mazda 6 all the way, though a GSR is nice too. i wouldn't take a GT-S celica if given the choice of the other two.

Hard decision to make. The 6 is in a totally different catagory... It's a 4 door sports car that is quite practical. The other 2 are street racers. If you are going for performance go for the GSR, if you want unbeatable reliability and a faster stock car go for the GTS. If you want something that is both practical go for the 6. I for one would take a look at the Mazdaspeed Protege. It a wonderful combination of usefullness and sportiness, not the mention the interior is unlike anything in it's class.

How much money are you looking to spend?

Out of those 3, Id say GTS, but ONLY if you buy something other then the 01-02 model. they have gay rev limiters which make then fall out of VVT-i even when shifting at redline. the 2000s and 2003s are faster then the 01s and 02s. Oh and the 6spd is a MUST, GTS autos run mid-high 16s. You could be doing that with your civic.

Not on that list, but costs as much? Used LT1 Z28.

out of what you listed, It would be a little hard for me to choose between the GSR and the GTS. I just like hatchbacks though.

Stick with the GT-S... The GSR is kinda old and you might have trouble finding one with low miles (well, unless you look for a 2001 model). Plus, the GT-S looks better.

The Mazda 6 is just completely in another category. Get it if you're gonna be cruisin'....

I'd say...GSR w/JDM ITR front-end. The thing with the Celica, I think they have problems with mis-shifts... but then don't most 6-spds? I can't say for sure since I'm not an expert on standard transmissions...the Celica GT-S engine redlines at 8200 I THINK, and makes 180HP/142lb. ft. tq. 0-60 7.2s, 1/4 et 15.5 Yes quicker than a GS-R, but remember THIS was made to compete more closely with the ITR....however the ITR is a tad quicker in tests.

I'd go with the 6, however, since it's so new, I would stay clear. So it's between the other two...
