2007 Mazda MazdaSpeed3 consumer reviews

I LOVE my 2007 MS3. Bought it new and have had the wildest 16 years of bombin' around. Only about $800 in tickets so far ... cheaper than my Mustang. After the last upgrades, I have turned in sub 5 sec 0-60 times. only 50,000km on this little rocket too. I'll never sell it ...I think I'll get buried in this thing.

I love the look of the car. It is quick but not to start. Wish it came with a bigger engine. Never had a red car.

Wow! That was the 1st thing that came to mind when I drove it for the first time at the dealer. I was reluctant to buy such a powerful FWD car with the intention of keeping it for about 10 years. But boy has it been fun. This car never gave me any major issues. Extremely fun to drive and very fast. The perfect sleeper. Much kudos to Mazda for going all in and building this thing.

I think this car is a great car if your looking for performance in a go kart. The car handles great and its really comfortable

This car was a blast to own. I drove it daily for 2 years and it never got old. The turbo whistle, the exhaust, the acceleration, all made just diving to get some milk a truly enjoyable experience.

this car was the most fun i could have had in a car at this price range, i loved the performance and the sleeper body stylings.

Just recently parted with my Mazdaspeed3.... after 10 tears and 100,000 miles it was time to move on. Hands down, this is the best car I ever owned. A cool looking little hatch, unassuming, ridiculously quick AND capable of taking the whole family on road trips (with the dog!). Just a great little car that was so fun to drive. I'll miss that exhaust note...

Great little speeder and commuter! If you like something that'll get you to A to B and still get 24 MPG, but still want something that can zoom fast, this is a great alternative! If you're into car culture and wish to tune, this is a living platform to mod. Wish Mazda would come out with a gen 3 or gen 4 speed, however, this is a great, reliable car until then. Head over to the Mazdaspeed forums for detailed things to check for before purchasing. Many are kept up very well, but there will always be some that care less about their property, and thus, an unkept speed.

I loved my Mazdaspeed 3. My Mazda has over 90k miles and not one major problem. It handles very well with a nice set of tires and the interior quality is very comfortable. The car has a ton of power but also if driven at low RPM's can save you some gas. Mazda really should bring this car back.

You'll love this car if you don't want to look like a racer yet you are a sports car enthusiast. 2 things to watch for if you are buying over 70,000 miles. 1 - cold start up rattles - search online for videos of what that sounds like. Mazda fixes the issue at no cost if you have less than 70,000 miles. Issue results from a fail VVT actuator. Basically it's what tensions the valve timing chain. Costs approximately $1400.00. 2 - smoking turbo after idling for several minutes This too is fixed by Mazda if vehicle is under 70,000 miles. Research Mazdaspeed forums on the web.
