I did a ton of research and found a deal I could not pass up. The power for the money is amazing plus the convenience of 4 door with room it was hard to not to buy one. If you've read ALL of the reviews and research of this vehicle, you have heard it's a blast to drive. And it is. The suspension will greatly exaggerate any small pothole or bump. Especially at high speeds. I do love the power and getting it out on the freeway. In 3rd it really lets loose with the turbo and before you know your doing 90mph in 5th! One complaint - I have noticed a few rattles near the windshield area. Power, convenience of 4 doors and decent mpg was everything I was looking for.
seats are too stiff

My husband bought it for me, I'd not driven one, ever. Love the concept: small 4 door hatch, manual, fast, etc, BUT can't drive it very long cause the seats are painfully stiff. Only had it a day, but probably will sell soon. My butt and hips are literally numb on the sides from the awful seats.

I've wanted one of these since they came out. Was going to wait 'til spring '09, but this is apparently the last year, so I jumped early. Not sorry I bought it. Absolute blast to drive, stupendous acceleration and corners on rails. Acceptable ride for what it is (my Ram and 300C ride better -- so what?). Acceptable mileage as well.

I'm an admitted car nut and have had the opportunity to drive quite a few performance vehicles over the years. With all things considered, the Mazdaspeed3 comes out at the top of the heap when it comes to performance, cost and comfort. I just knew I had to have one when the car salesman punched the accelerator for the first time during my test drive! ZOOM, ZOOM!

Wanted one since they came out. Was going to wait 'til spring '09, but this is the last year, so I jumped early. This car is phenomenal! Great power and handling. Not sorry I bought it. Acceptable mileage (it's not a sipper, but it does very well if driven gently). Very comfortable on a recent weekend trip, and the throttle response is amazing!
