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?

It's been a year since I got my MS3 with Tech Package. I come from 96 5series/ 01 Infiniti so I expect a lot of features, quality interior and ample power, plus I wanted utility. MS3 delivers all this, and for only $25k. Checked out WRX (poor interior) and GTI (not many features and low power). MS3 won hands down. Love every minute of driving it, even a year and 6k miles later. The ride is pretty firm - you feel a lot of the road through the sit, and bumps can shake your soul out , but it corners like on rails and steers like a go cart. The torque steer is very manageable, and is a minor bother in 1st gear only. The audio system is great, climate control works like a charm. Great job, Mazda!
Fun but be prepared to repair it

I have a 2011 Mazdaspeed3. 1 year after owning it I wanted some feedback directly from the Mazda dealership. They provided ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! I asked if they could tell me some of the service intervals of this car especially when it comes to cleaning out the carbon. I was told to look in the owners manual. I looked and could not find ANYTHING! I took my car to a mechanic I’ve used for years and asked them to do a carbon cleaning. The put some cleaner in the fuel tank and said it would be fine. 2 intake valves broke 1 year later costing me $2500 to repair. It did not work because the car is Direct Injection. 6 months later my shocks blow out. $1000 repair. It’s fun if you like repairs and turbocharged engines.
