Review: 2010 Mazdaspeed3
This past September, we were fortunate enough to spend a week with the 2010 Mazda3 and were very pleased to say the least. The Japanese carmaker’s compact offering is practical, fuel-efficient, modestly priced, and drives much better than most of its competition. With this in mind, it was with great excitement that we got behind the wheel of the 2010 Mazdaspeed3, a high-performance version of the Mazda3 that competes with the likes Volkswagen (VLKAY 30.76 ↑3.01%) GTI (20.61 ↓-0.67%), Subaru Impreza WRX 5- door, Honda (HMC 38.20 ↑1.41%) Civic SI and the Mitsubishi (MTU 4.87 ↑1.04%) Lancer Sportback Ralliart.

Despite the powertrain being left virtually untouched, the 2010 Mazdaspeed3 sees some significant improvement over the previous generation which improve the hot-hatchback overall. Also upgraded for the 2010 model year however, is the Volkswagen GTI, a staunch competitor to the Mazdaspeed3. We’ll take a look at how the two measure up against each other during our review.
