The cx-30 turbo is a sleeper

I just sold mine. The I loved it and miss it already. The only problem was the 2nd gear synchros are notorious for going out.

So hard to find these clean tho 😭😭

I love mine I do want a v8 tho Camaro is probably going to be my next car but been loving my speed after owning it for the past 6 years it’s been great and I still have trouble I’ll post it for sale and always take it down lol

Make a buyers guide 🫡

Bought my 2012 MPS for 10k 3 month ago with 72k miles on. Full stock, exciting every ride!
@Riposte on the drive2, u r welcome!

Found a 2013 on Marketplace, I'll go check it out tomorrow.
It's priced at 6000$, and apparently it's in great shape.

Crossing fingers :D

2023? I drove mine home November 9 2006! Still a beast!

I have an 08 Gen 1. The power, styling, handling is as good as current cars today. Still a great driving car. I have a 2019 STI and yes it is a great car, the Speed has that raw driving experience that only car lovers know.

I have bolt ons and a tune had to repair/repair but thats a given for a car thats approaching 20yrs old.

Gen won ftw

I mean...where are they

Drove one for 14 years. I left the engine stock and upgraded the suspension. I had to get rid of it because of dad stuff. None the less it had just under 250k miles on it. The only thing I had to fix was the serpentine belt. Im buying another one soon, if i can find one thats unmodified. Nobody ever talks about the clutch or what they did to stiffen the car. Honestly, go sit in any other car and push in the clutch then hop in the mazda and tell me its not an easier push

i’ve got a 2009 speed, beautiful car😌. I love lining up with someone, and they shit their pants when they hear the turbo😂

Yeeaaa I already gotta do an engine swap

I have a 2013 2nd gen

Its pretty interesting, i just realized your the same age as me and got Mazda 3 I think a year before I got mine. Its seems like youve accomplished so much in those 6 years of owning your Mazda 3.

I picked up a 12' with 81k miles on it a few months ago and I don't regret it at all. Always excites me when I drive it and its my daily!!! Will keep this thing forever if it means I need to change out a few engines and transmissions!

I just bought an 07 with 230k miles on it bone stock runs an drives really good what should I be worried about as this is my first speed 3 an turbo car

💯

Last thing take the door bumpers on the center of the door. That cleans the body up so so much.

Two things, take me with a grain of salt my first comment. I really wish everyone would shut the fuck up about these because these cars are gems for people that love them. Anyone that can find my old mazdaspeed 3 it looks almost identical to this and the vin number is JM1BK34M171628364

Mine also was cosmic blue mica on Genpu wheels.

Second this is the best car ever made. I agree with everything you’ve said.

Had a 2012 ms3 full bolt on and tuned but I got super bored of the fwd and got an evo x 😊 best decision ever

All you said are definitely true Colton, I love your magwheels

I’ve had my gen 2 for over a year and I am happy and have not dealt with anything bad I’m assuming it was babyd by the first owner I’m the second and I’m meticulous with maintenance.

Uggghhhh i want a 1st gen so bad lol. I got a 2.0 sedan and its a lot of fun for what it is. But mannn wish i wouldve waited and got a speed 3. But ah well needed a car right then and there and had to go with what i could afford at the time :/

Love my speed...she's getting old and her clear coat is starting to peel but still a blast

i found an 08 speed3 in mint condition at about 198k kms for 9k cad, comes certified, considering selling my 05 g35x for it

Well Nice video to say at least. I got mine a year ago - September 2022. It was and it still is my first car. It is an 2009 Mazdaspeed3 BK (USDM obviously) but I drive mine here, in Europe. 34K White GT trim with that sweet alcantara interior. I got it with 68818 miles on the clock. Im the 3rd owner. First in my country. Since when I got it - I didn't have a chance to drive it since it had to be repaired (front suspension, oilpan and all the bottom of the engine etc.) I didn't have the money and time to fix it. Now it sits in my garage and maybe in a month or so - everything will be done ( I have all the parts and gear ready ) I hope xx. Keep up with the videos man. Love ! <3

Bluetooth on second gen? Where?! I don't see that on my 2010

What's a maaazda

Great video, has all the information I was too lazy to research myself😂

I'm glad there's still love for this car. I'm the original owner of a 2008.5, Crystal White, and just put a brand new OEM motor. All stock.

I love my mazdaspeed 3 but I love my r34 to and love my v11 daily Subaru but definitely love the speed so fun to drive bit crazy in the wet but.

I got a white 08.5 with 71k miles for 13k in March, I feel like I spent way to much but it was so clean and that low mileage with the alcantara & leather seats I just couldn’t pass it up.

Dude I’m in yeg and Im looking at a 07speed3 tomorrow with 130km for 14k It’ll be my first speed3 if we end doing a deal. Guys got a list of mods done to it so I’m taking it for inspection 🤣

That's a monster, Col! ❤

I got a 2010 2nd gen speed 3, it never fails to excite me, every new modification, every new tune, this thing is just great never had any issues either I’ve had it for a little over a year and I’ve put about 10k miles on it

I bought my 09 MS3 in 2020 for $4k with 150k mi

My 1st gen MS3 has 240k mi and the only my A/C broke. Super fun and reliable

How is it in the winter? Iam in the gta and thinking of buying one for day to for work

Have a 2023 Mazda 3 Turbo PP hatch, I know it doesn't have the torque steer but it's still fun as hell. The 320 ft lb of torque always put a smile on my face.

Bought my 2007 MPS in Cosmic Blue a month ago. Not a chance there is another car for that price which is as fun and beautiful.

I bought my 2013 speed3 for 12k USD and it had 80k miles on it. Best car I have ever owned. I did have to fix somethings here and there but overall an amazing car to modify and tune. And i believe that the 2008.5 (the mid year refresh) didn't have to many VVT faults. That's when they changed the VVT I believe.

Awesome awesome awesome car, smoked it with my 2006 E87 130i 6mt the other day on the highway😂

I just bought a 2010 speed last week, already love the thing to death😂

Just bought a 09 Mazdaspeed3 with 140k miles as my first car !

I agree there man, the second gen looks like a Ford you'd find in europe

this aint Ford! Actually the unreliable part of these cars are the FoMoCo parts! Lol speed6 is more awesome! Got one
