How would you improve 2007 Mazda MAZDASPEED3? Leather trim the doors, Move dash-board vents closer to base of windshield, allow driver to completely disable the air-conditioner when climate control is in auto mode, make first and second gear a slightly higher gear ratio, increase range of clutch control, give more intensity control to the blue accent lighting, change the high beams to HID xenon and beef up the low beam xenon lights, add a boost pressure gauge, optimize engine mapping to 91-92 octane gas, move intercooler to front of car, change rim lug pattern to a more common pattern so tire selection is more accommodating, add a turbo temperature gauge or timer to let you know when it is safe to shut off the engine, add a full manual mode on the turbo boost control when Dynamic Stability Control is turned off and make this engine warm up faster!
2007 Mazda MAZDASPEED3 Review: This is a great car and it's very fun to drive. This car is very agile with quick acceleration and braking response and better than average visibility. With the BOSE 7-speaker sound system, which includes a BOSE base box under the passenger seat, these are all the variables for a perfect commuter car. I can pass those left lane losers that forgot the "slower drivers stay right" courtesy. Also, avoiding potholes and road debris is as easy as a twitch of the steering wheel. I can humble just about any tailgater with a single punch of the gas and finally, I can stop on a dime when that cell phone talking teenager or half asleep, velocitized commuter misses the brake cue from the red, illuminated devices on the car in front of them. Oh, and by the way, if the car behind me misses my brake cue, I can swerve out of the way while braking on any surface with my 4-wheel anti-lock, extra beefy disc brakes. Seriously, though, this car is perfect for me. My wife, 2 kids and a fifth wheel (metaphor for fifth person, not a recreational trailer) fit comfortably. The back seat has as much leg room as most mid-sized sedans and the hatch has twice the capacity of most trunks. Back seats fold down so you can haul those fence posts and boards if needed. The front seats are very comfortable and the anti-whiplash, head restraint actually touches your head when you sit back. The GT model comes loaded with many cool features like a gas mileage computer, rain sensing wipers, automatic headlights, 6-disc CD changer w/ auxiliary input port, HID Xenon low beams, additional 12vDC socket and leather trimmed seats. I takes some practice launching from a dead stop, but when the tires spin, there’s very little torque steer. Actually, I love the fact that I have all that power in my hand on the steering wheel; it's very exhilarating! Last month, we had snow and black ice, so I took it out on the road. This car handles better than my old 93 civic did on ice and snow. I tested the traction control/dynamic stability control by swerving, braking and accelerating with the stock summer tires and I was very impressed. So impressed, I drove it to work (40 miles) everyday of our icy weather. This car won't lose control. The PCM (power control module) controls the fuel to the engine regardless of how much gas you give it, so if it slips, it brakes and cuts fuel accordingly. I love my car so much, I try and find reasons to go for drives (my wife has caught on though).
