For Die Hard Mazda Fans

2007 Mazda Mazdaspeed 3 Grand Touring 4dr Hatchback (2.3L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

Probably the best vehicle I've ever owned. Performance is that of a high priced exotic vehicle and the car only retails for around $25,000. But it's not for everyone. Only die hard performance enthusiasts should buy this car.

It's a Rocketship

This is an "Oh my gosh" car when you drive it. It's hard to believe that a front wheel drive car could be so fast. And it handles like a sports car. This car put a smile on my face that hasn't left in the 4 weeks I've owned it. The Speed 3 is just a lot of fun to drive. The car feels solid and very well built. The Grand Touring model has many amenities including rain sensing wipers, automatic headlights with height adjustment, great traction control, plenty of storage, and very nice styling lines. It is a bargain compared with it's competition and ranks higher in most comparison tests. 0 to 60 in 5.8 seconds and 155 mph top speed is accurate and among the best in class. Zoom zoom.

Best hot hatch

I own an 07 Mazdaspeed 3 and a 2007 VW GTI. The speed wins hands down for spirited driving on a back country road but suffers in town. A very short 1st gear and stiff suspension makes for a taxing drive in stop and go traffic. I take the GTI for around town driving and leave the Speed for the weekends. Oh and I average 15mpg city and 28-30mpg freeway. That's even when I skip gears and drive very lightly. The GTI on the other hand returns on average 20-25mpg city.

Screaming kid carrier, backroads and fwy

What a car! I have Jag XJR, Porsche 928, Minicooper 03, 1968 442 Olds... this kiddy carrier is a wild mix of all of them! Amazing performance sleeper of an economy/muscle/sports car. Not too visible to cops if you're not in red. I've seen a video of the car doing 167. 30-50, 40-60 etc. performance is on par with Carreras and supercars. I've only gone 138!

Vehicle has been great - no unscheduled maintenance required, beats the pants off a WRX. A lot of fun, and you won't get it into any trouble that it can't easily get you out of.
