No question the speed3 is superior to the A3 in several ways. I really like the A3, but for less money you can get a speed3. Audi isn't among the best in quality or reliability and the A3 doesn't have the performance of the Mazda. I would choose the Speed3 if you like to drive manual tranny car. If you want an AWD go for the Speed6 for about the same money as the A3 and still better.

I would go with the mazda just because it has a more powerful engine, the mazda speed has some cool features and computer parts borrowed from the rx-8 and has around 260hp. The A3 comes from a company with a sterling reputation and gives you some great warranty options. The mazdaspeed 3 is a fast and good car, much faster than the A3, but lacks the luxury aspect of the audi.

Dollar for dollar, the MZ3 Speed is a much better deal in terms of performance, maintenance costs, and overall customer satisfaction. The A3 is much more expensive, more luxurious, and a solid built piece of German engineering. IF money isn't an issue, the Audi is the way to go, otherwise the Speed 3 kills the competition.

80k miles is a lot for a three year previous automobile, yet i think of that it somewhat is a sturdy theory for some motives: a million. vehicles are exceedingly a lot bulletproof those days. With their aluminum factors that don't rust and artificial oils and whatnot. not that it would be reliable to purchase a automobile with 160k+ on it, yet I in basic terms does not sweat the mileage too a lot. 2. Mazdas are somewhat sturdy vehicles. i don't comprehend appropriate to the Speed3 however, as a results of fact it somewhat is putting out a reliable volume of horsepower, yet i'm confident that they are particularly reliable. 3. If it has that many miles in one in all these short volume of time, it somewhat is a exceedingly reliable guess that they are highway miles. this implies much less of a toll on brakes, transmission, and the engine. 4. i've got in no way offered a automobile with under 70k miles on it, and any maintenance that I actual have had to do have been minor adequate so as that i'd desire to do it myself. I constantly theory that it became into success of the draw, yet after 3 vehicles, perhaps this is in basic terms that typical maintenance and a Haynes handbook can save a automobile rolling a lot longer than one might think of. reliable success guy, those Speed3s are cool vehicles.

I'd pick the Mazdaspeed 3, as it has the twin turbo 263 ponies and sharp looking. It's a hot car.

Mazda. Audis are solidly built out of quality materials. What many people dont know is that they are suspect to electrical problems which are usually catastrophic, engine management, dashboard failures etc. Mazda 3 is powerfull, great chassis making it fun to drive, well equiped, good looker and 100% reliable.
