I am thinking about getting a mazda 3 to replace the CSVT. I was originally going to go with a CRV (we have large dogs and I need haul stuff for work events) but the enthusiast side of me is saying I will get bored of it.

I've been looking again at the 3. I like the standard 3, it lacks a little power. But it gets decent milage. I've been reading about rumors of a turbo 3 that might be released early 2006 that will put out 200+ hp, something I would be more interested in.
Now, do I wait for the turbo 3, and will it be worth the extra $$$$...I am assuming it will be priced near the SRT-4, SIR civic etc. Anyone have any more info on it, if and when this might hit showrooms etc. I've enquired about it at the dealer and they seem clueless. Then again, I normally walk in knowing more about the cars they sell than they seem to do...lol.
Also, any owner experience with these cars good and bad?
Thanks
