My local Mazda dealer in 2013
Taken not too long after they discontinued the speed 3. There were a couple more out front that aren’t pictured.

That era was my favorite look for the hatchback.
This and the hatch WRX were perfect. MK6 GTI was ok.
For me, Mk IV R32 will always be the peak of Hot Hatch. I've never owned one and never will, but damn.
The prices of original R32s backs up this claim. Bring a trailer has had a coupon go over $40s I think.
Oh wow. That's a lot of money, and even then they might have age-related things to take care of with parts availability getting worse and worse. Thinking of OE fuel lines, for example.
There are quite a few parts that just aren’t available for the r32 specifically like bumper covers and window trim. It makes cars in good condition go for stupid money, and junk cars still desirable. The Humble Mechanic on YouTube has a fair few videos on the R32.
Yeah, Charles is awesome. I haven't seen his latest video yet, but the fact that somebody had his R32 in a body shop for two years for a full rust repair probably tells us that the surviving good specimens are sought after.
I really like the bugeye sti's, but a dream car for me is the Renault R5 turbo
