Miles Overview
The Mazdaspeed3 is the hot-hatch version of the Mazda3, a front-drive five-door built to put a grin on your face without emptying your wallet. It's a blast to drive, with sharp handling and strong acceleration that make it feel more like a sports car than a practical hatchback. The cabin is snug but well laid out, and the hatchback body gives you plenty of room for gear or a family's worth of groceries. A few owners have noted the front bumper can come loose and the spoiler can rattle, but these are minor quirks in an otherwise dependable car. A limited-slip differential and a stronger engine set the Mazdaspeed3 apart from the standard Mazda3, making it the enthusiast's choice in the lineup. The 2.3L pairs with the manual transmission and front-wheel drive to deliver eager acceleration and a connected feel that rewards a skilled driver. The Mazdaspeed3's stiffer suspension and quicker steering make it sharper than the standard hatchback, but the ride is noticeably firmer on rough roads.
