Speed3 ftw! Too bad it's so damn ugly.

I like the Genesis. Really only for the rear wheel drive. Other than that, the Mazda looks really badarse.

I test drove a Genesis wasn't impressed. You can't see [shizzle] out of it. Gears in it are so damn close togeather i almost mised shifted twice.

I miss my Speed3! I've told myself I'll get another but not the newer models, they look ugly IMO. I loved the first gens (if you can call them that).

They were a little close together but it wasnt terrible. What killed it for me was the seats. The stupid head rest was terrible for me, one of the most uncomfortable seats i have ever sat in

I just wish the MS3 wasn't so fugly...and came in coupe/sedan format

**MazdaMan88** · 10-27-09, 23:58

^That engine and drivetrain in a 3 sedan would be epic.

**laosracer12** · 10-28-09, 3:26

the ms3 looks really happy.

**Chefsp0t** · 10-28-09, 7:24

The 1g ms3 motor and trans bolt right into the mazda5. I hate the mazda3 sedans. The hatch looks so much nicer.

**professorblaze** · 10-28-09, 12:42

you can't compair a fwd hatch vs a 2dr coupe'. I am surprised to see such a test. I pick the genesis because it is a real drivers car. rwd 2dr coupe'

**D'sMx-6** · 11-6-09, 0:24

why did they use the same engine from the old MS3 in the new MS3? The only incentive now is the looks and its kinda of a love/hate relationship with these new ones IMO

I've seen one in person, sat in it, and pretty much inspected every inch of it while my car was being worked on at the dealership. I still hate it. Give me a 1g mz3 or nothing.

Watch the video again, I'm pretty sure they just did it.

I would personally pick the MS3. Lots of torque, lots of power, great handling, that's what makes a "real drivers" car for me, not the fact that it has 2 doors and it's RWD. From all the cars I've driven, and I've driven a few RWD/2 door coupes in there as well, my favorite, most fun and most performing car to drive was my "built" MX-6...this includes "in comparison" to the RX-7* I currently drive.

As for looks of this car (2G MS3) I like it. I like the "happy go lucky" look it has.

*Note: My RX-7 has a finished suspension and is automatic, hence the why it isn't really fun to drive. It should easily beat the 6 when I get my new suspension finally installed and after I swap it over to 5-Speed this winter.
