Mazdaspeed 3

I had a 2008 MazdaSpeed 3 GT, no complaints. It got close to 30MPG if you kept your foot out of it on the highway and low to mid 20's around town. My biggest problem with the car was psychological; I felt like I always had to win the stop light to stop light contests with other drivers of the same mindset. Torque steer is an issue if your not prepared, even though it is torque limited in 1st & 2nd gear. Excellent seats and great Bose sound system for long trips. Highly recommended bang for the buck.
