Are you looking for a hot hatch without the new price tag? In this week’s Throwback Thursday, we take a second look at the 2010 Mazda MazdaSpeed3.

The front wheel drive hatch has 263 horsepower and enough torque steer to “pull the steering wheel from your arms,” according to Roman. It is quick, fun, and potentially violent. But, it is also a steal in terms of the cost of a sports car as you can get into a 2010 model beginning at around $16,000.  If a used vehicle is not your cup of tea, then check mazdausa.com as they just posted the online configurator for the all-new 2014 Mazda3.

Check out Roman’s fun and informative review of the car below, and check out other cars we think are worth a second look HERE.
