Winners of first round.

 

[webby]

you test driving, or how did they win?

 

[Alakaboom]

Test driving. I'm leaning heavily on the speed3

 

[webby]

so you drove all the cars on the list, and those are the 2 winners?

 

[Alakaboom]

I Drove most of them, decided the m3 was too expensive to mod.

 

[webby]

m3 also has like 333hp to start with

 

[Alakaboom]

i have to be faster than average.

 

[webby]

a stock m3 is going to be faster than a modded 8th gen, unless you're going forced induction. It's faster out of the box. Guess that's what I was trying to get at.

 

[hotshot]

The Mazda is definitely the faster of the two. I considered both and went with the civic. Wanna know how they can manage to stuff almost 300hp and 5 doors and only charge mid 20s for it?

 

[Alakaboom]

I'm up for that.

Pics.

 

[webby]

Bought a speed?

 

[Alakaboom]

indeed.

 

[wbarraza]

What made you get a speed instead of the civic? besides being faster is there any other huge differences?

 

[Alakaboom]

Utility is a big one, four dours is minor because i would have gotten the Si Coupe, Turbo motor means more power per dollar, and i got a killer deal on it, less than the Si

Dang, niceeee. Hows the interior in the mazda?

 

[webby]

Willing to share pricing/financing info?

 

[Alakaboom]

The interior in the mazda is a perfect fit for me where the Si was less plush. otherwise interior quality is a lot more attractive in the Speed.

I ended up at 399.00/72 including 7.25% tax, plates, etc. and 3.9% interest. I forgot the exact price of the car but it was around 22-23k before accessories due to two small scratches that I will buff out, or have buffed out. 28,728 total of payments.
