Are they RWD? If not, do you experience torque-steer? I thought I read that was a problem with the Mazda3Speeds.

I haven't pushed it enough to experience any potential handling problems, I'll say this for what I'm going to use it for it will do plenty well. The Navigation works great, I love the Bose stereo in it too. Seats are nice and supportive and it has a great ride to it.

Bout to get a 2010 Corolla...make fun of me all you want but I still have wood from the price

Not hating my friend. I got mine for $15,800.00 OTD with a warranty (B to B) until 2013 or 90k miles.

$109 per month....

Why would we make fun of you? Cause you buy reliable, safe cars? Even if they are very common and cookie cutter cars with no quirkiness to them what so ever.

I myself haven't heard of the oil burning problem but I'll be sure to keep an eye on that, hopefully it doesn't happen or does while its under warranty still. Bottom end is a weak point indeed, for me though it will probably last and last because this wont be a track car for me. Hopefully this POS LT1 camaro im chasing will be the track car.

Its not a bad AWD system, i just prefer my AWD to be full time and not some computer passing power from wheel to wheel, it makes it harder to drive the car sideways through snow lol, not only do you have to know what the car will do but also what the little computer controlling your power split will do.

Yeah man no doubt Subaru's AWD > MS6 AWD. Since I live in Florida-Rica I don't have the snow problem.
