Sorry to hear your trading her in, but in the bright side the Mazdaspeed 3 are nice cars.

I drove a mazdaspeed3... a 2012 to be exact.. My thoughts were...

1. Interior felt a little cheap.
2. Had a fairly rough ride.
3. Front end kinda looked weird, but in black it was alright

Other than that, I thought the car was a damn blast to drive. Engine pulled strong, transmission didn't grind when I shifted it.... Took corners like a beast... Put a smile on my face as I drove it..

Didn't pull the trigger because it was very expensive and out of my range. I don't see the bash on the Speed3... Much better car performance and fun wise.

I bash ppl going from a Sonic to a MazdaSpeed. I think I covered it elsewhere, but I'll nutshell it.

Guy gets 1.4T sonic. Gets itch to mod a little. Realizes how easy it is to increase power with forced induction. Suddenly thinks they are expert tuner mechanic, and that this poor little economy 1.4 is holding back there new found godly powers. Trades in a damn good car for muuuuuch more debt and a car that ain't nearly as cheap to mod, nor as groundbreaking to mod.

This is my opinion. I'm sure it is not entirely accurate. But opinions don't have to be.

No offense to OP. I hope you enjoyed your time with the Sonic. Good luck with your sports minivan.

I love my sports minivan. Not as fast as the speed3. I think its a great car if you want fairly cheap fast, but its no economy car
