The new Mazdaspeed3 landed in the U.S. in mid-September and its sensational. Employing the same 2.3-liter turbo four as the Mazdaspeed 6, but with retuned intake and exhaust systems, and a modified ECU that reduces torque levels in 1st through 3rd gears, this super-Mazda generates 264 hp at 5,500 rpm and 280 lb-ft of torque at 3,000 rpm. That translates into a rather quick 0-60-mph time of 6.1 seconds and more fun than a Slippery-Slide on a hot mid-summer day.
Watch the video review as Kurt sums up the character of this fun hatch and cranks up the boost along the way.
A full review is forthcoming, but we wrote up our first impressions of this "ticket-me-now" red speedster. Click on the link to read more tasty tidbits about the Mazdaspeed3.
