probably trading it in
 

I love the car but way too many problems, there for I'm thinking of trading it in for either a new mx5 (miata) or the mazdaspeed 3. which one do you guys like beter.

The miata will have similar handling and overall feel.
THe mazdaspeed 3 is a different type of car (5 door), FWD. It might actually feel faster.

Did you have to many problems with the 8?

Why stick with Mazda?

Where in Miami do you live? ..

go domestic lol.

If I was shorter and younger, I'd go for the Miata. Mazda 3 wouldn't even be on my radar screen.

But that's me. Your needs and self-image will be different.

I'm in Miami aswell!

What problems where you having with the 8? The choice of car depends only on you. Do you want a two seater with handling just like the 8, or do you prefer the M3 FWD assuming that you want the 5 door version. Either way both cars are excellent choices.
