Normally I'd say yes, but these days it's a tough call.

Both are fine up to age 50. They have that Euro maturity.

The Mazdaspeed though, eh.......35 tops

The GTI is a better car...but let's face it, you're gonna drive it like a pussy anyway so might as well get the Volvo....Though the Volvo is kinda of a chick car.

Just saw a Volvo today. Priced out a sweet C30R at $32k on their website.

If you absolutely have to pay $32k for your Mazdaspeed 3, sure.
I looked at both, I drove both, I bought the Mazda.

Are you saying they are built on the same platform?

They definitely aren't the same motor.
