For those among you who require more speed - a lot more speed - may I offer the 2008 Mazdaspeed3?



This 4-door hatchback's main purpose is not to be an urban commuter, but to leave the commuters behind. With a 263-horsepower aluminum 2.3-liter DISI (Direct Injection Spark Ignition) turbo engine and even more torque (280-plus pound-feet), this pocket rocket eats up the road, leaping off the line and jumping to 60 mph in a blistering just-under 6-second speed. It's fast.
