Should Mazda have continued with the Mazdaspeed 3, yes or no?
Make sure to add you car to the fastest growing online Fitment Gallery: bit.ly/2obqAZQ
you guys should do the Z24 cavaliers they're interesting sleepers sometimes
Fitment Industries yes
They should have and they can. The new 3 with the 2.5L Skyactiv turbo and a new 6 speed manual
**sad torque steer noises**
Yes definitly
I literally asked for this video like 2 posts ago and yall delivered.
You finally did it so that guy who keeps asking for the MazdaSpeed 3 can relax
Me 😂😂
That was me 😂
It was a team effort from everyone! 😂🙏🏼
It was a group of guys including me.
That’s new lol
You want a ms3? Upgrade hpfp internals, get a Cobb accessport, rear motor mount and a tune if you want a quick reliable daily
Do that hpfp asap first mod anyone should do on the speed 3/6
Facts! That can't be stressed enough. Those who ignore will be introduced to zoom zoom BOOM!
I've had an intake on my gen2 for 8 yrs and just did a stratified stage 1 tune without hpfp internals. Still holds pressure fine. Gonna slap internals in when I do the downpipe
Must you tune right away with hpfp?
@@nicolasalarcon-belanger8622 no need to tune for hpfp internals
Alex is like the LinusTechTips of the car community.
If yk, yk.
My girlfriend just walked in while I was watching this video and said "That sounds like Linus" haha so can confirm this guy is automotive Linus.
Omg I was gonna comment this
did he drop a car tho
I legit was about to say this but you beat me
@@wqasdfew a true Linus comment.
Was a GEN 1 Mazdaspeed owner and I gotta say that this vehicle put a smile on my face everyday.
Only problems are Turbo seals and VVT but if you replace them and keep the maintenance going they’re amazing cars !
Once in boost it’s a hell of a ride !
So you only have $3k? I feel like this applies to a lot of people
Future Designer you can get a prelude with that or other “old” Hondas
@@christophercolon7667 or you can get a used set of 3 piece wheels and just look at them
Future Designer me 😪
Bought a e36 for 700$ run and drive
you can always buy a rusted/clapped out wrx for that price
I just got my speed3 a few weeks ago, she’s sitting around 330 HP, absolutely one of the most fun cars I’ve ever driven. Mazda delivers
So you want an e36?
BC_CARS yes
E30* ;)
YES
pls don't most wanted it
3 series
Bought one after I wrecked my Civic Si. Has been about a year since I picked it up and walking out of work everyday seeing that smile sure does put one on my face.
I'm going to go check out a 2008 MazdaSpeed 3 tomorrow. Crashed my 2013 Civic Si about a month ago. I'm hoping that it's a good car. I loved my Honda so much.
@@Nazraq04 Get it?
@@pegasus5763 Unfortunately not. It had already been sold by the time I got a hold of the owner.
Ended up finding a 2010 Mazda 3 sedan. Nothing too exciting, but it was clean with low miles. 68k miles to be exact. Paid 6 grand cash for it, and it's been a solid little guy ever since.
Looking forward to earning enough money to trade that in and take on a car payment for something much more exciting.
Definitely a direct rival to a GTI. Both 4 cylinder turbo, fwd and 6 speed manual. They definitely should bring it back for a 3rd gen
Not a rival bro GTI is 200hp small turbo
Mazda had mine for 1year trying to fix it and they don’t know. Best car i owned
I don't know how I missed this before, but as a 2nd Gen Speed3 owner, I'm extremely pleased by the way you described the grin. Nailed it. lol
Gen1 Speed3 is the best sleeper of all time.
yup a lot folks underestimate it. Especially the current Si Civics. Get a couple that have rev'd on me. Once I open it up they get left in the dust. I have an 08 1st Gen MS3.
My guy. I feel this on so many levels lol. I got a gen 1 that's pushing just shy of 400 and it's the bee's knees on the highway. Not much from a dig when ya spin up to 4th
@@nthzxanubis371 With a proper load tune you can grip 1 through 4. Just need to tune it yourself or ask for it from your tuner.
Speed6.
AWD
Gᴜᴛꜱ • ᏖᏂᏋ ᏂᎧᏬᏁᎴ Ꭷƒ ᎴᏗᏒᏦᏁᏋᏕᏕ Golf R at that point
The mazda speed 3 looks like a drug addict from the front 😂
Brb gotta go look at mine real quick.. 😅😂
WHY ARE YOU EVERYWHERE YOU'RE SCARING ME
Its the dorkfish smile
That torque steer is like a drug in a sense
The gen 2 looks way too goofy with the front design, I prefer the sexy subtlety of the Gen 1
Finally bought a 2010 speed3 for myself with only 100k km's on it. Had a smile on my face for the entire test drive, can't wait to bring her home!
finally my mazdaspeed 3 gets the recognition she deserves 😭 ❤️
Also another tip for the Mazdaspeed platform (either Mazdaspeed 3 or 6) it does have two issues you missed. One of them is the smoking turbo. Now I have yet to encounter this on my Mazdaspeed 6 with 90k miles, but it's a good thing to check for. These cars turbo seals aren't the best and when they're beat on hard and then the person shuts the car off immediately. It doesn't allow the turbo to cool properly and puts a lot of wear on already not great seals. Second is the high pressure fuel pump internals. Now if your looking to mod the car preformance wise your going to need to upgrade those internals almost immediately. The stock HPFP internals are getting pushed to the limit stock so anymore is gonna ask for a big blown up problem. Other than that it's really a great and awesome fun car. And worth checking out the Mazdaspeed 6 it's the sedan AWD version of the platform
Yeah, not good to do that with any turbo car really. It's why some modern cars have pumps to cycle oil through even after the car shuts down.
I’m convinced the smoking turbo issue is a myth at this point. My gen2 K04 turbo is a champ at 107k miles and I’ve yet to talk to another speed owner with a turbo seal issue! The hpfp internals are an absolute must though.
@@skyelarpayne3941 Smoking turbo is real..often caused by replacing the downpipe ( no cats ) .
This can usually be fixed by replacing the oil feed bolt ( Banjo bolt) with a smaller one and setting the idle higher with the Cobb Accessport.
Worked a treat on mine.
Vvt issue is the biggest issue out of smoking turbo and hpfp. You can be driving causually and jump timing and there goes the engine
My msp6 is fully modded with a sleeved block , billet cap, a precision 64/66 turbo up to 40 psi of boost , yes a hi performance hpfp , and a secondary low pressure pump . She is a total sleeper , all stock on the outside except for weld rims .
I love the smile the Mazdaspeed 3 gives you :)
Why and how are you everywhere i go?😂😂
Ewo On Sight idk :P
:D
My son got rid of a Lexus to get one of these, and he smiles a lot more these days. Well, the Lexus was his mother's hand-me-down. But he is immensely happier now.
i wish someone smiled at me like the mazdaspeed smiles at the road
😂😂😂
>:[]
Literally the main reason I want a 1st gen
I have a gen 1 speed3 with 255,000 miles and its still running smooth
screams in unreliable speed6
Is it modded?
How did u maintain it? I have a 2012 speed 3 and getting alot of carbon buildup
@@georgerobinson1338 I baby it keep up with fluids and only do a couple pulls here and there
@@jayman4268 a little bit
Been having my 2013 Mazdaspeed3 for 2 years now. She has been a reliable little beast!
I have a Black 2012 with 15, 000 miles on it. I don't drive it much but I run anything that lines up against me.
@@tomlee3294 looking to sell lol ?
You guys should do one on the 300zx or the 1st gen nsx
Edit: Dont do one on the 300zx. Keep the price down low lol
Sound Driven Official well everyone is scared of them that keeps the price down those things are death traps but look awesome
yea a video wont drive up the price as long as it keeps that aftermarket and same common issues
The majority of viewers that watch this channel can’t afford a 1st gen nsx
What if I told you that the 300zx is no more a death trap than any other car.
Why do you guys call it a death trap lol
I know you guys already did a focus st video, but...
SO YOU WANT A FIESTA ST
Fiesta st owners are pretty articulate. Have not met and idiot fist owner to this day. Bone head focus st owners are everywhere. Im being serious btw.
Curtis Dickson don't get me wrong, love the jelly bean owners, but the FiST is so much better lol
Love the little go-kart
@@shen2790 agreed they are an absolute blast to drive
@Bryce Czirr thats not true at all lol. I know multiple people who traded in their focus st or focus rs and got a fiesta. They are way more fun to drive because they are so tiny and light you can just chuck them around!
@Bryce Czirr the look of them kinda grows on you haha i didn't like them at first either, but after seeing some with mods, I started liking them. Miatas are great too for sure!
It was such a good platform I always wondered why they didn't make the mazdaspeed3 AWD instead of the mazdaspeed6. Both mazdaspeed cars had way more potential than they came with.
Its tuff making a awd car with a short lenghtbase. Thats why wrx is a iconic
@@dagobertduck4557 what about the Golf 4 motion?
@@jimlucas0 thats also a masterpiece. See them a lot in the netherlands. But the wrx is much older and earnt his respect with trophy's.
@@dagobertduck4557 die zie je inderdaad kapot veel hier haha. fair enough. denk dat ik binnenkort een Mazda 3 MPS in Duitsland haal, daar zijn ze veel goedkoper.
@@jimlucas0 goeie keuze , had precies de zelfde keuze alleen gewoon uit Nederland idk yet😂
“The best part of August, the weather isnt 100°”
“Siri what’s the weather in Fort Worth, TX?”
*100 degrees*
Jeff Hall ayyyy I’m in Texas to and the weather makes me melt
Jeff Hall I’m in Arizona it’s 111 degrees
Yay I’m in fortworth to also!!!!
Missouri is 103 :/
My dickies are in fort worth I really hope they don't spontaneously combust in the delivery truck cause those fuckers get HOT
So glad you finally did this. I've been waiting, I own an 09 speed3 and it is the most fun vehicle I've ever experienced. 1st gen feeling a bit more "raw" without all the drivers assists, you just cant NOT smile while banging through the gears
proud owner of a mazdaspeed6. we got awd in a sedan
Thanks for the credit, stoked I made it in this one. The MS3 is near and dear to me 😍🙏🏽
My coworker had one, sold it for a crosstrek, I regret not buying it from him. It would’ve looked great next to my rx7
Torque steer is honestly a huge appeal. Cars have so many assists now it doesn’t even feel like we have control of the car. I want that raw feeling of being able to go “too far” in my car
I bought one of the very first MS3's in October 2006. Though it would be considered "fast-ish" now, it was crazy fast then. Nothing in the class could come close. I only modified the suspension a bit (stiffened it up), and tracked it a bit a VIR. Daily drove it reliably 325,000 miles and sold it with the original clutch and turbo. Gen 1 MS3 was a total sleeper.
325k miles is insane
I bought one yesterday. They were actually never really on my radar, but I saw one listed for sale and it looked clean. Had everything done to it you could do without touching the motor, full records of everything. Not a scratch or dent on the car. Honestly one of the cleanest cars I’ve seen. Seller was super nice and informative. You could really tell he babied the hell out of it. I feel like it’s a lot of car for the money and so far am absolutely thrilled!
I went with a mazdaspeed 6 but love the mazdaspeed 3
How do you like it
I did as well, wanted that AWD!
Sara Marie smh I have one wish I could have got a speed 3 and I already went through a damn turbo on the speed 6 and the oil return line bolts are fucking trash to get too but I say it’s a decent car
Awesome videos as always. So you want a Mitsubishi eclipse or toyota Altezza.
Super_Chilly_ Bruh or IS200
Floinn Boardman or is300 in the states
Tresean Williams I did not even know that was a thing and feel very neglected for not having them in Ireland 😭
Floinn Boardman it’s just a naturally aspirated 2j 🤷🏾♂️😂
Jokes on you... I already have one hahahh
Same 😂
Fitment Industries Same
@@ms3_alejandro username checks out
Jeremy Acevedo same here going for 67k miles on my ‘12
98K on my 07'. Still rips!
Yes! I have 2007 I daily drive and love the thing! It's at 280 thousand miles and still a beast! Running cobb stage 2 with supporting mods and couldn't be happier with the car!
I meant 180 thousand miles haha Hopefully she gets to 280 hahaha
I absolutely love my 2010 Mazdaspeed 3 and would definitely recommend anyone get one
I'm looking to daily one in a colder climate that gets a good bit of snow any pointers?
I’ve owned my 2012 Mazdaspeed3 3 for over a year now and it is such a badass car for the price!
How is a 2010 Mazdaspeed 3. Thinking of buying one
@@SK-mh4mz Pretty much the exact same except for some material differences in the cabin, leather, plastic in different places. It's a badass car and if you have the opportunity to buy one, do it. It's definitely worth the money!
So you want.... *TO BE OLDER, GET A DRIVERS LICENCE AND HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO BUY AND TUNE YOUR DREAM A CAR*
Thanks to y’all I got my first speed,first turbo car, first manual big dubs thanks guys 🙏🏽
Finally another video of this underrated beast! Can't wait to get mine when I get my license!
My uncle had to put a roof rack on his so it didn’t look like a mom car
Well it's one hell of a mom car then lol
My mom drives a gen two and she’s already offered me the car C:
Just think of the drag that roof racks going to cause.
@@The_Holy_GabeN take it.
Now you guys gotta do a vid on the speed6
Thank you guys so much for doing this!
Thank you for finally doing the Speed3!! ✌🏽Dope video!
do it for the vq boys, so you want an Infiniti G35 coupe
or G37
So you want a VQ
@@CokeMk7 It's always about a 350 370 or g37.. we want coverage on the G35
G35 the underrated boi
Ángel Garcia So you want a VQ would be simpler since theyre in so many cars (altima,maxima,g35,350z,pathfinder,murano)
Almost at 90k with FBO and e85 and have had 0 issues. Very fast around the corners and in the straights, like an old mk7
Great if you love passing Subaru’s
You guys just made my day. Finally the dopest hot hatch. Best channel on TH-cam.
Ayee!! Thank you! 🙏🏼
So if I go too the 12:30pm service, I must be double hungover! Great piece Bro👍Luv my Speed3...
I'm glad to see people recognizing the Mazdaspeed3, and the mazdaspeed6 now a days. They are great car, and the 2nd generation mazdaspeed3, depending on year offer great feature that can pass for modern cars. Great car, but maintenance is key, and checking certain things before buying one to insure; it is a good buy, depending on previous owner. Overall great lil video.
I know it's not a very normal car to mod, but can you do So You Want a Mercedes 190E?
Only the cosworth ones.
I just got one yesterday 🤓🤓 I see it as a big upgrade from all my 90’s Hondas that I’ve owned, for sure. I’m so happy just like the big smile on my car 🚘
Very proud 2012 Mazdaspeed3 owner. 112k with mods and all, car still runs and looks great!
I had the 1st gen Mazdaspeed 3 and loved that car!!!
“Get in close”
*clears throat* “there is no reason”
That whole ass build up 😂 you Jack
I have three 1988 323GTXs - white, red and silver - and they're year-round sleepers that surprise a lot of folks with their ability to put a smile on one's face!
What a great video! Great personality. Fitting to a great car. Thank you.
Lmao, whoever made this video used a 2012-2013 facelifted 2.0 Mazda3 when talking about the MS3 as the cover photo 😂
I live in Orlando, I see these cars everywhere, a lot more than the other hatches u named
I own a second generation Mazdaspeed 3, love it. Thanks for the video!
Same!! 😂
I’ve waited for this for so long 😎 amazing
I just got mine 3 days ago this is crazy
You should do “So you want a 335i”
N54 life
I;ve already beat one of those with my Mazdaspeed3
@@tomlee3294 stock? Never.
@@melvinschneider4209 Idk, my mk7 GTI will pull with a 335i until like 75-80. Then the beamer starts to pull away
@@nickkite6418 yes sure 0-100 doesn't really matter for cars in those power classes in my opinion since it's always smth about 4.5-6 seconds but a stock Mazda 3 mps will never beat a 335i, if u do a drag start with mps u probably have extreme wheelspin til 3rd gear since the car can't get the 260 horses to the street properly
I've been waiting for this video for the longest time!!!
As a gen Juan speed owner I’ve have been waiting for this video 😂❤️
After buying one HPFP internals, access-port, rear motor mount, full intake, full exhaust, tune. You’ll have a pretty quick and very fun reliable daily.
First gens had turbo recalls and bad pcv issues. Many cx7s and speed 6s shared the issues (same engine). The second generation sorted this stuff out. Gen won is def the more subtle, fast hatch but you should be checking compression before you buy one of them.
I got a speed 6 in excellent condition from a guy who bought it and then got deployed. The guy before him however made this thing an all out track ripper. All stage 2, big brake kit, stage 2 clutch. And he had all the mods installed by a pro so there’s records of it. And to make it better being a track car, the interior is as close to flawless as it gets. I’m suuuper happy
Ay ay, thanks for actually makin' it, I remember offering to make it!
So you want an Acura TL
So you want a Lexus is 250/350 please.
I’ve been waiting so long for this vid❤️
(Yes I have one also)
What's it like and what times does it run if I may ask? What year also?
I got super lucky with my gen 2. The thing has just been flawless and the guy who had it before me had it fir 110k miles. He didnt change anything on the car and maintained it super well. But I've loved it. I put some exhaust on mine and it sounds just angry. Makes it a blast to drive especially at the price
I bought My 2011 Mazdaspeed 3 band new off the lot... 135k miles on it now.. Still love it.. running like new still!! literally have only had to Change the clutch and the breaks once and that’s it
No one:
Speed3: :D
The big problem is that the stock fuel pump, even on stock tune, will lean out under heavy throttle. So, long pulls will cause lots of damage to the engine. This is remidied by hi pressure fuel pumps, or just high pressure internals. I honestly cant beleive you didnt mention this as its a well known achilles heel of the mazdaspeed 3. Its a life support mod most people do as soon as they buy one.
Great insight on that! 🤘
@@FitmentIndustries they are wonderful cars and very slept on but i hope you pin this or another comment to let everyone know what to do if they get one. You can squeeze a solid 400hp on stock internals and embarass a lotta hotbois in ur smileyboi with just a tune.
I’ll have owned my 2013 for 5 years next month. I love that car. Cool fact. It’s never once not started even when the battery had 9 volts still started. All the electrics were going haywire but it still started up.
I just picked up a 2009 with very few tasteful mods and all the stock stuff in a box. I love it and it is very quick. feels like a 13 sec car.
You should do a video on the Veloster 😁
Preciate that mazdaspeed 3 love.
Ayyyy Jakub from thestraightpipes made the cut! Great vid as always
Finally! Took you guys long enough
Bought my 2010 speed3 with 55k miles last year, I'm now up to 80k miles and haven't had any major repairs (Other than a clutch that was my fault). Love this car, Mines lightly modded with a tune and is shockingly quick. I never liked mazdas until I drove this speed3
Love my gen1 MS3, shocked looks from GTI and focus ST owners in the regular 😂
They're all pretty much the same car
@@michaelu7900 yeeeeah, no. Not at all. Like all sedans are the same, like all rangers/hilux/bt-50s etc are the same? I'd take the ms3 over anything other than a modern mercedes amg a45, but as I said before our new price is $85,000 for that... A gen 2 ms3 is 15-20k... Hmmm 65k in performance mods in the ms3 is going to trash the living hell out of the merc, but sure won't get you the superficial ladies I'm your car when they just look at the bonnet badge. But all the guys will be nodding quietly on the side to the smart ms3 owner.
Got a First Gen 2008 MS3. Great car and at 98k miles. Still running strong to this day. Kept her pretty much stock with the exception of a Cobb SR Intake and an exhaust.
Picked a Gen1 up about 2 months ago, I love it
Can u do: So you want a Nissan Sentra SER SPEC V? A lot of people sleep on this car but it's actually a really fun car with a lot of potential
Kraoking XYZ I been asking this for 4 weeks😂. I have a 2010 B16 Nissan Sentra SE-R SPEC-V 😊

Something is on the way! 😬🙏🏼
Bought my 2010 Mazdaspeed in 2013. I have been in love ever since! I had a 2008 Evo before I bought it and I love it wayyy more.
I love my speed3:) Black Mica 2010 Full bolt on brings on so many smiles
I really liked that this was one of the first cars they gave you on the Need For Speed MMO from a few years ago (I still miss it. Reply if you played it or remember it).
You gotta do one on the Lexus IS300/ Toyota Altezza.
Finally what I’ve been waiting for 🔥 🔥
I remember the first time watching this video when it came out, I’m happy to say that I’m finally picking up my very own first gen in two days.
Bought a 1st gen and did a tune on it and it’s pretty darn fun lmaoooo
hope you put HPFP internals in it too.
You don’t need HPFP unless you have other supporting mods. I have an 08 and it’s running great with a few mods and a tune
@@Motivate_My_Morning ok. I wasnt part of the ms3 community for years... I dont know what I'm saying.
connor fortenberrry have fun with a blown engine
@@h3llb1lly889 Clearly you don't. Like he said, you don't need them unless you're running supporting mods that require a HPFP internal!
they should just let Alex own the yt account 😂
From the first time I laid my eyes on the speed 3 I knew I had to get it. I love it.
I have a gen 1 mazdaspeed 3 and I love it. They do have a few problems but every performance car does and for a few thousand in mods and tuning it can punch pretty high above its’ weight
can you guys do a "so you want a 335i (or n54)" PLEASE
I learn more about history here than school
I remember watching this video a few months back lol I just bought a 2010 MS3 with the tech package and a couple aftermarket goodies! Absolutely love it so far!
Have you had any major problems with it ?
Thank you for this!!!
