I want to ask everyone here for your input. These 2 cars are both under 20k and i feel they are worth every penny. The Nissan Se-R Spec V is a monster comparied to the Mazda MP3. But the Mazda MP3 looks like a million Bux.
Heres a quick look at both cars specs wise:
The Se-R Spec V has a 2.5-liter DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder engine producing 175 hp & 180 lb-ft of torque
The MP3 has a 2.0-liter DOHC 16-valve I-4 engine producing 140 hp & 142 lb-ft of torque
Both car's have their custom toys, both limited edition and hard to find. I though i wanted the Se-R but the interior for the MP3 is hella better and so is the exterior. The MP3 is weaker by alot in comparison but fall '02 a Garrett T25 turbocharger system for the MP3 will make its way to the US, producing 170 hp & 155 lb-ft of torque (targeted). Still not Se-R power but better. No ideal how much the turbo version is gona cost yet. Check the links to get a better read of both cars, the Se-R is just the nissanusa web site.
