Pros

Amazing car unique alien looks suburb handling and blistering acceleration

Cons

the interior needs work

Must Buy For Any Mazda Or Hatchback Fans — I love this car its handling is excellent and its acceleration is insane for what it is. I have never walked out to a parking lot and had trouble finding my car. This car is so unique and aggressive looking. The fuel consumption and cost is not the greatest but for a sports car it very good. The interior is the only flaw, the red and black accents are the only option regardless of the exterior color. All in all the car is an absolute joy to own have a smile on my face everytime i get behind the wheel.

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

For The Money, Its The Best Performance Bargain. — 2010 MS3 is more refined than the first gen- except in looks. The turbo delivers more linear power, the suspension is a little more matured, the brakes are superb. It doesn't look great from the front-but that doesn't matter when you're in the drivers seat.

Pros

Very fun to drive. Very tourqe-y and really throws you into the seat off of the line. I really like the styling. Stock radio is good, too.

Cons

Clutch is sensitive, makes city driving a little cumbersome.

Best Bang For Your Buck! — It was between this and the Impreza. Ultimately, I chose the mazda because of its peppy engine, unique styling, and great price. Although I do hold a special place in my heart for subarus, buying new is just too expensive. Very happy with my choice!

Own It For A Few Years Then Sell It To Some Lucky Teenager. — I bought my Mazdaspeed 3 in June of 2010. It's a great car with more power than it can handle. BIGTIME value. There is no better car on the market for the money. There are some quirks to the car, like torque steer, but I think that makes it all the more fun to drive. Unfortuanly, I live in South Florida where there are few turns, no hills and lots of traffic. So I live for the few seconds that can be had spoiling up the turbo on highway on-ramps.

Zoom Zoom, Very Fast And Still Functional/! — Sure is fun to drive, but when you step on it you better have both hands on the steering wheel. Lots of space great utility like a mini wagon, but really fast. Dyno suggests quoted factory numbers are very conservative!

........ — NOT BAD CAR Firstly, the engine two liters, which previously was only on the mechanics. I read a lot of reviews that M3 with the engine "does» BMW at the start. As a result of a two-month operation will say that the dynamics there, but here behu hardly "break" even at the start. Perhaps the dynamics a bit better on a mechanical box, but not so much to participate in street racing. In general, the dynamics Pleasant, overtaking come easy and naturally. There was full confidence that the maneuver is completed as planned, and will not depend on the length of the wagon in front. Disappointed with the maximum speed limit is whatever one may do more 195km.ch not going at the same time is a 4 channel 5000 rev., And the stock is still there. Feels limiting electronics.
