I love the amazing handling in the twisties and it's incredible power that keeps on coming. It's also a bit of a sleeper which is great for flying under the radar.

There's too much front wheel steer on bumpy roads.

Speed, of course! Oh yeah, it's also practical.
Cons: How would you improve 2007 Mazda MAZDASPEED3?
Offer HID headlights and an alarm system as customer options for the sport trim package. I don't think these items would be a problem for a dealer to do in his shop.
2007 Mazda MAZDASPEED3 Review:
I have 4000 miles on my MS3 sport model and so far I am extremely pleased with it. It is a very satisfying car to drive, plenty of power and very good handling characteristics. Some people have complained about the noise level but it is actually pretty low for a car with this kind of performance, especially considering the price point. Mazda has done their homework on this one and it shows.

2007 Mazda MAZDASPEED3 Review:
Overall I have really enjoyed my Speed3 so far.
I have heard some disturbing talk about a weak transmission mount but I have yet to have any problems. I love the acceleration and space.

2007 Mazda MAZDASPEED3 Review:
For the money, the best car on the road for people who like to drive and also pay attention when they drive. Not for people who like to talk on the cell phone or drive with their knees!! Car is too powerful for the average driver. Only a true driver could appreciate this machine!

Too many great things to mention, but walking on eggshels at the dealer, not to lose my chance to get a GT. No haggling color Navagation I really wanted, but mand all that handling, power, and still some cargo room! Bad though.. That 40-50 hp/(torque) upgrade my local parts dealer seems to have heard absolutely nothing about, a turbo boost guage sorely missed, an incredibly terrible shifter so stone age It came off its" moorings trying to get it into 2nd and 4th gear when cold. This is a fatal engeneering flaw, Mazda can do better and has, to wit my 17 year old Miata and dozens of thousands of the most perfect shifter this side of a formula 1 and we get this vague NeanderthatStick that in most cars has a hard time figuring out 1st from 3rd. I really hate this aspect of the car and a seat belt that never retract and has the seat belt idiot light now 3 months perpetually on even though it didn,t retract for 3 weeks and I hand feed it back now going on 3 months. Other than that I love the mother to death... And where is that dealer horsepower, warrenty-kosherupgrades materializing? Anyone Know? PS, my 12 PSI Redone chassis,$6,000 turbocharcharged, 1990 Miata with all Mods done in 1994 runs circles around the mazdaspeed3 in Accelleration, passing __-__, and Gs on a Track Mazda has to Try harder. wHAT HAPPENED TO THE 3RD RX-7? My Miata is real close and indestructible, the Mazdaspeed shows what they can do now lrts ask for what the next level should have been 29 years ago not just a consolation for what should have been a ride/drive reading your mind true Viceral,all senses, seat of your pants car and driver as onesynergystic modern day corvette 20 years from now drive for $30K A 240z revolution not 300z fat cow for complacent 8 cupholder Ipod, cellphone and"cocommittant", Driving enthuiast. Lets ask for More!
