, Chris was great, but they only had one black MS3 and could not find a red one anywhere. Also I was disappointed I had to do the test drive in traffic, I had to pay attention to traffic the whole time, in any case, it is quite a capable car!

I am planning to purchase 10' MS3 in the next few weeks, I was looking around my area and found this one http://www.fitzmall.com/fitzway/carfind/RESULTSB.ASP?V_XREFID=FMMZ177045:2009-08-21T23:15:04.890 The only problem is that I do not like the black color. What do you think?

Will do. I will mention Jared sent me.

Thanks. I will definitely go there once the 2010s arrive. I may get a good deal on the 09, but I cannot live without bluetooth, and I am not interested in replacing the stereo. Looks are irrelevant to me. It is a bit of a drive though....

So, after lurking here for almost two years, I though it was time for me to take the jump and get a MS3. On Sunday I went to a Mazda dealer in Chantilly VA (Brown's). I met this guy named Ron and told him I would like to test drive MS3 (they only had one left). He said it is out on a test...

Pretty simple. Call all dealers within driving distance. Ask them for the same exact thing (being flexible on color is an advantage). Ask for car price and OTD so you can compare. Talk to either the sales manager or internet/phone sales. Make it short. At the end of the day, call the dealer with...
