2010 Mazdaspeed 3 in Florida (pics and review)

[Huligan]

i like it a lot.
i like black best, since it hides the awful smile... but the gray accents the sides nicely

 

[RODSCALIP5]

Yeah, side profile is the best :

those lips makes the car look so good.

hands down best looking mazdaspeed...

my opinion

but, one thing that bugs me is the sharp lines on the headlights (top corner).

...that aint silver is it? More like grey? I was actually appreciating the side shot and as I scrolled down the thread more as soon as I saw the ****** smile shots I was quickly disgusted.

Are the fender gaps bigger on the 2010 Speed3s? They look huge in comparison to the 08 & 09s.

dam where can i get that kit?!

Definitely looks like it sits higher. Didn't notice it much on the one I sat in on Saturday. Just came off the truck and in candy wrappers so I couldn't drive it. Going to test drive on Tuesday...the silver is really nice. (cool)

The front end everybody keeps having a heart-attack about isn't omg so horrendous in real life. It resembles an RX-8 and flows pretty nicely with the rest of the car. Overall, it’s nice but there’s not enough improvements per say (performance wise) to trade in a 1st GEN for one of these. What I liked most about the 10' is the clutch and shifting feel, everything else felt just like my 08' pretty much.

Silver is most tolerable color IMO for the Smiley Speed.

Silver looks good on that car...awesome ! Maybe consider powdercoating the wheels in a gunmetal type theme,think that would really blend well for the car.

I love the wheels, and I love the blue!

But I also love my 09 I just got, so it ain't going anywhere for a while...

Just wish they could've brought in the 2010 speed3 at around 2800 lbs.!
Would have been a true sports car then!

Lovin' my Liquid Silver that I picked up Thursday. I've only got about 120 miles on it but each one gets better and better. I'm very impressed with the flatness in cornering and how they've muted out some of the torque steer a little better than in my buddy's '07. I def agree that first gear feels slower but the other gears feel very strong (though I'm breaking it in so I havent fully got on it yet).

Overall, I agree with what others are saying that it looks a lot better in person than in pics...for whatever reason they just dont do it justice!

I read somewhere that the 10 ms3 is a bit slower in a start then the previous ms3. But in top end is where it taks the previous ms3.

Do the windows in the back roll all the way down in a way that the window doesnt stick out? lol

Nobody seems to mention how the dual exhaust sounds?
