			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-101" title="2010 Mazda Speed 3" src="http://www.ieimportenthusiast.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Mazda-Speed-3-300x165.jpg" alt="2010 Mazda Speed 3" width="300" height="165" />The 2nd generation MazdaSpeed3 takes over where the first generation hatchback left off;  gobs of horsepower and a corner carving suspension.  Need I say more that to quote a few figures: 0,90 lateral G&#8217;s worth of grip and 280 lb-ft of tire shredding torque!  These are numbers reserved for cars costing double the price of the MazdaSpeed3.  At just a bit under the $25,000 price range, no other car can come close to this level of performance for the price.  That&#8217;s what we call best bang for the buck!<span id="more-100"></span></p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-103" title="2.3 liter mazdaspeed3 engine" src="http://www.ieimportenthusiast.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/2010-mazdaspeed-3-inline-2.jpg" alt="2.3 liter mazdaspeed3 engine" width="216" height="145" />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 <a href="http://www.palmspringsmazda.com/j/i/33496/TheNewMazdaSpeed3.html?q=mazdaspeed3" target="_blank">2010 MazdaSpeed3</a> 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.</p>
<p>On the inside the <a href="http://www.palmspringsmazda.com/j/i/33496/TheNewMazdaSpeed3.html?q=mazdaspeed3" target="_blank">New MazdaSpeed3</a> has nice bucket seat wrapped in both cloth and leather.  The overall look is clean and <img class="size-medium wp-image-104 alignright" title="2010 MazdaSpeed3 interior" src="http://www.ieimportenthusiast.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/2010_MazdaSpeed3_Console-300x165.jpg" alt="2010 MazdaSpeed3 interior" width="300" height="165" />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.</p>
<p>With a $25k price tag, the MazdaSpeed3 is over $2k less than the WRX and the <a href="http://www.bestnewautomobile.com/2010-mitsubishi-lancer-sportback/" target="_blank">2010 Mitsubishi Lancer SportBack</a> competitors.  View the inventory of new cars for sale at your <a href="http://www.palmspringsmazda.com/j/i/33496/TheNewMazdaSpeed3.html?q=mazdaspeed3" target="_blank">Riverside Mazdaspeed3 Dealer</a>.</p>
