Introduction
When it comes to hot hatchbacks, there’s always been an 800-pound
gorilla in the room. Actually, it’s more of a 3,100-pound gorilla.
We’re referring of course, to the beloved Volkswagen GTI. Since the
original Rabbit GTI hit the states in 1983, it has been the benchmark
hot hatch. Over the years, challengers have come and gone, but few have
offered the price-performance punch of the Mazdaspeed3. When it debuted
in 2006, this five-door hatch wasn’t hot; it was scalding—a 263-hp
turbocharged hellion that instantly won over enthusiasts with its
visceral appeal and sub-$25,000 sticker. Billed as “all new,” the 2010
Mazdaspeed3 is actually significantly refreshed. Besides its very
obvious facelift (smile!), this fiery five-door is also more
well-mannered. But has this maturity dulled its bratty charm?
