The Mazda....not so much. Not anywhere close.
Hold up there for a second... Granted the MazdaSpeed3 isn't up to Benz build quality, but the MS3 DOES have a few notable features that our cars do not.
1. Auto Climate Control
2. 6 CD Indash Changer with MP3 Compatibility
3. Steering wheel Mounted Audio Controls
4. Bose Sound
5. Sunroof
6. Cupholders that work
7. Seats that recline
8. Tilt Steering
9. HID Headlights(Automatic aswell I think)
10. LED Taillights
11. A REAL Color Screen Navigation System
etc.
I've driven MS3s and I have a friend with one. Not to say the Crossfire isn't a nicer, classier car overall becase it is, but the Grand Touring MS3 DOES have a lot more creature comforts. The Mazda is a sweet car for a compact Hatchback. He shoudl still trade it for an SRT-6 though, because the MS3 "IS" a Compact Hatchback... Sexy Fast vs. Sleeper Fast.
