The Mazdaspeed3 is nuts. I have had one. Torque steer from hell and loud. Great if you are 24. Not sure if it is a good car for everyday motoring to the office. Mine was an 08. Also, it had MORE problems than my TDI (zero problems) all under 25k miles:

- Throttle body gasket leaking (check engine light)
- Gas cap leaking (check engine light)
- Squeaks in dash
- Headlamps started peeling

It was also a horrid gas hog. 23 mpg highway was the best fill I ever got. Otherwise, in town, ALWAYS under 20 mpg. If you get on it, more like 15.

Just saying. I think the 2014 is pretty much still the same drivetrain.
