Well, that sucks... surprised I didn't notice that in my research

On the upside, I drove a Mazdaspeed 3 today and loved it.
Whether I actually end up buying one or not remains to be seen, I need to do some more looking. Still, thanks for the info.

The mazda 3 is a nice car. They are built about a mile from my house. I have a few friends that work there and an uncle. My uncle I believe does under body quality checks. Same plant that builds the mustang.

However, you will find that the insurance is going to be higher on that Mazda than the corresponding GM/Chrysler/Ford.

The 6 is built in the US, the 3 is still built in Japan.

Then it's the 6 that is built like 2 miles (if that) from my house. If I go down the street I can see the factory.

The speed anything is the performance model. And yes, the 6 is the one made here in the states.

But the speed3 is the one now parked outside my apartment
If I walk down to the stairwell, I can see it.

The speed 3 is tight for anything bigger than a teen boy.
