The steering response of the MazdaSpeed3 is nothing short of spectacular.  This car has better  feel and input control than any other car under $30k.  This hot hatch is motivated by a 2.3-liter 4-cylinder engine that throws down over 260 horsepower via turbocharged power.  Power transferred through a limited-slip differential and there is a wondrous 6-speed transmission. The 2010 MazdaSpeed3 clocks a 0-60 time of a mere 5.8 seconds and finishes the 1/4 mile in a scant 14.3 seconds with a trap speed of 98 MPH which is faster than the new 2010 Camaro V-6! Oh and Highway mileage is 25 MPG if that sort of thing matters to you.

On the inside the New MazdaSpeed3 has nice bucket seat wrapped in both cloth and leather.  The overall look is clean and modern.  All base model cars include everything you could want in a hatchback: cruise control, climate control, power everything, and so on.  But opt for the Tech Package at only $1800 and you get a great Bose Sound System, Satellite Radio, and Navigation.

With a $25k price tag, the MazdaSpeed3 is over $2k less than the WRX and the 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer SportBack competitors.  View the inventory of new cars for sale at your Riverside Mazdaspeed3 Dealer.

Powering the Acura RSX is the K20 engine platform. The K20 has a whole new engine design when compared to the B-Series Engine of Old.   HKS went the pressurized route when adding horsepower to the An I-VTEC engine.  A turbocharger kit was developed which is centered around a HKS GT2835 turbo and a custom exhaust manifold.  Exhaust that is wasted gets released though a HKS Hiper Exhaust and the clean air is drawn in with a Super Mega Flow intake then cooled though an HKS Intercooler. To maintain  efficiency with the new engine platform a F-Con S engine management system was added to ‘fine-tune’ the engine parameters. Also added to the collection of parts and systems is a limited-edition EVC-IV Silver to electronically adjust boost control and the Turbo Timer Type-1  shutdown mode.  And lastly, the final piece of hardware in the engine bay is the Sequential Blow-Off Valve. This valve releases any unwanted pressure within the system.

The HKS Acura RSX has quite an elaborate engine system but that isn’t the only thing great about this car. For the exterior, the car has a carbon-fiber hood, made by CARisma, which takes a few pounds off the body. The rear deck spoiler is Optional additional equipment. Lowering Springs included are from Sprint Suspension, and the wheels come courtesy of Racing Heart.

A few enhancements were added to the interior as well, like the titanium shift knob and titanium trim, new pedal designs, and reupholstered seats.  The RSX has already well surpassed its Integra predecessors in terms of looks and performance.
