Miles Overview
The Mazdaspeed3 is the hot hatch version of the regular Mazda3, built to take on the Subaru WRX and Volkswagen GTI. The hatchback body gives you a useful cargo area, though the rear seats don't fold completely flat, which limits some bulky loads. Owners note that the variable valve timing and timing chain may need attention after 100,000 miles, and the sway bar bushings can squeak as they age. Its 2.3L I4 makes 263 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque, sent through the six-speed manual to the front wheels, which means you'll feel the torque steer under hard acceleration. The suspension is stiff and the steering is quick, so you get sharp cornering at the cost of a firmer ride over rough pavement.
