Default Mazdaspeed 3 V. educate me

I know a few ppl on the forum own or have driven the car.
I'd like some reviews and pros/cons about the car if possible.
From what i found on youtube

the car sounds pretty good for the price.

The car is amazing. It always wins comparisons against many other types of cars. The power is there, there is no need for more, there is torque steer, the interior is GREAT, the paint is low quality, the shifter is rubbery at times, the price is amazing, the color choices are minimal, the brights annoy me by the way they lock on, the gas mileage is good, the trip computer is unlockable from the start, everyone always loves it...you want more?

at the track last weekend, there were two mazdaspeed3's... both haul ass down the straights, but one of the drivers couldnt drive for shit and kept flying off the track from too much understeer and going into the turns too hot. he ended up getting kicked off cuz he kept going off 1-2 times EACH lap.

anyway, the other driver was much better but the car has ridiculous understeer still. h: an EG with some kinda swap kicked its ass.

I absolutely love these cars :love: Really wish I had been able to afford an MS3

Never diven one, but I drove a sedan Mazda3 a couple years ago. Nice little car but the ergonomics blew, not sure if it's any better with the speed version.
