The Mazdaspeed 3 (US name) has a ton of tuning potential, too. With full bolt-ons, a mild turbo upgrade (like the BNR S3), and a solid E25 tune, you can reliably make 380/380 @ the wheels. All of this for just a few grand. GREAT bang for the buck.

I have a 2010 Mazdaspeed 3, it's completely stock, and may I say that is by far the best handling hatch I've ever driven. It's got tons of power (263) and it's geared very well. It's by far the best bang for your buck you can get in the hot hatch world. It has a few flaws, it can sometimes have turbo seal problems and the aftermarket for it isn't as good as most other cars. I totally recommend it to anyone thinking about buying it. It puts a smile on my face 24/7

Just got my very first car, I’m 18 and have worked and saved up and got myself the 2011 Mazda 3 mps series 1 luxury model for a bargain on gumtree. With a brand new engine replacement and turbo replacement both stock for mps, due to the previous owner when she got the car serviced they screwed the oil filter which poured all over the engine. So they replaced it with a stock brand new mps turbo and engine which has only done 31000km. I’m in love with the mps

I really enjoy these short, informative videos with cheaper older cars, surely every other Petrolhead loves nothing better than setting a budget for a certain car, finding what you want then rapidly increasing that budget with "if I stopped paying for that, did this," type maths then ending up in a lifetime of debt (in theory).

Anyone who acts like a badge snob around Kia and Hyundai’s are daft when you look at how far they’ve come over the past few years it’s clear that that know what they’re doing. I’ve driven plenty as I’ve worked with them and they’re great cars, well built and nicely finished as well the Cee’d gt is definitely underpowered and has the wrong engine but my hope is that with the Stinger coming and the i30N that Kia will follow suit.

If you want a coupe, check the upcoming Kia Stinger. All the GT trims come standard with a twin-turbo V6, and that's starting similar to the Focus RS. There's cheaper trims, but really... Why?

❤The Mazdaspeed Mps❤

Fuck yeah! Glad to see somebody did a video like this. My MS3 (EU= MPS NA= MS3) is my favorite DD I've ever had. I ought to upload recent videos since I've done a lot of work to it, but man oh man... I'll be straight up with you guys, every time I sit down in that car it tries to kill me. The torque steer is insane, but I LOVE it. When you're getting on it you should have both hands on the wheel, or at least a firm grip anyways, so you don't have to actually wrestle with the steering wheel. The only time you have to is if you have a weak grip or you're holding the wheel on top with one hand. This car is a blast to DD. If anybody out there is looking to buy one, or has one but hasn't modded it yet I highly suggest you do. The driving experience is amazing. With all 3 motor mounts upgraded, a balance shaft delete, and a lightweight flywheel the vibrations and noise in the cabin is pretty loud, on the highway you have to raise your voice to talk to people. BUT WAIT! That's not the end of the world! Throw dynamat (or another brand of your preference) in your car and the noise and vibrations are mostly gone. The only vibrations you will feel are in the steering wheel, shifter, and pedals, but not in a bad overwhelming way. Feeling the vibrations in the wheel and shifter make you feel so connected to your car, and the road. Personally I prefer that. With the 3 motor mounts, BSD, and lightweight flywheel the power planted to the ground is absolutely superb. The responsiveness is THERE. No lag, no stutter, it's like having drive-by-wire throttle. I've driven all the hatchbacks available, ended up being torn between the MS3 and STI, the ST was rather boring, felt too controlled. tl;dr MS3 is like an untamed beast that loves to drive and take it hard. If you buy one, take care of it and it'll take care of you.

I personaly want more episodes of Awesome Affordable Cars

To me mazda 3 still looks somehow more fresh than hyundai.

I actually like the Mazda more.

It's actually got more in common with the ford focus RS as they share the same engine but the RS has been modified by ford to have an open deck design and some more modern mapping and turbo goodies. The torque limitation on the MPS' is purely to protect the rods from bending as boost comes on. The torque is too high for the rods in 2nd and 3rd gear especially. For those wanting a more refined and practical car with 4WD, get the mazda 3's older brother, the mazda 6 MPS. I've got one....seriously, best £3,000 I ever spent 👍

Nice! I own a Mazda 3 mps, and it rocks! Only downside: 9 liters of 98 ocatane...

@@MarcGismondi The 2.3 MZR is just a bit weak even NA without the turbo, combine that with a awful fuel pump and they very easily go bang. With only a few decent tuners out there the majority of people wont maintain them properly and they will break. Its a high performance Mazda and much like the Rotaries, maintenance is key. Saying that though they can be unbelievably solid, currently at 160k Miles and its only had 1 Chain Replacement.

I️ had a 1st gen Speed3 (MPS) and its an amazing car. Responds well to mods, just make sure the VVT actuator was replaced after the recall lol

Wife has a 2012 Mazda3 Skyactiv (same engine as current Mx5). No power, but with good tires, the thing is a go kart around a curvy road.

You’re representing me now. What you think, I’m gonna let you roll in a Hyundai?

Casey Lopez it’s all wheel drive, but it’s an active system so most of the time it will be front wheel drive.

Stephen Avery My brother had a Speed6 (the MPS), it was probably the one he bought but the thing was an absolute piece of shit. I love the car a lot, and I really hope it was his specific one that was awful and fucked up because frankly someday I want to buy one myself

Coming from an upgraded light 90's sports car (turbo awd eagle talon), even the regular/non-turbo mazda 3's are a lot fun. Rain, snow, wet, ... offroad!, my talon was more capable in nearly every way, but I moved away from the wet windy roads, and driving it in town is kinda boring. The mazda is fun even in town. If you are like me and want something fun every time you drive it, get one. They are nimble, like to peel out tires, just enough torque steer to be fun but also controllable, and surprisingly well behaved on snow. I can haul friends for a beach trip ('06 hot-hatch version), and I don't care about fuel prices, because I typically drive it like I hate my tires and still get ~32MPG. Mine's grandfathered in without having annoying tire pressure sensors, and I don't have any stupid-expensive variable speed water pump to replace.

That red Mk1 MPS is sooo beautiful

We need the i40n

Chacalx98EVO can you imagine i10n 😂

The speed3 is an awesome car but sadly its so underrated and unknown :(

To all those pro's saying it's just a hyundai...the N was testet and developed on the Nürburgring with actual race drivers. The guy behind the "N" (Albert Biermann) was a former engineer at BMW M GmbH. This car is absolute madness on the road.

Finally! Some love for the Mazdaspeed3/MPS on this channel. BUT!....... it should have been a GenWon.

308 gti ❤️

The amount of badge snobs here ffs Give credit where it's due

Bought a 2012 Mazdaspeed 3 (MPS) off the lot brand new, without even driving it... Yes I'm crazy... 51000 km and almost 6 years later... Four seasons driven (Canada)... No regrets, still love it 😆. (The 'N' looks cool too, no hate, 'k?)

Great video, Stewie.
