And the mazdaspeed 3, from all reports, kicks ass, takes names and hasn't seen a stick of gum in years. Quite possibly the best performance value on the market these days. For those not familiar with it, it's a small wagon/estate, with 230 horsepower and a fairly aggressivly tuned suspsension. http://www.mazdausa.com/MusaWeb/display2010Mazda3.action?vehicleCode=MS3&directPath=ms3/home Oops, looks like it's up to 260hp. -- The first step is learning to take great photos, the second step is learning to throw away ones that are merely good.
