Does anyone know of a dealership that has a mazdaspeed 3 in stock? I’m looking for a used car and would like to test drive one. I’ve searched Craigslist, autotrader, ect. and no avail. ![http://i876.photobucket.com/albums/ab330/xxdarkstarxx305/images-1.jpg](http://i876.photobucket.com/albums/ab330/xxdarkstarxx305/images-1.jpg) ---

Towne Mazda down in OP/Hamburg doesn’t have any? They are the only Mazdaspeed Mazda dealer around here. Perhaps Northtown may have one on trade-in? ---

I don’t think being a mazdaspeed dealer will matter since you’re looking at an older body style. If I were you, I would send a PM to OfficerK and see if he would be willing to meet up with you and take you for a spin in his. ---

^ To go for a test drive, I can understand that. But to buy one, it’s perfect. It’s still in NYS… and a couple of hours is more than worth your time to get the car you want :tup: ---

Care to explain the difference? I’m not necessarily looking for a specific one, I just want to test drive it and compare it to my other choices: an R56 cooper s, a MK5 GTI, and a Civic si coupe (least likely). ---

I’m not necessarily looking for a specific one, I just want to test drive it and compare it to my other choices: an R56 cooper s, a MK5 GTI, and a Civic si coupe (least likely). GT has a couple nicer options, leather interior, HID headlights, optional nav, rain sensing wipers, bose stereo and an extra 100lbs of weight lol… and there is a problem with the seals on the k04 turbos used in the speeds from 06-09, there is a TSB for it but no recall… YET. Sounds like you had the same options I did… from experience I like the speed better than the si and gti. but thats my opinion. never driven a cooper s so I cant really chime in on that. ---

I’ve test driven all of these but the cooper…and the speed3 is BY FAR the most fun you’ll have, and in my book…the best looking. For the money, you’re not going to find a better car in this category than the speed3. Towne in OP has a couple on the lot, mind you they’re the 2010 new body style, but still will give you a good idea of how these things feel. ---

the speed3 will run circles around those other cars. ---
