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!

this is so fun to drive , driving this car hard keeps you on your toes, it is unforgiving if you make a mistake it'll let you. There's very little computer interference if you turn off driver controls and still gets reasonably good gas mileage very reliable with low maintenance cost Zoom Zoom

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.
