I'm considering picking on a Mazda3 sedan as a daily driver/stock class autocrosser. I've already received some advice in the autocross forum, but I'm hoping someone here can give me some more info....
Looking at the options sheet for the '07's on the Mazda website, I see no mention of wheel sizes. I assume that the 15" wheels are standard for the 3i Sport, there are no options to get the 16's on a Sport, and I would have to buy a Touring to get the 16's from the factory. Is this true? If so, has this been the case with each model year?
Also, I was wondering if anyone has any real life weight figures. Are the '07's really heavier? What is the weight difference between the 3i Sport and the 3i Touring package? What is the weight difference between an i and an s?
Any help would be appreciated.
