Hey Rexy, just for fun how did your Speed3 treat you as far as reliability? I haven't really seen them listed for much less than $14k, so its probably out of the question, but maybe not if I could find a good deal one one and the turbah doesn't add a whole bunch of reliability issues.
I quite literally never had a single issue with it. Sold it for 16K to fucking *carmax* with less than 35k on the clock because my idiot neighbor wouldn't stop opening his door into it.
However, Casey's CX-?5? with the same 2.3DISI Turbo had some turbo oil seal problems. I don't hear much about it from the Speed3's but...
Have you considered also a Speed6? I know for a while the Speed6 was priced out (new) after incentives for lower than the Speed3... it's not as much fun to drive, but it's AWD, and not a wagon.
