I know you want the 12 si , but I'd test drive that speed 3 If I were you. I was very impressed by that thing, it pulls very hard.

You would be just another punk I'd have to humble. 😎
When I bought the '09 Si, I looked at the Mazda 3 turbo, Suburu WRX and Cobalt SS. I liked all 3 car because of their turbo 4s and performance, but not their 18 city and 25 highway gas mileage. I was also considering waiting for the Ford Focus SVT turbo.
But my job requires that I drive 250-300 miles per week. I'd rather get 27-30 MPG overall in the Si than gain 0.5 seconds to 1 second 0-60 acceleration times and average 20-22 MPG with gas prices ranging from $3.25 - $4.00+ per gallon.
I figure the few thousand dollars I save with an Si means I can add a turbo later on, if gas prices drop below $3 or if I really want a turbo.
The Fins are looking decent.
