Convince me to not buy a WRX and get a Mazda3 instead

Thats a good point, you get everything you want plus it has better sound dampening and a smoother ride. Not to mention the interior is nice, IMO better than the 3. I think the biggest downfall for the 3 is the lack of interior color options. I just don't know about black, I had a white 626 with tan leather and it was nice. Stayed cooler in the summer and had a touch of class.theice said:

correct and they do suck.... no warning when they start to give first you have traction... then your sideways... kinda wierd the first couple of times.. i deffinatly recomend upgrading once you wear them out... or you upgrade your wheels...
My Proteges interior is awesome. Even though it is black it has enough silver to break it apart. The 3 looks too depressing. If I end up getting one, the first thing I am going to do is do some painting and add some more silver back into the interior, and hopefully be able to get black trim leather seats with silver suede inserts. I hope it to look something like the 9-2x's.Lord_Zath said:yes it was nice looking when it wasn't dirty I agree.
The black's ok as long as they do a good job on it i.e. the protege interior
Hey fellas this is a sweet discussion, somehow i stubmed upon it and i actually ended up reading the whole thread. I wasnt aware what a sweet deal the saab is. I may have to look into it, i have beent hinking about trading my 04 mz3 for a couple of months now but i couldnt thnk of a car i really wanted.
The dealer here deals both Mazdas and Saabs so they could prob take my mz3 for a good amount and put it towards the saab.
I like the 2 tone leather interior and the increase in hp is excellent; i cant wait to go test drive it.

the hu in the 3 and 6 i really don't mind the looks of them, they are all integrated so they are a pain in the ass to change if thats what you want, but with the steering wheel controls and volume leveling and the fact thay it isn't just a deck sitting in a hole (like most cars, even my gf's 04 corrolla's hu looks like shiat) i prefer its look to that of an after market hu and with a good quality loc i can do all the stereo mods i want....
also i just saw an add today for the 9-2x and it was 16479 (not sure on options but damn!!!) thats about 1500 less then my 3 brand new.... seriously thinking of going for a drive to do a test drive.... love my 3 but for that price its at least a look....
edit*** i didn't read the FINE PRINT must have been the non turbo model...

the only thing that would you would have to worry about on a saab is parts are more expensive and i don't believe their is ANY aftermarket for saab's.

But this Saab isn't a Saab. The 9-2x is essentially a rebadged Subaru with cosmetic surgery. (ala Cadillac Cimmaron/ Chevy Cavalier, Lexus ES300/Toyota Camry, Nissan Sentra/ Infinity G20)
