Cool looking car.....but not as cool as the '08 STI !

twigg107 · 05-09-2008, 08:11 PM

sorry but I had a mazda3 parked next to my car and they totally look different...... also the video is missing something...... thats right! The subie rumble!!!!

USNSTI · 05-09-2008, 08:13 PM

I mean they are similar in appearance, with obvious differences. I was almost buying into the comparison between speed3 and sti for a while. Then I saw one up close. The brakes made me lol.

CKSTI · 05-09-2008, 08:17 PM

Just like any car manufacturer, shadows other different brands...like the evo 3 to the 2.5RS right! That's a hot lookin' Mazda 3 though.

wow that guy has the exact wheels i want... nice looking car

That's like saying the Audi S5 looks like BMW 6 seriess just because the have 2 doors and a similar body line.

That is a pretty sweet lookin Mazada 3. I just ordered a set of those for my track rims.

..... some people just have too much time on the hands. another useless thread.

pwn · 05-10-2008, 01:04 AM

are those re-30s?

HRCboy · 05-10-2008, 01:11 AM

OZ ultraleggeras

I think these are the only rims that come 19x8 with a 55 offset that is a reasonable price.

falconeight · 05-10-2008, 04:34 AM

To bad performance and quality wise they are no where near the same. Plus they really don't even come close in appearance. The Mazda is a forgetable looing car. It passes you on the street and no one cares. A STI passes you and draws drop. Its funny how people come to this forums to justify their car or car purchase.

LSE · 05-10-2008, 04:35 AM

while I don't like the hatch 08, it stands way way more than the mazda 3. With it's damn scoop and fenders, the 08 just looks mean mean.
