    Default Saying farewell to 08' Speed and getting a 2018 GT premium ?

    So as the title says , I really like the new 3 .. sadly they don't come with speed power but they look amazing and the interior is nice , would you do the switch?
    Speed 3 180,000kms and not in the best shape..

    If your speed is in great shape, I think you should keep it.... and get a 2018..

    Let me know if you need a hand with that.
    Damn you photobucket.....

    I have had a few costly repairs recently that have me thinking the same thing. I've been trying to wait for a next gen Speed3 but it looks like that may not happen..
    I took a 3GT for a test drive Saturday and although not as powerful as the Speed3 it's still very fun to drive.

    You could always lease or buy certified used if you still believe they'll ever release a new MS3.

    All evidence points to the contrary though.

    Yeah,

    I don't see Mazda going in that direction any time soon.. but to keep you being tied down to a car while you wait, a lease might be a viable option.

    Yeah I love my speed 3 , but after test driving my friends 2017 GT premium it feels pretty luxurious inside for what it is and fun to drive ... comparing to speed 3 power its not there of course but it still isn't bad

    My '17 3 GT Premium is my poor man's Audi / Beemer.

    No, it may not exactly be on that level. But for me and compared to what a Beemer / Audi would've cost it sure does the job nicely. That interior sure is a nice spot to be... :-)
