I just bought this car in may of this year. I had the Mazda 3 GT before this one but wanted to get the Turbo version. This car is very fast, and you have to get used to the torque steer when you are shifting. For some reason it always pulls me to the left. Again the car is great, you got your 4 doors with a hatch and seats that fold down. I had a problem with the stereo (volume) had to take it back to get it changed for a new one.
Wanted one for a while, now.

It's all I expected and then some. The new Crystal White Pearl is gorgeous. Rides well, handles and brakes VERY well. Acceptable mileage since my other vehicle is a Dodge Ram. Love the auto A/C and wipers. Awesome torque! Practical as well, with the rear hatch. The audio system is superb. Anyone looking for a reasonably inexpensive and practical road rocket -- this is it.

I bought this car about 2 weeks ago, and just finished break in. Before I bought this car, I had to decide about sport or comfort. I chose the sporty features of the vehicle. This car is a pure fun to drive sport car. Handling is excellent, and power is off the hook. Even though it is in 6th gear in about 40mph, it jumps up to 70 mph very easily. It is very pleasure to see and drive this vehicle everyday. It's turbo boost starts about 3000 but that doesn't mean that this car have a turbo leg. I test drove GTI before I bought this car, and GTI had a some turbo legs. It is a true sport car with most of comforts you want.
Buy One!

I have had the speed3 for five months now and just love the car. For the money you are not going to find a better performance bargain. And whats best about it is its a Japanese car made in Japan which is a rare find today.
Long term review

I've owned this car for 5 months now, so we'll call this a long term road test. The Mazdaspeed has baggage room and comfort to keep the wife and kids happy, and performance to satisfy the Wild Child inside of me that just won't grow up. I owned a 5.0 Mustang and missed its raw power when I bought an Eclipse GT. Now the Eclipse is gone and the power is back, in spades. The Mustang didn't handle curves well, the Speed will go as hard as I dare, I've never come close to finding its limit on a curvy road. If you look up "bang for the buck" on Wikipedia, there should be a picture of this car next to it.
