Mazdaspeed3 BL

The Mazda Mazdaspeed3 BL is a powerful hatchback, part of the second generation of the popular Mazda 3 series, designed by Hideki Suzuki and assembled in Hofu, Japan, from 2007 to 2013. This model includes a 6-speed manual gearbox with a turbocharged 2.3L L3T direct-injection 16-valve 4-cylinder VVT engine. Its maximum speed is 155 Mph, accelerating from 0-62 Mph in 6.2 seconds. One of the most advanced features is the torque-sensing conical limited-slip differential leveraging the transmission's wider 2nd through 5th gear ratio. The Dunlop 18-inch tire setup guarantees better handling and road performance and includes larger diameter stabilizers for a superior cornering experience.

The rougher, more aggressive look of the Mazda Mazdaspeed3 BL incorporates futuristic aspects on top of the traditional Mazda design language. The interior's bucket seats with sporty upholstery remind the original Mazda 3 cabin. It comes with a much-improved hydraulic power-assisted steering and suspension system. The braking system now adds large 12.6-inch ventilated discs for stopping assistance, supporting the 235/40R18 tires. At an $8,663 price, the Mazda Mazdaspeed3 BL is an attractive choice for sport car enthusiasts and fans of Mazda design, offering delicate handling and an impeccable daily driver performance.
