The 2008 Mazda MAZDASPEED3 is a limited edition, high performance version of the Mazda 3 in its hatchback form. Differentiating the version from the rest of the lineup is its higher and wider domed hood, which accommodates the MAZDASPEED3's turbocharged engine. The sharp looking, impressive handling and affordably priced MAZDASPEED3 was introduced for the 2007 model year and has received no significant changes for 2008.
The front wheel drive MAZDASPEED3 is equipped with a 263 horsepower, turbocharged 2.3 liter 4 cylinder engine. Its sole transmission is a 6 speed manual and a limited slip differential and electronic torque limiter help to improve traction and provide smooth gear changes. Exhilaration thrives as the MAZDASPEED3 sprints from 0 to 60 in only 5.9 seconds, but all that power will only take you 18 miles per gallon of gas in the city and 26 mpg on the highway at best.
This sporty economy car is available in Sport and Grand Touring trim levels. The Sport comes well equipped to take you on an entertaining journey with 18 inch alloy wheels, high performance Bridgestone tires and an AM/FM/CD stereo with audio jack. In addition to all the features of the Sport, the MAZDASPEED3 Grand Touring adds rain-sensing wipers, an anti theft system, xenon HID headlights, LED taillights, leather upholstery, a trip computer and an upgraded Bose audio system with in-dash CD changer. Of the few options available, the most sought after include a navigation system and satellite radio.
For a base price of under $25,000, the MAZDASPEED3 combines serious speed and impressive reflexes with the practicality of a hatchback. The sport chic cabin features a high quality fit and finish that offers all occupants plenty of head and leg room and also offers 31 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seat folded down and 17 cubic feet with the seat in the upright position. For driving enthusiasts on a budget, the MAZDASPEED3 should be on the top of the test drive list.
