CONS: stiffer suspension would be better for taking care of the 350 z's/g35's

REVIEW: the mazda speed steering is a might fast above 130 mph. driving on the highway is always a good experience because this little rocket will out perform 98% of the cars on the road. even turbo benzes are easy to out run (not many autobahns in the usa). if you panic stop be ready to get a red mark on ...

CONS: For being a Mazdaspeed it is pretty interior and exterior.

REVIEW: Overall I am very pleased with my 09 Mazda3 Mazdaspeed. Fun to drive and has muscle when you need it. Handles great and grabs the road. Has dynamic traction control which taked gettting use to. Kicks in on quick takeoffs which is irritating. However, comes in handy in the snow. Also don' ...

CONS: Center console takes up some knee space, no sunroof option

REVIEW: So far, I am really happy with the purchase with my 2009 MSPD3 GT package. The car is really fast when needed, but returns excellent fuel economy when it is driven gently. I am averaging 35.7 MPG overall from the trip computer and I have not reset that since leaving the dealership lot two months ...

CONS: Torque conflicts with steering capabilities on hard take offs

REVIEW: I owned a regular Mazda3 and loved it, but I always wished it had a little more UMMMPH! A year ago, I upgraded to Speed3 and never looked back. I took my Speed3 to Europe where it really had a chance to shine on the fast Euro freeways. Heads turn when I start it up, people can’t believe that ...

CONS: High speed handling on rough roads, Lack of good cargo nets in hatch

REVIEW: A wonderful "driver's" car for daily use. It's a great example of why we need more turbo cars in the Sates. Excellent performance when pushed as well as excellent MPG when driven "normal". Not too mention a great value. Went from a 2006 Maxima to this, but understood ...

CONS: Bad torque steer defeats power advantage,suspension too stiff for some

REVIEW: I bought this car new 10 months ago based on magazine articles and my own test drives. For the most part I'm well satisfied with the car and it's a kick to drive fast. The very stiff suspension keeps it very flat in the corners and tossing thru chicanes is easy. Other cars considered ...

CONS: Poor Shifter feel, need driver's leg room, cheap sunvisor & headliner, MPG, no sunroof option

REVIEW: MS3 is practical and stealth enough for family of five but SPORT enough to blow away many competitors. Nicely tuned and well balanced FWD, this is not a typical 1/4 mile all-about-hp machine. Great braking and handling performance makes it very fun to drive. Reasonably priced. A great value ...

CONS: radio

REVIEW: I can't say enough positive things about this car.....i previously had a Mazda 3 but the upgrade to the Mazdaspeed 3 is more than i could ask for! Power is very impressive, does not lag at all in any gear. It doesn't look like a beast but certainly is. The exhaust sounds great. Handling ...

CONS: Wheel hop, a bit floaty, vague shifter, Summer only tires

REVIEW: Great bang for the buck car. I downsized from larger performance sedans, but don't regret it. Car handles like an ice skater. Is a bit floaty on rough pavement but never bad. Power is endless; rowing through 3-4-5 will cause you to watch for police as you enter triple digits faster than ...

CONS: Loud, small, bose stereo over needs a real subwoofer

REVIEW: Overall, I l love my MS3. Especially for what it is....a super performing car in terms of power and handling for under $25k. It's basically an affordable car with attitude. The only negatives are more derived from the fact that I'm used to larger sedans. It's noisier. The ...
