LOVE my GTI. I do have a 2012 and haven’t had many problems with it, I did the timing chain tensioner when I first got it just to get it out of the way.. not exactly sure why you should stay away from them. I went with a GT3076 and minor supporting mods and am pushing just over 400whp and it’s never broken down on me or had any issues at all really. Knock on wood. Thing is a little highway rocket.

@96GS300 2 года назад

Current Speed3 (2nd Gen) owner and I absolutely love it! Super practical, blast to drive, and so far reliable! I love driving my Speed3 over my friend’s 2018 RS and if I had to choose another hot hatch I’d likely go with an STI simply for boxer rumble, otherwise the Speed3 is the way to go in terms of power and fun from the factory!

@rahim4725 2 года назад

Did you have any rust issues? In Europe mazda is know as the rust king. I want to buy a Mazda 3 2nd gen but every Mazda over says they regret it because they need to care for it like a baby. Every little scratch needs to be fixed fast or it's gonna start rusting. But I heard from some owners that they keep them outside and get no rust at all.

@96GS300 2 года назад

@@rahim4725 Well fortunately for me I do not have to worry about rust at all, regular rainwater is perfectly fine on my vehicle. When I picked it up it had zero rust and it still has no rust, and it’s parked outside during the day but inside overnight. Bare in mind that I live where there is no salt at all and it rarely ever rains so there is that to consider

@Contempt805 2 года назад

The MazdaSpeed3 is UNREAL to own, I sold my my Evo and bought an s2000 and got bored of it and sold it and bought a speed3 and I couldn’t be happier, obviously my Evo was a faster more gnarly car but the speed3 is just so nice to sit in and so quick in stock form. Def recommend one if you’re in the market.

Not a hot hatch but I would go with a Saturn Ion Redline. You can get them in a cool coup like profile with rear suicide doors, and they are extremely cheap with just over 200 horsepower. I almost got one that needed a little bit of work for $1,000 but someone else beat me to it.

@willriley1619 2 года назад

You missed the Volvo C30. They are a little older now so im sure there are some cheap ones out there. They have a 2.5L 5 cylinder and they are available in 6spd. Simple downpipe and tune puts you over 300 tq to the wheels.

The Speed 3 is by far the best option. I may be biased but that car is so under rated that it got put in a list of cars that make mostly 200hp or less. When it's really more comparable to the wrx/sti focus st, evo X, and even the focus rs if you have some bolt ons. And it is way too much fun to drive. You will not find a better bang for your buck than a speed 3. They are undeniably reliable (if you know how to mod, tune, and take care of them) way too affordable and do have a very strong aftermarket scene even though it's a niche car. And they are okay to work on. Definitely not as easy as a 1.5L honda but a lot better than a 2.0L VW.
