34,000 happy miles!

Owned this baby for 34,000 miles now! First off, this is a really fun car to own. I have three kids (9yrs and 6yr twins) and they fit with no problem in this car (even with boosters). Never get tired of the power this car makes in every gear, passes without downshifting. Fuel eco is not exceptional, but coming out of a 12mpg truck I've at least doubled it. Have to use premium fuel, runs like hell on lower octane fuel. If you live in an area that gets snow you will need a set of winter tires, I don't care how great a driver you think you are, the performance tires on this car are outright dangerous when temps fall in the 30's. All in all I would highly recommend this to anyone!

I have a 2010 Mazdaspeed 3 that I purchased in the middle of 2013 with 32k miles. I now have over 110,000 and I've only done regular oil changes along with tires and I recently did the serpentine belt and rear brake pads. The engine and transmission have been solid for me being my DD. I love the handling and power of this thing. I also like the styling more and more the longer I have it lol.

Loved this car the minute I set eyes on her. In the showroom. They had to take it out for me. Dealership mgr rode with me for test. He asked IF I could handle this car. I told him to hang on. The clutch is hair-trigger. Very tight. On or Off. Lots of torque steer. But some additions to suspension fixed that easily enough. She was fun in the Mtns. Autocross. Not so much in stop & go traffic. Great hwy car. Good mileage. Smooth @ any speed. This is a fast car. You will enjoy driving her more than your passengers will enjoy riding. Esp in town. Be careful not to overdue shifting & plant your friend's face in the glove box. But isn't that part of the fun?
