I'd love to see Mazda return the MazdaSpeed 3 to the US, the new one is really good, but too slow for my liking. Although, I've sat in the interior and it honestly puts a lot of compact and even midsize sedans to shame, not just in design but also in materials quality, honestly Mazda's changed so much in such a small amount of time.
Agreed. My 16 had some nicer materials than our F30 and the new one really seems a good bit nicer.

I never liked the MS3, they were 400 pounds heavier than the regular 3 and just had laughable torque steer. But tuned with proper brakes, they were pretty impressive.
