Mazda3 or MP5?

I'm in the process of buying car and I am deffinantly going with a Mazda, but I'm not sure which one I should get. Between a 2005 Mazda 3 and 2003 MP5, which is better to go with? I'm looking for the best proce, ride comfortability, MPG, and performance potenital. If anyone has any suggestions on what would be easier to improve power and suspension please let me know. Thanks.

The 3 is bigger, more comfortable, a little more powerful and more refined. The Protege is lighter weight, corners a little better, is nowhere near as quiet inside, and is cheaper to work on.
8g's is about what you should expect to pay for a decent 3, and you can get a P5 for about half that.
I Love My Protege5, but I've been looking at '10+ MS3s lately. That smiley face is growing on me. lol
