Then if you look at the car, inside and out, its really a better lookin' car than ours IMO. Now don't get me wrong, I still love my car, even 3 1/2 years later, but if your honest with yourself let me pose this question..."if both cars were infront of you back when you bought your car (if you bought new) which car would you have bought




I think the SVT is clearly nicer looking outside..
Inside...Mazda nicer by a wide margin...
Power.....a draw slight edge to Mazda simply for "modability"
Handling....slight edge to SVT
The Mazda has more polish..the SVT more viceral character.

It would be a tough choice...but I got the SVT for 18.4K new...we have a winner!
