2010 Mazda Speed 3 Auto Reviews with Mike West for Pacific Northwest's Automotive Marketplace

[georgibubu]

hahahaha.. bad drivers... then he burn out the clutch

[paulfenderply57]

Mazda has come a long way?? Have you ever heard of the RX-7 or maybe the fact Mazda is the only japanese auto company to win le mans 24 hour race overall with the 787b

A FD Rx7 would eat this car alive

[therookie93]

I would take it more seriously if it wasn't a hatch. The weight distribution is the worst feature of this otherwise great car.

[shawnspeed3]

Should be 5.8 0-60. At least my '08 does that or faster. The new smiley face is such a piece of shit!

[AgileMJOLNIR]

@shawnspeed3 I think it was Car & Driver and Motor Trend who were pulling a 5.5 or 5.6 on the 2010-2011 models on stock tires if I'm not mistaken.

@crazy4bb20 thanks

[mountain885]

Smily face u fagot u suck ass that car is a grear car u know u has a goffy look u do

[crazy4bb20]

@mountain885 awesome English

[desimunda116]

i love my civic si, 66 less bhp and same 0-60 time

[wdirr]

@desimunda116 The civic has a 0-60 of 6.9 seconds. The speed 3 does it in 5.8 seconds. That's a hell of a lot faster than any current civic in stock form. Good luck racing against a speed 3 with a driver that has a pulse. He will smite your ignorance handily.

[desimunda116]

@wdirr 6.9 is what Honda said but when review shows brought professional racers to test drive it, they hit 60 in 6.3 seconds just check online

[olgaa30]

@wdirr you guys shoud try the 2010 wrx!

[Astidcrisse]

@desimunda116 no, really not, last gen ms3 has been recorded many times between 5.5 and 5.8 seconds

nice driveway footage

[celticrej258]

what recalls ? I have the 2009 and prefer the sleeper look to the gaping mouth grill and boy racer hood scoop.

[desimunda116]

@celticrej258 same here i like the previous gen mazda 3 and i think sleepers are the best cars you can have.

[1AMcoolerTHANyou123]

these 2010's have had hundreds of recalls. i almost bought one until i researched and found tons of people going to the extent of the state lemon law.

[Morphd]

@1AMcoolerTHANyou123 what were they being recalled for?

[Plucky2035]

@1AMcoolerTHANyou123 : I have a 2010 and it only had one recall. I'm sure the tons of people going for the state lemon law, as you claim, is just you exaggerating.

[subversyv]

My mom owns a Bernina from 1983 .. sounds vaguely familiar to the 3.

[jnasay]

As soon as I saw the 2010 "upgrade" I went out and bought 2009. IMHO they flat out ruined the 2010 with the looks. I guess I've always liked a sleeper when it comes to cars.

[Kahngaidin]

agreed mate,I have a 2008.5 MS3 and no one is the wiser till the y are looking at my bumper,my buddy has a slightly modded R32 skyline and I can keep up with him in my stock MS3.alot of the guys didn't think the MS3 could do it,but they dont know the difference.263 hp? really? lol.

[master0255]

Not a good review

[JediFarce]

"There's the engine, beautiful."

....it doesn't sound beautiful, reminds me of a lawnmower engine.

[GeneralHoohah]

LOL, the front end of that car is hilarious! When I first saw news of it, I printed it out and put it up on the fridge. My entire family had a good chuckle. haha! Who the fuck designed that!? Its gotta be someone Japanese, honestly... A lot of people in that country have a very bizarre and often childish sense of humor.

I just test drove the Kia Forte Koup yesterday and didn't feel it till I tried the 2.4L. That car's a little bottle rocket, and you can't beat it for the price they wanted!

[JediFarce]

@GeneralHoohah

I don't know, it seems like the japanese designers have all gone blind or something. It's not just Mazda, the Acura TL used to be a pretty good looking car, after 2008 it's now hideous.

[kyb2005]

@jedifarce

Acura TL is American (specifically, California) designed!

[dre32pitt]

get it in black and that goofy grin turns into a devilish smile :)

[Razor0909]

@dre32pitt

thats why i have it in black :D

[hallis1]

@Razor0909

Same, I bought my 2011 MS3 in black. No smiley face :)

[scoobeydoooo]

The front grille is indeed over the limit but some colors bring that up more imo. But even so, as a total package nothing beats the Mazda 3 MPS/Mazdaspeed3 at the moment. As a WRX driver for the past 8 years I can say that I am going to be a proud MPS owner next week. My heart really wanted the 2010 WRX but my brain (which tends to be more logical :P) said the MPS was the right choice. But next time I will go WRX I feel like a traitor xD

@theSOUNDinterpreter yah.... wait.... wut????! was he being funny or did he mean speaker...?

[sexybutt420]

motorweek from baltimore md got 5.2 0-60 mph

[drburcham]

I dont have a 2010 but in my 2008 MS3 im getting better MPG then that. My best on the highway is 31.6 MPG and I average about 26-27 MPG. Im not sure what my city MPG is because iv never just drove around the city to get a proper calculation.
