Why the 2012 Mazda MazdaSpeed3?

Interior styling

One of the best interiors for a small, compact econo-car. Second only to the GTI

Powertrain performance

The motor is strong and the "punch" is there. With 6 gears it lets you cruise in relatively peace when needed too.

Ride smoothness

Much more livable than a WRX. Less body roll and more control but slightly firmer.

Quietness

The extra gear, less power train noise and additional sound dampening really help make it a good daily driver.

Feature availability

the Bose sounds good for an OEM system. Interior is well built, high quality. the displays are crisp and have useful info.
