Mazda3 is the second model to receive the MPS performance shot in the arm.

Sharing the same athletic 190kW and class-leading 380Nm engine as the Mazda6 MPS and new CX-7 crossover, the 3 MPS simply crushes its fellow hot-hatch rivals. With in-gear acceleration times to worry such revered marques like Porsche and Audi and an alluring sub-$40,000 starting price, there isn’t much to dislike about the 3 MPS. But wait, there’s more… it’s the quickest car in Mazda’s line-up!
