Hey guys, 2002 Protg 5 owner here!
My gf is looking for a car.
We narrowed down the search to 2 cars, 2008 Impreza 2.5 Sport Hatchback and the 2008 Mazda 3 hatchback
Its gone back and forth over the past month or 2 between those 2 cars.
First she absolutely wanted the Mazda 3, then winter hit and she was hooked on the new impreza cause of the AWD.
This week I saw in the paper that ALL 2008 Mazdas were at 0% financing for up to 60 months, so were back to the Mazda 3.
Quite honestly, 0% financing over 60 months is a great deal and im not sure we can refuse that offer.
I know Ill probably get a biased response, but what do you guys think of the Impreza compared to the 3? Theyre about in the same price range here in Canada.
Back to the 3. Theres 2 engine options, the 2.0 and the sport 2.3. Is the 2.3 that much more powerful than the 2.0? How about the fuel economy between the two?
Hows the Automatic and the Manual performance on the Mazda 3?
I know this is quite a mouthful from me, especially for my first post in the 3 forum, but Id really like to get some inside information and make an informed decision when it comes to buying either the 3 or the Impreza.
Thanks guys, totally appreciate it!
Joey
