OK class, tell me, what does this button do?
If you said “Well Mr. Riswick, it is the Advanced Keyless System's trunk-mounted lock/unlock button” you would be completely wrong. Nope, that's what the below button does.

Instead, the top button is essentially the trunk's latch. The old Mazda 3 had the usual pull handle under that [...]

Last week was particularly stressful. I'm in the middle of escrow and trying to move out of my current place, all while watching a river of money flow from my accounts. It makes me pretty nervous to say the least.
I was surprised to see the Mazdapeed fall so far down the list as for me [...]

I'm going to have to disagree slightly with Erin regarding the Mazdaspeed 3's manual transmission. I've been driving it a fair bit this week and its clutch is still proving difficult to consistently drive smoothly. Normally, give me a few minutes and I'll acclimate quickly. But in the 3,I find the clutch engagement point and [...]

Pictured is the standard upholstery found in the Mazdaspeed3. Below you'll find the standard door trim and dash trim found in the Mazdaspeed3. It's all a weird dot-matrixy wave pattern in red — and I don't like it. I think it looks cheap and tacky.
Contrast these to the old Mazdaspeed 3 seats. Were they especially [...]

This will be the first of many entries about the lighting in our long-term 2010 Mazdaspeed 3. Though it appears there's a lot of red and blue competing for your attention here, it's not at all overwhelmingin person. Every dial and control is easy to find, which is critical, since there area lot of them [...]

I didn't expect to explore the limits of our 2010 Mazdaspeed 3's hauling ability so early in our relationship. But last night four tires (mounted on alloys) and other assorted racecar supplies needed to make a 40-mile trip.
The 60/40 rear seats were immediately folded; they go perfectly flat to open up a 43-cubic-foot space. Just [...]

Drove our 2010 Mazdaspeed 3 last night and had much the same feeling of euphoria Kurt did. I haven't driven aMazdaspeed 3 in ages, and this is the best one yet. Everything just seems a little more refined, a littlebetter sorted out in this car.
I particularly like the six-speed manual gearbox. The shifter's gates are [...]

…the Protege5 was the sportiest hatchback/wagon thing you could buy from Mazda .
Arguably the best handling car in its class, the Protege, like most Mazdas over the years, was always saddled with an uncompetitive motor. In base trim, the two liter motor gave you 130 horsepower. The MP3 Protege gave you 10 more, but asked [...]
