Fun to Drive? Oh yeah!

This car is my daily driver here in the Northwest US. I looked at many different cars online and in magazines and decided on this one for the following reasons: 1) Fun to drive. 2) Good relability. 3) Reasonable Gas Mileage. 4) Limited slip differential. 5) Practicality of the hatchback design. The car came with good summer performance tires; a set of Continental DWS All Seasons gave it a little loss of handling but much quieter and slightly softer ride. The standard equipment and interior are excellent for the price.

Nice sports car

Bought new 2012 mazdaspeed 3 a month ago. Car drives amazing. Interior is nicely designed. its got more than enough power to keep up with the v8s. Only thing I don't enjoy that much is the suspension. It is a little harsh for daily use. Overall it's one of best sports car I have owned.
