Mazdaspeed3 in Car and Driver
They had a preview of the car and really seemed to like it. Their estimated performance figures are astonishing, however.
"Honed in Germany, the suspension and chassis package is terrific, and the ride quality and noise levels are surprisingly good. In short, this is a serious rival to the GTI, especially since Mazda claims it will be priced around $23,000 when it gois on sale this fall."
Performance ratings (C/D est):
Zero to 60mph...5.3sec
Standing 1/4 mile...13.9 sec
Top Speed (governor limited)...149mph
Wow.

The MS3 is said to be a pretty tight handled by all the reviews thus far and it has been mentioned that Mazdaspeed coilovers and forged rims are under development...

I suppose there is a market for cars that are as ugly as a mud fence as long as they can go fast enough.... I think we have some nitro powered tractors around here....
