So what did you end up with? I have had a Mazda 3s hatch 5 speed for about two years now, have had zero problems and it is really a blast to drive; the shifter and clutch are very smooth and the car is pretty quick. It handles like a sports car; you can take corners at way over posted speeds with no problem and it is exhilarating.
I drove the Speed3 a few months ago and was tempted to move up, but the Speed3 gets worse gas mileage and requires premium fuel (those are the only negatives). For about $23K it was very tempting and I've gone back and forth on it a few times but I am extremely happy with the car I've got.
