Pros: * Fast, Smooth, great torque, awesome exhaust note, beautiful wheels, very unique "True Red" color.
Cons: * Power delivered too smoothly?, Tires worthless in the winter, some cheap plastics inside
The Bottom Line: If you like really fast cars but don't like showing off, this is the one for you.
Just got my little mazda a few weeks ago. I traded my 2004 s2000 for a 2008 Mazdaspeed 3. Coming from the s2000, the Speed 3 seemed much more spacious. Also the power is delivered to the wheels in a much smoother way. I usually hate ... read more

Pros: tons of power. Pulls hard 1-6 gears.
Cons: none. I like the sleeper look:)
The Bottom Line: Best bang for the buck. Fast and family friendly! What a great combo for the Anti mini van dad's out there.

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Cheap speed, a lot of options, good MPG, awesome handling
Cons: Cheap speed, FWD torque steer, crappy gauges,
The Bottom Line: MS3 is for the budget minded small family sports car buyer or young enthusiast. Standard warranty 5 yrs. Hatchback for groceries. 4door. under $24K. Fast car but wife approved.
This review is about an MS3 w/ the GT package I bought about 2 months and 3000 miles ago. I will try to contrast both the performance and practicality of this vehicle. I purchased this vehicle because as a sport compact enthusiast I understand the ... read more

Pros: Fast, Fun, Practical, an awesome car at a bargain price.
Cons: Rubbery shifter. Cheap vinyl on sunvisors. Requires premium gas.
The Bottom Line: Fantastic performance without a painful ride, quietly looking like a mundane hatchback makes this an awesome sleeper, and great on highway runs.
I came up behind the Evo at a stoplight. When it went green he punched it, blasting away from the line of SUVs and Minivans in the left lane. I followed, keeping up, not racing, just enjoying the rush of acceleration. We held a just-slightly illegal ... read more

Pros: Power, standard features, handling.
Cons: Fuel economy.
The Bottom Line: I definitely recommend the MazdaSpeed3 Grand Touring.
I must admit I had not even considered buying a Mazda until a friend told me about the Mazdaspeed3 (MS3). I figured with the numbers it was posting, I could at least take a look at one. I have driven the VW GTI, Civic Si, and Subaru WRX (not STI). ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Powerful, predictable handling, spacious
Cons: Mediocre stereo offering, understeer tendency
The Bottom Line: Best value compared to GTI and Civic Si.
Fastest Hatchback I have taken up a new job that requires me to drive 60 miles round trip in Chicago and burb's traffic-infested motorways. Take into account the nasty winters we have, and I'm not so sure my highly modified 2000 Nissan Sentra SE would ... read more
