Not bad. Gotta hand it to Mazda. The value is tough to beat. I don't think you can name a car that you can have with DVD-Navi, Xenons, Leather, 6-disc CD, auto with tiptronic, etc., for that price.

The handling is not too far from my A4 Avant, so that's saying a lot.

And if Mazdaspeed makes goodies for this car, it'll be even better.

 

I can't say enough good things about mine. I have owned some german products with great results of course, but for the money you can't beat this M3.

I have been without a car payment for about 2 years so that will be the hardest thing to overcome for me going forward with my new ride. Once these sloppy roads here in PA clear I'm sure I won't have a problem making the payment each month, I drove the car 3 times in the dry so I know what it can do. At least with the roads this way I know that I will not be exceeding the break in limitations.
