very true about the EuroFocus... but I would still love it over here lol.Yea, I'm hoping it handles as good as it accelarates. All that tourque might strain the front wheels a bit. But knowing that it is riding on a really good suspension, and that the normal Mazda3 performs better on the lateral g's than the STi, is a good indicator that it might kick some ****.
(Hope its not like the Vectra

I just read Motor Trend's first drive article and they seem to really like it! Mazda will only make 5000 a year supposedly. I would love to have one as my family type car but, I don't think I can afford it right now.

The kids over at IGN got the opportunity to drive the MazdaSpeed3 over at Laguna Seca... they gave it a thumbs up.

Mazda is controlling oversteer by using a tourqe limiter that takes affect in the first and second gears.
