And GT, I understand your sentiment. I like the turbo since its easier to get more power out of it. 6 speed would be nice tho🙂 The way things are looking tho I doubt I'll be getting one next spring.

Yeah, but I am definitely enjoying it. IMHO the Mazda 3 is one of the slickest new cars on the road right now(definitely the nicest compact). I love it. 19 is about what my friend payed for his Civic Si also...

Well, speaking as a Honda fanboi, I will say that I wouldn't touch a Si since its overpriced and SLOW!

The Mazda 3 doesnt have a ton of power, but 160hp 150 torque can pull it along. Most the 0-60 numbers Ive seen are 7.4-7.9 seconds for the manual. Not bad for a compact car < 20k.

When looking for cargo space + fun to drive it beats the competitors 🙂

it handles like a dream too, the fun to drive factor is definitely HIGH.

how much does it cost to insure?

Awww. Poor Skoorbie. I bet he thinks everyone is buying a Mazda 3 but him 🙁

It's okay, Skoorbie. I'm sure most of us would trade a Mazda 3 for the likes of MrsSkoorb any day 😛

Well, when it comes to insurance, the real question is, how old are you?

Saw a kid from high school with a silver one last night - wasn't the 5-door, which I don't really like, but it looked really sweet! 😀
