Which one would you buy?

[protege02]

found a couple of mazdaspeeds, but i'm still debating on which one to get. here's a list for right now, and I'll add more later, but all of these cars have been on sale for the last 5-6 months plus. I'm just curious to see what you all would pick as a car. Also, I think I'm going to keep the spec v because It's not worth it to me to trade it for $4500, so I would probably be doing $1000 down, and paying the car off in like a year in a half or less if I can ever find a second job paying at least 9/hr for the hours I want to work p/t. Thanks!

either the 06 speed6 w/ 26K or the 08 speed3 (i love silver)...it depends on your needs...if i were single...i would go with the 3...since i have a family...the 6 would be a more logical choice. i like the 3s...they're fun little cars.

If it were my car I'd get a 6, but I am older and like sedans.

I would get the 6 just to have the AWD. Then mod it heavily and dominate smaller more nimble cars

I'm thinking more 6 because it's not as small, and I'm more of a sedan person too.

awd is a big point for i've never had a awd car. went from 540i, m3, m coupe, protege, to spec v, but it will only get mazdaspeed cai and that's it because I dont think there's a mazdaspeed exhaust for it. Plan on getting the extended warranty because why pay for the repairs when you dont have to.

the 6 isn't great for storage though because I have a husky, but I'm keeping the spec, so I might just let it be the dog car since she rides in it now.

this car fails for a warranty, but it's priced good and probably will blow up by 30k miles

Here's what I was told (after I bought my MSP of course) is never buy a Used Modified Turbo car especially if you don't know who did the mods. Mine wasn't modded but there are some signs that it probably was to a certain extent.

Here's a funny tidbit. This site is really good for showing everyone who's owned an MSP in your respective state right? I cannot find ANYTHING about my car's previous life. It's almost as if Mazda made a Spicy with used mechanicals and an engine that had 68K miles on it and shipped it to GA so I could buy it. Seriously. I don't think anyone here knows who owned it previous to me.

there are 6 new ones, and 2 useds one between mazda of roswell and rick case mazda/mitsu/audi/hyundai(too many manufactures). Has anyone dealt or been to mazda of roswell? something doesn't seem right about them. I bought my protege from rick case, the sentra came from them too, my younger sister bought two elantra's from them, and my older sister bought a sonata from them too. the only problem with them, is the cool finance guy doesn't work there anymore, and the new guy doesn't seem to cool at all.

I wouldn't take that car unless it was almost free, and I would just sell the parts and trade it in because they've had that car since december or january, and they were asking for $19k plus for it a couple of weeks ago. I was just throwing it out there, just in case anyone was interested in it. My spec was turboed the early part of it's life because the bumper is cutout for an intercooler, and I knew someone did something to it because of the missing air box pieces, and red coloring for where an intake pipe goes.

Also, if a car's warranty is expired, can you check with a dealer or do I have to do it through Mazda USA because a couple of these cars have intakes or exhaust?
