Don't be deceived.
The redesigned 2010 MazdaSpeed3 will chew up and spit out any road it crosses. It doesn't leave tracks, it leaves scorched earth.
Seriously: This little racer may have the looks of a bloated "Dungeons & Dragons" 20-sided die, but its little turbo is to die for. It's a combination of engineer love, a 2.3-liter direct-injection, spark ignition, and turbo-charged four-cylinder engine spinning at 111.6 revolutions per second to create 263 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of fun-loving, premium-fuel burning, awe-inspiring fun.
Really, I'm surprised by anyone who doesn't. There are some chinks in this car's armor, but in a world of Euro racers and high-tech imports, the MazdaSpeed3 stands above the competition. It has the overall gumption to offer more fun per cylinder than Volkswagen's GTI and Honda's Civic Si.
