Why Not the 2008 Mazda MazdaSpeed3?

Controls and instruments

Gauges were hard to read, particularly the speedometer. Transmission was very clunky compared to the Civic.

Fuel economy

Best case mileage is about as good as the worst case with the Civic. Between higher fuel and insurance costs, the total cost of ownership on the Speed3 made it not worth the extra money in spite of superior performance... to me

This review was originally a two-car comparison review. Read the other half here.
