The Mazdaspeed3 is the high-powered, performance-tuned version of the Mazda3 hatchback.

The Mazdaspeed3 is a true "hot-hatch", featuring a 263-hp, turbocharged, 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine. To keep all that power under control, it's standard with a six-speed manual transmission, limited-slip differential, a torque management system, electronic stability and traction control, 18-inch wheels and tires and sport-tuned suspension. Safety features include six airbags, four-wheel anti-lock brakes with brake assist, active anti-whiplash front head restraints and an engine immobilizer system. For those needing more creature comforts, an optional tech package includes a single CD, 10-speaker BOSE audio system, navigation, satellite radio, adaptive bi-xenon headlights, advanced keyless entry with push button start and a perimeter alarm.

For 2012, the Mazdaspeed3 receives a slight front and rear fascia refresh. Also, a single CD, 10-speaker BOSE audio system is now standard equipment.
