We got my wife a tC after she was looking at the Mazda 3. It kicks all other similar sized car asses. I'm really impressed with the factory handling and the pep from the motor. One thing I noticed is that this carhas super responsive throttle response. For the money you cannot beat what you get. Too bad my wife isisted on the Auto, but still, it's quick and would show most Contours it's heels. A MTX, I'm sure would give an SVT a run for it's money.
