The second-generation Mazdaspeed 3, sold from 2010 to 2013, refined the successful formula of its predecessor. It retained the potent 2.3-liter MZR DISI turbocharged engine, sending 263 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque to the front wheels through a 6-speed manual and a limited-slip differential. Its aggressive styling, highlighted by a functional hood scoop and a distinctive 'smiling' grille, made it stand out from other hatchbacks of the era.
Collectors and enthusiasts value the Mazdaspeed 3 for its analog feel and impressive performance-per-dollar. It's a high-strung, engaging car known for its signature torque steer, a trait many drivers find adds to its character. Because it was affordable and easy to modify, finding a clean, stock example is becoming a real challenge, making original cars increasingly desirable.
Buying Tips
- Check for a rattling sound on cold starts, which can point to a failing Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system, a common and critical issue.
- Look for blue smoke from the exhaust. The stock K04 turbocharger is known for failing seals, leading to oil consumption.
- Be cautious with heavily modified cars. An improper tune or cheap parts can cause serious reliability problems. Stock is often the safest bet.
- Inspect the motor mounts, particularly the rear one. The factory mount is a weak point and often fails, causing excessive engine movement.
- Pay attention to the clutch during the test drive. The high torque output can lead to premature wear, especially on tuned examples.
