Mazdaspeed 3 DEalership Houston Texas

Reader’s Question:

I’ve always thought that Mazda’s always excelled in styling. I think I’m about ready to get one and drive it in Houston, Texas but got lost on Mazda 3 and Mazdaspeed 3. So what’s the difference?

Hello there, Jeffrey. Yes, you are right. In my opinion, too, Mazda’s got it made in styling. Evidence of this for me goes back to the days they came up with the first RX-7 and MX-5. Now we have the Mazda 3. Mazda, like any respectable motor company, has its own group that churns out sporty versions of stock vehicles. Mazda has Mazdaspeed doing this for their cars.

Check out the Mazdaspeed 3 at your Houston, Texas Mazda dealer and you will see some noticeable differences. You can see a spoiler, flared front fenders and that the hood is bigger than the base Mazda 3. The lower air intake is also bigger in the Mazdaspeed version. Underneath the hood, you’ll find a 2.3 liter engine that gives you an exciting 263 horsepower performance. Are you ready to say, “Woot, woot?” Over at the standard Mazda 3, you also get a 2.3 Liter engine that churns a reliable 156 hp. Handling has always been excellent for the Mazda 3. I’ll leave the Mazdaspeed 3 experience to your imagination. I guess, pretty much, you’ll base your choice on how you plan to use the vehicle. So, if you’re looking at a zippy, “fun” drive around Houston, you can’t go wrong with a Mazda 3. But if you’re thinking more like “Fast and the Furious,” go for Mazdaspeed 3. There’s my five cents of opinion for you, Jeffrey.
