Sep 5, 2008 - You guys don't know shit! I own a speed 3 and I stomp on cars that cost 3 times as much!! Don't knock it til' you drive it fellas. Remember, deception is the point.

Sep 6, 2008 - What a boring review. I've never noticed the key release button from day one. My thumb hits it just right. Heck, my old 91 Mustang GT required you to push a button *under* the steering column to get the key out. Should be noted the navigation system is an option.

Sep 8, 2008 - the gas mileage is pretty bad

lujoebonjo Says:

Sep 13, 2008 - no it isn't, its higher than stated and compare that mileage to any other 270hp car.

lujoebonjo Says:

Sep 13, 2008 - both those cars cost 10k more, and yeah this car is fast as hell, beats both those at 40mph pulls.

sssdfrfwrgr Says:

Sep 13, 2008 - still prefer an sti. or gti.they are faster.

sssdfrfwrgr Says:

Sep 13, 2008 - and i think you mean it beats the impreza wrx. not sti.

Sep 13, 2008 - The button to push to remove the key is weird the first time. It was maybe 4-5 times later i did'nt realize i was doing it. So it's not an issue at all.

Sep 24, 2008 - im gettin just shy of 35mpg highway but my mods help huge. but my city mpg would be around the same , maybe 20

Oct 3, 2008 - This car rocks, the only thing that concerns me is if your going to buy a performance vehicle it should atleast be RWD and best if AWD, but FWD performance is good enough in day to day driving.

Luisnmoni Says:

Oct 12, 2008 - One of the main reasons for FWD is the weight issue. RWD and AWD componentry would increase the weight and price substantially. I think you'd agree this car is still the best for the money.

RaceMeMZ3 Says:

Oct 15, 2008 - The key release button is still used in other cars like certain Hondas, it's not that weird.....

N6600 Says:

Oct 23, 2008 - what's the diff between sti and wrx?

sssdfrfwrgr Says:

Oct 23, 2008 - the wrx sti is a hell of a lot faster than the normal wrx.

N6600 Says:

Oct 24, 2008 - thanks bro.

For the same price or less you can get a brand new 2009 V6 Camaro which will turn heads everwhere you go. Someone got a hold of a 2009 Camaro and was driving through the mall parking lot. Everybody just stopped dead in their tracks and stared. The Camaro does 0-60 mph in 6.1 seconds, and has 300 horsepower. So it's about the same speed as the Mazda Speed 3.

tubegangsta Says:

Nov 2, 2008 - sti makes like 300hp while the wrx makes 230hp? something around that.

tubegangsta Says:

Nov 2, 2008 - the camaro does 0-60mph in 6.1seconds with 300 horsepower? wow, that's pretty crappy. BMW can make the 328i go 0-60 in around the same time with 230hp. Oh, and not all of us like domestics. It's a racial thing really. You don't see asian guys driving in corvettes and white guys driving in camrys

cougar1233 Says:

Nov 2, 2008 - whatever you say

todor15 Says:

Nov 7, 2008 - yea try 5.5 0-60 if u drive well(thats on the ms3)....6.1 and mid 5 is a big difference buddy :)

cougar1233 Says:

Nov 7, 2008 - The thing is man, you have to beat the hell out of a Mazda Speed 3 to get it to run 5.5 seconds at 0-60 mph. Motor trend rates Mazda at 6.0 seconds for Mazda speed 3 at 0-60 mph. And come on, the Camaro is million times better looking thyan the Mazda speed 3. I don't own a Camaro. I don't want to go into debt, so I'm not buying any new cars right now.

todor15 Says:

Nov 9, 2008 - all u gotta do is floor it and quickshift to get there...thats not beating it, thats just having fun :)...and if u get a ms3 to be 300 horses it will be raping camaros all day
