The Canadian 2010 MazdaSpeed3 Photos. These are the first Mazdaspeed3 in all of Canada, I got to drive them around the city of Toronto for the day to catch some photos.

I believe they're available for purchase right now at dealers, but they won't arrive for another few weeks or so. MSRP: $32,995

Nothing in this class has the type of standard equipments of the 2010 MazdaSpeed3. Adaptive Headlights, navigation, auto dimming mirrors, Automatic Climate Control... All standard, there are no options available.

There is only one model for the Canadian 2010 MazdaSpeed3, fully loaded. =)

$4000 more than a 09, no thanks... even more if you factor in that you can get an 09 for $26k brand new

you push it to open the hatch rather than the lift handle we currently use.

Damn Mazda and hood scoops don't mix at all...leave that to subaru. And the Front is still awkward.....

When will mazda answer our cry for a sedan speed3? So far they have done a great job listening to improvements and changes but we need a sedan speed

Nice pics..
Are the tires the same size as previous model or did they increased the diameter of the wheel well? The tires look so small and wheel gap looks huge.

They are gourgeous looking rims but i think they went with to many spokes making it not look right and the car needs a drop lol.

They are as a matter of fact 225's right off of mazda canadas website when comparing the cars to competitors

There are at least 40 (visible), maybe up to 60 or more, 2010 Speed3's at the Richmond BC port. All colours ready to go. Should be at dealers soon.

29k 2009 Before any rebates - $33k 2010 is a 13.7% price hike year over year.... homes have come down that much this past year and unless your in the US never depreciate to less than 50% of their value in 15 months :chuckle

there is nothing agressive about the 2010 MS3 to me.
besides to hood scoop, it looks too similar to a normal 3.

the pre-facelift speed3's were much better and agressive looking.

however, what powers the '10 speed3's? same engine?

I'm staying away from the blue this time around. It's a nice colour in average light, but in bright sunlight it's so much more teal-coloured it just doesn't work. white or black for me, i think.

yes, same engine. the difference is with the hoodscoop the intercooler is a lot more effective, and so the engine is probably more efficient.

I am very dissapointed with the interior as they did not change much at all from the GTE's. Of course the seats and the guage clusters are different but thats it. Very dissapointed from the fact that barely anything is different but i do like the interior
