For some reason..

I really like this car.

I guess I am just a RICER at heart.

I was...but I drove one of these the other day while teh wifes car was in for it's first service...
It had Leather, Bose, moonroof all the bells and whistles and it was pretty quick.
I actually have re-thought the mazdaspeed 6 option..more car for the money with the Legacy GT. Hell who knows..I might just keep my CLS

I think they're pretty cool. Black or white would look sweet on that car.

I have seen these in person and they look upscale compared to the Civic, sentra etc. The only thing i can think of that this car can use is a drop, may be an inch or so, coz the back looks jacked up, specially on the four door saloon.

I like the 3 also. I find it strange that you can get Nav in a 3 but not a 6.

Went to test drive the 3 this weekend and was thoroughly impressed. Felt pretty well put together, steering was nicely weighted, suspension was solid (actually rode better than the Audi A3 I tested a couple weeks ago), and the car looks pretty decent. It's not quick, but it has enough grunt to get you on the highway and allow for basic passing manuever without issue. On top of that, the car actually looks pretty good. This one is worth some serious consideration.

Nope. I like small cars. Besides, if I get something like the Mazda 3, it will be in addition to the TSX so I don't need anything huge.
