Overall Picture--

What Works:
Excellent power, handling and poise for an economy car.

What Needs Work:
Exterior styling does not appeal to the masses; brake performance is unimpressive.

Bottom Line:
Mazda introduces its new 3 without compromising the spirit of its outgoing model.

lol thanks but not without some help somewhere else.

I really love the Celestial Blue, but not as much as my Winning Blue I dont think

 

[Mazdaspeed Joel]

I love Celestial Blue too, it looks hot

the body styling needs help badly. the front end kills the car....

 

[Mazdaspeed Joel]

[foompla_alpmoof]

i, uh, am liking it less and less. especially hearing that the 2010 speed is gonna have the same 2.3 engine, I have no motivation to buy one

 

[AxelaSpeed]

so just go buy another used speed 3 in black, stop ur whining and do it already!

 

[Corbs]

wats up with the engine??

 

[josh]

What do you mean?

 

[Corbs]

oh nvm i rad that wrong i thought idk lol i thought he said they changed the engine

 

[Mazdaspeed Joel]

The 2.5 turbocharged would be nice

 

[josh]

All rumors point to an engine carryover.

 

[Kool Keith]

it kinda of funny that there going from 2.4 to a 2.5 and not that much of a power increase......
