  • Thanks for posting. Please check out our newly updated channel, and subscribe.

  • I had an '07 Mazdaspeed 3 from the first production run and it was a fuckin' beast! True red and everyone one wanted to race me! The car is fast as hell for the money ($32,600.00, tax and p.d.i. included). Anyone talking shit has no fuckin' clue! At the time it was the world's fastest fwd production car out there...that pretty much says it all.

  • the front is so ugly, looks like ronald Macdonald

  • it looks good and mean!

  • i agree. Its got a cunning smile.

  • so why does this car look like it is smiling lmao. they made it look so ugly

  • @miamicanes561 I guess you have a corolla...thaaaat's ugly...

  • idiotic video

  • 2008 is equal to subaru impreza wrx sti 2008

  • cept that u payed 35,000 more for ur m3 and the ms3 probly was parked. lol

  • my channel is full of the latest info on the 2010 auto show and what's gonna happen to saab and pontiac now that they're for sale.

  • anyone have an exact release date? ill be looking into getting into one around september

  • They're going to be in mazda dealerships in the US next month! :]

  • there out now you can build one on mazdas site

  • your mad cause you overpaid for you subaru and you got pwned!

  • lol most likely....I mean who wants a performance vehicle such as the STI with its 300hp AWD when you can get the 2010 MS3!!! 265hp with FWD and a car with a grille thats smiling at you....my moneys on the clown car MS3

  • that comment was drenched in sarcasm...and i like it. STI hands down versus this happy piece of shit.

  • STI? Sexually Transmitted Infection?

  • lightning mcqueen

  • wow, they finally got smart and put a hood scoop on it. now that intercooler can breathe!! haha sick car :-)

  • A devilish looking little car. Interesting but why does it have to be despiteful looking?

  • were is the zoom zoom kid?

  • He died, no joke.

  • hatchback sucks

  • depends on everyone's point of view :)

  • Not if you want a hatchback that's really fast.

  • looked like michael bay directed this.

  • who gives a damn about STI??? or I should say subaro??? Just wait for this car to hit the streets..you'll forget about the STI.

  • i already forgot aout subaro when the first mazdaspeed3 came out. there the shit

  • Test this with an STI. Look, I like the Mazda too, I really do, but it can not compete with the STI. The WRX, yes but the STI, no.

  • The STI is also almost 10k more expensive with a shitty interior compared to the speed3. Its also not that much better performance wise.

  • Agreed, they are killing what was originally a great design. It doesn't even look like a Mazda3 anymore.

  • And although the WRX wears snazzy red-painted calipers that use three times the number of pistons, it was the Mazdaspeed that offered superior brake feel and performance, halting from 60 to 0 mph in 111 feet.

  • The WRX or the WRX STI?

  • Around our figure-eight course, a telling test of handling and braking, the WRX clocked a time of 27.1 sec at 0.64 g average, again no match for the 3s 26.6-second at 0.69g average. Circumnavigating the skidpad, the Mazda held on for 0.86 g of lateral gripbetter than that of a Lexus IS 350once more outgunning the Subies stickiness of 0.80 g.

  • Through the slalom, the WRX posted a speed of 63.4 mph, well behind the Mazdas 68.6, a pace that betters that of the BMW 330i, Infiniti G35, and Jaguar XK.

  • The WRX also trailed the Mazdaspeed in every handling test we conducted, evidence that the Subies softer suspenders, while providing a more supple on-road ride, were too spongy to match the taut dampers and springs on the 3, which still delivered a ride pleasant enough for everyday commuting.

  • Man, I used to work for Mazda and I remember when this car first came out...Killer. Does'nt need all wheel drive for handling 'cause it handles better than a wrx and evo. It will blow you back in your seat. The new one has more power, but only if they made a sedan.

  • LOL, it DOES NOT handle better than the Subaru OR the Mitsu, funny. It's a shame that someone would believe that. Take it out on the dirt roads if your brave enough. Or does the shine of the paint make you paranoid for that? However, it is quite the badass little Mazda indeed. I would like to take it out in the woods and see what it would do, since it supposedly 'handles' better than a Subaru. You do realize that's a colossal statement right? It simply CAN NOT be backed up. Period.

  • If you've seen any comparison tests done on normal roads (where most of us drive), there's plenty of proof right here on youtube that it handles better. As for the dirt roads, you can have them.

  • Right who the fuck races on dirt roads?

    A dog you wanna race.

    Hell yea boi, i know this sick dirt road we can fuck our cars up on.

  • I think it's a sport called rally racing..maybe you should look it up.

  • No shit sherlock,

    Im talking about street racing. Not that sanctioned crap. Im talking about, line your shit up and race in the middle of Los Angeles.

    Smart ass

  • Well, fortunately enough for me I'm not stupid enough to let my testosterone get the best of me in the middle of pedestrian, civilian laden traffic. I'll choose to keep it to the track. But with comments such as that, you can't expect anything but smart ass remarks. You get back what you put out, if you haven't heard that phrase before.

  • yo wildmandigging, you are a moron. it is not meant to be a rally car. just because it handles better than they other "rally" based cars doesnt mean that is is designed to go driving in the woods. and as far as the paint making me paranoid? im pretty sure if i spend over $30,000 on an sti or evo, regarless of how "well" it handles in the dirt, the last place you will find me is in the god damn woods messing it all up....

  • Yo dynodrew44 you are a moron. It's not God's fault. Take your GD and cram it up your ass you idiot. Subaru's were made for the woods, you simply could not handle one out there, so stay out here where it's 'safe' in your little Mazda you get so upset over. Cry me a freakn river while your at it.

  • wow, that was a great comeback.. is that the best you could think up given that short of time? i dont think you really understood my first comment. i mean yeah subies are designed to be out there with their strong AWD standard on every car and such, im not doubting that, but this is not mazdas attemp to make a rally based car. yeah, i agree with you that it wont handle as well on dirt as well as the subie, but on pavement, where the majority of the people would be driving one.. the MS3 has it

  • too bad Honda discontinued the Civic SIR hatchback . the new Mazda speed 3 looks sick i`m wondering how well it will do in performance and speed against the Honda Civic SIR

  • Any word on the release date? I don't feel like waiting for the NY show to hope they give a time frame to see them in dealers.

  • They're already out at Dealerships.

  • 2007-2009 MS3 ftw

  • just wait an extra year for the speed6 to come out, they wont be making the 3 and the 6 so evenly mated this time.

  • give it awd or rwd and ill by one hands down...but they wont

  • Mazda isn't trying to copy the STi or Evo. And their performance RWD vehicle is strictly excluded to the rotary bloodline. What Mazda has done is made something difinitively Mazda. Cars that have similar power won't have similar class, and vice versa. The Mazdaspeed3 has the market on hot hatches DOMINATED, and has done a lot for Mazda. It would ruin the Mazdaspeed3 if they converted it to RWD or AWD. It is THE FWD hatchback. End of story.

  • I'm not wild about the new goofy face-but if the upgrades make it a better version than the '09 is-then I'll consider it. Mazda-you need to make this hatch a AWD and give it at least 300hp, and do it for under 30 grand. That will upset a lot of WRX owners, but I do happen to like both the Speed3 and the WRX. A little competition isn't necessarily a bad thing, is it ?

  • mazda put the awd rumor to bed, they said the AWD system that COULD fit in the ms3 wouldnt be able to handle the power.

  • big smiley face front = fugly

  • I've just seen the actual 2010 Mazda 3. The MazdaSpeed 3 adds more performance, a big hood scoop, and a big rear spoiler.

  • I love this video! haha I cant stop watching it. :)

    Great job and keep it up!

  • yea i hear rumor bout the AWD as well i also heard rumors that its suppose to be faster then the sti and evo dunno if its true or not though but ill tell you you sumthing if its all true im not going to hesitate to trade in my 08 MS3

  • the awd claims are false, sorry to say. however the new speed 3 is gonna be designed to compete with the sti's and evo's of the world with a rumored turbocharged volvo 5 cylinder engine. i was gonna get an 09 but i'm waiting for sure

  • i heard that 5 cyl engine was not as good as the current engine in power

  • mazda has stated in car and driver and in road and track that the engine will stay the same 2.3l turbocharged inline 4 but horsepower is increased by the vented hood for the top mount and also re tuning of the ecu and the new higher flow dual exhaust. also the car can compete with the sti and evos but is not in the same class as mazda intended from the start and that is why its the best sport compact as tested by car and driver "dirty speed done dirt cheap" also best sport comp. 3 yrs in a row

  • Comment removed

  • How were you able to put all those pictures together? I want it to have a background like that, but I can never seem to get it together like that.

  • Wheres the damn zoom zoom kid?

  • here we are gonna see all current owners of speed 3 saying that the new one is ugly and not worth it, they are just jealous that a new and better speed 3 is coming!!!!

  • I wish that were true... Personally I wish they had made all the improvements but kept the design the same. I would be much more jealous if that were the case. The old design is superior.

  • Sweet, I was REALLY worried I might get Rick Rolled on this one.

  • I thought i saw a hood scoop... wow, attempting to be in subaru wrx and mitsubishi evo territory.

  • Comment removed

  • I hate the new 3 front bumper it looks like the car have "autism"

  • I heard rumors of AWD option too. I Hope it happens!

  • fwd

  • i hope it awd

  • fwd

  • Ugh, why, oh why is the Speed3 only in hatchback? I have a 4-dr sedan 3 and would totally consider upgrading to a Speed3 if it wasn't a hatchback.

  • If you want a regular sedan, try looking at the MazdaSpeed6. those are nice and aren't hatchback...

  • Because the rest of the world considers hatches sportier

  • smiley front bumper is kind of gayish. I think I will stick to my Current Mazdaspeed3 thank you.

  • Agreed !! The front bumper kills the car

  • I don;t like the rear looks like an UFO Civic and the rims are ugly as hell. I'll stick for the moment to my 08 MPS. Front bumber might be resdesinged too. Looks like a fking Peugeut 206

  • Aggreed, and I notice alot of maunufactures are doing this UFO look (ie Acura TL, TSX, etc etc) . The interior looks really good though

  • The interior is super in 3 MPS.

    I don't know what's with this UFo design everywhere, they really ask the consumers or they do this only for Japan market, it's all like a panda car, I hate that.
