2010 Mazda Mazdaspeed 3
As its staid sedan and hatchback sibling, the latest iteration of the Mazdaspeed 3 is far from revolutionary. In fact, most changes are cosmetic, including new wide-eyed front fascia, rear lights and revised hatch and a new hood scoop.
Evolutionary also applies to what is under the hood. The turbocharged 2.3 liter I-4 in the last generation Mazdaspeed 3 soldiers in the 2010 model, producing the same 260 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque. Similarly, there are only projecting a six-speed manual transmission, routing power to the front wheels.
Yet, there are some things to love about the latest compact Mazdaspeed. To start, the car benefits from additional chassis adjustments, including new reinforcements in the firewall and tunnel body to add rigidity. Mazda claims the new half trees have been designed to reduce torque steer, and new 18-inch wheels, along the lines of those of the RX-8, are able to manage larger Dunlop 225/40R18 rubber.
And there is also the question of the car on the inside. While the previous 3 cabin was not intolerable, the new car of living quarters are a great improvement. The dashboard is both enveloping and sophisticated black and is highlighted by the red carbon fiber accents. This theme continues with the seating plan, which covers the skin of black leather with red stitching.
Although May does not represent a quantum leap in power, the 2010 Mazdaspeed 3 mixtures with further improvements already a powerful performance car. We can not wait to get our hands on one when he arrives in the United States later this year.
