Bought me a new ride. 2010 Mazdaspeed 3

[Kroze]

As promised, took some pics of my purchase last night. 2010 Mazdaspeed 3!

This thing is one fast little rocket. Took delivery with it having only 5 miles and now it's up to 48 :bigthumb:. You get a whole lot for such a small price compare to the competition. The car is loaded with features that you won't get from the competition. No wonder it's consistently rated best sport compact car out there.

Bluetooth & MP3/WMA CD player - Work flawlessly with my iphone
6 Speed
Limited Slip Differential
Power Windows/Locks
Keyless entry
ABS
Tire pressure monitor
Front & rear disc brakes
Did I mention fast? The car have torque at every gear.

nice. i wish the speed3 was around in 2006. i would have picked that over my 6 hatch. i was looking at the speed6, but was turned off by the serious lack of storage capacity.

Trade in your mazda 6 hatchback for this :awe:

I traded my 09 Honda Fit Sport for it and it's a world of fun difference.

Nice car! I think they may have overdone some of the styling on the 2010 model, but this is a whale of a car for the money and should provide years of reliable driving excitement.

Congrats.

That NAV screen/smiley face/interior/torque steer....nevermind.

Really dumb that you can't get HID's anymore, one of the only times in recent memory where a manufacturer removed an option on their next gen of cars - yet still offer it in a lower model.

Add some fangs to that smiling car.

 

[fbrdphreak]

Congrats, that's a sweet little car.

I took out a previous-gen speed3 when I was shopping for my Legacy. It was just a little too pricey new and a bit boy racer for me, but still a very nice ride!

 

[LOUISSSSS]

congrats, beautiful and fast car!

i love it

 

[adlep]

I hate you.
.....
I mean congrats...

 

[amdhunter]

lol, the smiley faces of the new Madza line is great. I wish they made a speed3 sedan.

congrats on the new car... it seems very happy to see you =P
I hope you got a decent trade-in value on the Fit... sounds like it was brand new as an 09 model~

nice car. wish the 10s were out back when i had to buy mine. a couple were on the lot but they were destined for the auto show and i couldn't wait.



the first thing this forum needs is an image resizer. srsly

Grats! I love mine too. I have so much fun in it. When you wake up and it's a terrible day, I just put my foot down and I feel better. It's a great little car. Had to get mine in blue though.

edit: torque steer in 1st and 2nd keeps you on your toes

 

[PlasmaBomb]

Looks great

I'm not knocking on the Speed3 cus it's a great car but what Mazda did to the new 3 and changed the front-end, it's ugly as hell.

I just drove past a Mazda dealership and the line of cars smiling at me as I drove past made me want to punch someone in the face...

How's the insurance on one of these?

 

[cardiac]

How is the front seat room? I am a very big guy and like to stretch out..

Awesome ride BTW.....

It's going to be different with everyone. Depends where you live, your age, and record. It's a boy racer car so it's going to be higher than a regular Mazda 3.

How's the insurance on one of these?

It's a Sport COMPACT. It fit me like a glove & the car handle great!

You should get an american muscle car if you want some room.

Not me, everytime i see the car I smiled. It's just too fun to zip around in.

I could have gotten that color for $22,757. They said it's on sale based on the color

 

[ballmode]

any reason why you picked that car over a WRX or Lancer Ralliart?
