You talking about the speed limiter (which is 155mph) or the boost limiter in low gears? It has both, I guess.

Nice review! I own a 2010 MS3, and I gotta say you're almost spot on with this. One other thing to note is that this car is easy and cheap to mod. Torque steer is basically fixed with a $100 part, and for under $2000 worth of bolt ons you can squeeze out over 300whp (the stock whp is closer 215 or 220).

I would happily sell my speed3 and a kidney for a speed6 wagon.

MS3 FTW!

My shifter knob doesn't even have the shift pattern on it, so even if a carjacker technically knows how to drive stick, they have to find the right gear first.

Found the picture I took!

MS3 FTW! I absolutely do not regret buying mine, even slightly. Torque steer? First of all, that's part of the appeal. Secondly, I got a rear motor mount for $100 and torque steer is basically gone. Understeer on a track? $200 for a rear sway bar fixes that (I just autox-ed a MS3 with a RSB yesterday, and I kicked…

Don't forget that it's incredibly tunable. I hung out this weekend with a fully bolted MS6 that ran an 11.28 1/4 mile and easily makes over 500whp (fastest mazdaspeed vehicle in the world at the moment). One of the truly great sleepers of the last decade.

You nailed it. MS3 is totally my favorite. Always fun, always reminding you that you're moments away from being in a ditch. Maybe not the fastest, maybe not the best, but definitely my favorite.
