For a few weeks now New Cars, Used Cars, Car Reviews and Pricing - Edmunds.com has had a video review of the 2010 MS3 via their "Inside Line" feature, but now the official typed review is available to read here 2010 Mazda MAZDASPEED3 Review and Specs. I have a test drive scheduled for this Friday and a good family friend works at the local Mazda dealer, so hopefully I can get a good deal!

good luck man! are you getting with tech package?

 

[djcuba908]

Yup definitely tech package, now I just have to figure out what color I want, blue or black.

 

[StitcH]

Definitely Black Mica :yes:

I'm a little biased, though

 

[Derrick_B]

No, CWP is the best! Oh wait, I forgot Mazda screwed us. Lol. Good luck at the dealer!

just to let you know i read through some posts around this forum that the navi sucked. just a heads up but make sure you like it before u buy it ^_^ sorry couldnt find the post.

 

[djcuba908]

Yeah I plan on taking time to check out the Navi to see just how user friendly it is. In my experience the Acura navi's and the navi in my mom's CX-9 are top notch, hopefully the MS3's navi is good too.

well as u can see that navi in there is not just small. its RIDICULOUSLY small lol. well thats just my opinion and i heard the signal wasnt so good. but i cant really judge since i didnt buy the tech package. but im sure the options are nice because u get all those voice commands and buttons on your steering wheel. take your time on it and dont rush!

I've never had an issue with the nav. It's small, yes, but I can read it just fine and it gets me where I need to go. It's not the best system around, but it's functional, which is all I needed. I'm happy with it.

I'd say get black, but if you like both equally and you'd prefer to have a more unique car, go with the rarer Celestial Blue.

Graphite Mica has HP boost serum I believe.. okay but seriously I rarely go for colorful cars so I say black, but get what you think looks best. Good luck with your test drive on Friday!

Regarding the navi - if you don't get it, you can't get the push button start either. So it's a toss up. I don't care about the navi, but really like the keyless ignition. So, for me - I'd go ahead and get.

Cons
Unavoidable torque steer, no sedan option.

I say the person doing the review MAN UP dont be a ti ti, torque steer is not that bad.

Love the car even more every day.

Haha, well I think edmunds had to find SOMETHING they didn't like about the car, just to be fair, since they rave about everything else in the rest of the review.
