 Anybody out there ever own, or otherwise have experience with, any Mazdaspeed 3s?  I have found some pretty reasonably-priced ones close by with low mileage (one under 20k, others under 40k).  (The WRXs in my price range---trying to keep this somewhat under $20k if possible---seem to have mileages in the 40-55k range, and are pretty much at that $20k asking price.  Don't know how flexible they'd be on that---those cars are fairly few and far between.)  The Mazdas were in the $16-17k range.  Zoom zoom?

Like I said, people hold on to their Imprezas.  Resale is great, both getting in and getting out.  I have had a couple of Rx7s and a 626.  Rented a Mazda3.  They are all great cars.  Very driver focused.  But they seem to be a little fragile as far as Japanese cars go.  Look at the Mazdaspeed6 before making a decision.
