The 2010 MazdaSpeed3 – Even More Awesome!
Apr 15th, 2009 by Thomas Rosquin
The first generation MazdaSpeed3 made all kinds of waves and was a favorite among all the automotive magazines. For the low price (under $25k) you got all kinds of great stuff including turbo power. Over 263-hp, lowered stance, bigger brakes, and a limited-slip were all included in the first generation MazdaSpeed 3!
Well now rumors and photos are a flying. The 2010 version of the MazdaSpeed 3 builds on the great foundation of its predecessor. The engine displacement will grow to 2.5L, the same as the Subaru STi. So you can bet horsepower will also increase. Another idea taken from the Subaru camp is the addition of a hood scoop to direct cold air to the intake. The drivetrain remains a secret but is there is an AWD version available; you can bet I will be all over that!

2010 Mazda Speed 3. Awesome but you just ruined my day. Now I know how a drug addict must feel. I’ve got to, need to have it. Who needs sleep when you can get a second job!!
the 2010 mazdaspeed 3 will have the same engine as the current 2009 model. Same 2.3L 263HP.
Go Mazda
. Consistently the most bang for a teenage boy’s buck … perhaps they should have a bit more of a safety focus, given their primary market! I’d still like to see the return of the rotary engine, though. I don’t know how it has been missed in the green revolution – more power for less fuel means that if you scale down the insanity of the engine, it’s quite efficient 
This is the first that I have heard of this model, and wow a Mazda that has a turbo who would have thought? “Over 263-hp, lowered stance, bigger brakes, and a limited-slip were all included in the first generation MazdaSpeed 3!” this is a lot of speed for a car like this and I would love to test drive this baby!!!
