2008 Mazda MAZDASPEED3 Review:
It is a car where you deserve respect.
Talking about respect, it is gained when everybody knows the little mazda can overtake most cars on the streets, with no mods, just plane stock in a amazing 5.5 seconds from 0 to 62mph.
A very spacious and comfortable seating.
Nice bose speakers that blast your music.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Mazda MAZDASPEED3?
power, handling, and quality that comes in a 20,000 price range.
Cons: How would you improve 2008 Mazda MAZDASPEED3?
bigger inter-cooler,make it front mount, heat rises not so good sitting on top of that motor. Don't know about that Hitachi turbo. Needs boost gauge, would like to have a turbo timer built in, and would love full boost avalible with dsc off in all gears.
2008 Mazda MAZDASPEED3 Review:
Good all around car, more comfortable than my 05 srt-4 acr. Cabin is designed well. I do like this car as a sport touring car and a everyday driver. I could see myself taking long trips with it. How ever after driving my srt, I find the speed3 lacking a little on raw nasty power and handling. I'm sure some speed parts will take care of this though.

I like the fact that it's an affordable performance everyday car and the interior is relatively quiet and comfortable.
Cons: How would you improve 2008 Mazda MAZDASPEED3?
The advertisement from your dealership would lead you to believe that the GT comes with heated seats. I'm dissappointed that the speed3 GT is without. I'm currently in the process of purchasing a 2008 speed3 GT.
