I had a little argument with my sister on how I pick the cars for my blogs. Basically, the whole thing of picking the cars for my posts is simple. Sometimes I just recall the cars, browse the internet to see what’s the best or if I’m lucky enough I’d see these cars in the streets.
Meanwhile, off to my post for today are two cars that I’m sure you’re already familiar with- MAZDASPEED 3 and the Mini Cooper S Clubman. Comparing two great cars almost every week is no easy task. Firstly, I think that most cars are unique but if you use several indicators, it’s safe to say that picking one car from the other has a semblance of rationality behind it. This post is all about gauging the MAZDASPEED 3 and the Mini Cooper S Clubman. Both cars are classy, sophisticated and fantastic although one of them has to be the better choice over the other. Contrary to popular notion, choosing the car is not all about which is cheaper. Why? Read on.
MAZDASPEED3
Price: 23,000 dollars
The MAZDASPEED 3 is fast and powerful and that can be proven by its ability to scorch the road from 0-60 mph in just 5.5 seconds. If you have enough cement or asphalt ahead of you then you’ll be able to reach 155 mph once you’re behind the steering wheel of this car. The car also has superior handling and steering although I don’t think it can reach the BMW’s level of expertise. On a different note, if you’re the type of guy who craves and thrives with attention, don’t expect to get any with the MAZDASPEED 3 since I find this car boring looks-wise. However, it doesn’t matter because when you get inside of this car, its interior totally stands out. It’s just like being inside a sports and luxury car all rolled into one.
Apart from the aforementioned, this car has enough room for two more people at the back and as far as I am concerned, that says a lot about the design of this car. Overall, this car isn’t that expensive with all the precision and class that a top-tier European car has. So if you have at least 25 thousands bucks to spare from your bank account, the MAZDASPEED 3 is a great investment.
MINI Cooper S Clubman
Price: 24,000 dollars
Needless to say I always loved the design of the Mini Cooper although I have never compared it to anything near the caliber of the aforementioned car. Meanwhile in just 7.0 seconds, the Clubman can race from 0-60 mph topping it with 139 mph speed. When it comes to the exterior design, I would dare say that the Clubman trumps what the MAZDASPEED 3 has to offer. There isn’t much space to use for more people and stuff though which is its Achilles heel when it comes to this aspect. I was however impressed with the 10-speaker audio system that the Clubman has which I didn’t find in the MAZDASPEED 3.
On a different note, the Clubman is a little too expensive for my taste only because the MAZDASPEED 3 is cheaper. Overall, style-wise the Clubman is excellent while it lacks the power and performance that the MAZDASPEED 3 has. On the other hand, choosing between the cars depends largely on the lifestyle and the preferences that you have. I am after practicality, space and performance so I would give this car comparison contest to the MAZDASPEED 3.
