2008 Mazda MazdaSpeed3 Overview

Introduction

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. It comes standard with a six-speed manual transmission, limited-slip differential, stability and traction control and 215/45YR18 tires. Side- and head-protection airbags are standard. There are two versions of the Mazdaspeed3, Sport and Grand Touring, the latter adds rain-sensing windshield wipers, xenon headlights, Bose audio, leather seats and an optional navigation system to the extensive list of standard equipment.

The Mazdaspeed3 carries over from 2007 with little to no change.
