I'm 5'10", ~190 and it's not that tight for me. :nee:
Granted, there are a good few teenage boys bigger than me. :lol:

Five foot, ten 225 and it was cutting off the circulation in my legs and squeezing my ribs uncomfortably and the console felt as if it was pushing me out the door...even the wife, the car was for her, was not comfortable, at all.

Adjust the seat :nee:

Seriously though, some reviewers did say it wasn't all that comfortable, but I've yet to have a problem with it.
My only sort-of issue is simply one of technique... relearning the art of the smooth launch and seamless upshift.


(oh, and sorry Gas.. didn't mean to make it all about me :whistle:)

It launched wonderfully, smooth shifts and cornered like a kart, just a tight cabin to us.

The 2010 Mazda3 and Mazdaspeed3 intended for North American sales are built in Hofu City, Yamaguchi, Japan. The Hofu plant is Mazda’s flagship facility where the automaker builds transmissions and the Mazda3, Mazdaspeed3 and Mazda6, however, Mazda6s that are made for the North American market are manufactured in Michigan.

By June 2008, the Hofu plant had produced more than 8 million vehicles and 27 million transmissions since starting operations in 1981.
Now quit jackin' MY thread, bitches :nee::lol:

Nice bang for the buck, but that's a lot of power for wrong wheel drive. I'd look @ the WRX, the driving experience would be so much better w/ awd.

Thought about it, but I'd have had to get the base model WRX to get the price I was looking for.

FWD behavior aside, I've been really happy with the Speed3 so far.
