Used Mazda Mazdaspeed3 for Sale

This car was built with top-notch quality. I've put 170,000 miles on it, and it's run strong with primarily basic maintenance. For a hot-hatch performance car, it easily transitions into a highway commuter averaging me between 25-28 miles to the gallon. I genuinely believe that it can't be beat for the dollar value; it's the full package. Performance, utility, economy and styling. The hidden gem amongst all hot hatches.

Overall the car drives alright. Having driven several others as a valet, and especially some luxury brands, this particular car falls in the middle range for drivability. It is quick on the pick up, slightly jerky between gears, and the brakes are touchy. The economy of the gas mileage is the biggest benefit, however, and it is a decently smooth ride.

This is a very nice car with a very reasonable price. The car's silhouette is very pleasing to the eye. It has a six-speed manual transmission that feels very exact and satisfying. It has great acceleration and a sporty feel. It feels stable and responsive. It has two USB slots and a "cigarette lighter" charging slot, which all come in handy. When driving on a highway there is some outside noise but that can be drowned out by increasing the radio/CD volume. The doors/trunk don't close as easily and smoothly as I would have liked, but require a bit of force. For highway driving, the gas mileage is pretty good; less so for in-town driving. The engine feels powerful and looks well-organized when you open the hood. Breaks work great. On very hot days the AC takes a little while to kick in, but once it does it works great.
