I am the original owner of a stock 2013 Speed3, and it has been an incredible performer and commuter. Even with 120k on the odometer and seven years under its belt, it still puts a smile on my face when I drive it. It’s a shame Mazda stopped production, I would buy another one in a heartbeat! Forged motor internals from the factory, great power, price and overall performance, that’s hard to beat. My Speed3 has been dealer maintained and for the most part problem free. Great car!

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
