2008 Mazda MAZDASPEED3
Overview
The 2008 MazdaSpeed 3 is the wild child of the Mazda 3 lineup. It is one of the fastest sports compact cars with a front-wheel drive on the road today. The high-performance sports compact design, the athletic handling, refined engine and sharp styling continue the Mazda tradition of making cars that are fun to drive. The MazdaSpeed 3 offers sharp handling and impressive stability at high speeds. It also has a nicely detailed cabin with reasonable utility.
Powertrain and performance
The precise and advanced engine of the 2008 MazdaSpeed 3 is at the core of its sporty performance. It has a 263-horsepower, MZR, 2.3-liter, direct-injected turbo engine. The internal cooling effects of direct-injection reduce knocking tendencies and improve low-end torque and acceleration. The EPA mileage estimates for 2008 are 18 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway.

Body and styling
The 2008 MazdaSpeed 3 is a four-door hatchback available in two trim levels: Sport and Grand Touring. The Sport comes with 18-inch alloy wheels, 215/45R18 Bridgestone Potenza RE050A performance tires, a limited-slip differential, a roof spoiler, sport seats, tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, automatic climate control, CD stereo with auxiliary audio jack, and full power accessories. The Grand Touring comes with xenon HID headlights; LED taillights; rain-sensing wipers; leather seat bolsters; an upgraded Bose audio system with an in-dash CD changer; trip computer; and anti-theft system.

The short options list includes satellite radio, an auto-dimming rearview mirror and, on the Grand Touring only, a navigation system. A sunroof is not offered.

The car comfortably seats five adults. The seats on the Sport model are clad in high-quality cloth, while the Grand Touring features premium leather bolster and trim. Premium Bose® 222W, seven-speaker sound system comes standard on Grand Touring models. Automatic volume control adjusting to ambient noise, and an auxiliary audio jack for mobile media devices such as an iPod®, are standard features. The stereo controls are mounted on the steering wheel. Six-disc, in-dash CD changer, standard on the Grand Touring, makes for a whole road trip worth of tunes. All models are Sirius satellite radio-ready. The cargo capacity stands at 17 cubic feet behind the rear seats, and expands to 31 cubic feet when these are folded.

Safety features
The 2008 MazdaSpeed 3 features advanced, dynamically-adjusted air bags for personalized safety. Front air bags adjust deployment force based on the severity of the crash, the driver’s seat position and the passenger’s weight, all to reduce air bag-related injury. Standard seat-mounted, side-impact air bags and side air curtains combine to provide front and rear passengers with head protection in serious collisions.
