That MPS is just so underrated!
true had a 2004 model for a year, 2.0L 150hp... and let me tell u. it felt way quicker and was quicker than any 150hp car and its proven as I raced a few
@@michaelpittner2019 so not an mps?
Miata42 no, not a mps I was pointing out the fact that the 2.0l Mazda 3 sport with 150hp is very quick
@@michaelpittner2019 hmm if I can't afford an MPS I'll look into those :p
Miata42 depends where you live, like I’ve seen like 5 mps in my life...
The Mazdaspeed 3 (US name) has a ton of tuning potential, too. With full bolt-ons, a mild turbo upgrade (like the BNR S3), and a solid E25 tune, you can reliably make 380/380 @ the wheels. All of this for just a few grand. GREAT bang for the buck.
Numinous the K04 can put down 310-315 on e30 and water/meth too. Granted it runs about of breath fast... I’ve been looking at various turbo upgrades for my Speed6, the S3 and S4 are at the top of my list. Don’t have any e85 available in my area, closest station is 4 hours away :(
And then a shite remap along with bent rods
Numinous slow
@@trey5881 Yeah, Bugatti Veyron is faster
I drive my MPS first gen as a daily, modded it up to 400BHP and 500Nm. love this car.
Thats a fast tampon
Do you have any vids I’m currently in a 3 sport but looking at a gen 1 mps aero
@@SIMONLEE666 check out jesse collingham, he's just got one. Very nice car and underrated imo
I have a 2010 Mazdaspeed 3, it's completely stock, and may I say that is by far the best handling hatch I've ever driven. It's got tons of power (263) and it's geared very well. It's by far the best bang for your buck you can get in the hot hatch world. It has a few flaws, it can sometimes have turbo seal problems and the aftermarket for it isn't as good as most other cars. I totally recommend it to anyone thinking about buying it. It puts a smile on my face 24/7
Dillon Simpkins the aftermarket parts are easy to get, so what do u mean?!
Edgard Salguero they require a lot of building, example, the fuel system is a bit weak from factory, and it needs a few mods before you can do just an exhaust, simple stuff if you aren’t a dumby and look into it, just saying it’s not as easily modifiable or as well backed up as for say, a Subaru Impreza (they’re a lot slower to begin with though so 😂)
I love my 2010 speed3. It's a badass car. I just straight pipe that girl all the way through and it sounds purdy!! Its super fun!! Been a proud owner for 8 years!
Dillon Simpkins the aftermarkets pretty good for our cars. Entry level inexpensive turbo upgrades are abundant (corksport, BNR) or you can step up to bigger more expensive kits like ATP with the GTX series Garrett turbos or Borgwarner and it’s EFR series that are capable of 600+ with a built block and auxiliary fueling

“That’s for another time thou”
*in there 😉
I had the same idea
Mum has an i30 active not the n but it’s got the same steering wheel I kinda want to stick my fingers in there now
2006: You thought I’m gonna let you roll in a Hyundai?
2017: Count me in please!
Carspotnlsc you're gonna wreck it in a garage trying to drift it
Carspotnlsc great reference
Endless Roadie Not with the Genesis, and if you know what you're doing. 😂
2017: South Korea still producing cars... omg
They made the Coupe in 2000 and it was great but stop, ok? xD
Trueeeee
this video is basicly the reason i've bought my mps about a year ago
still loving it,
Watched this video years ago when it came out and just bought a speed 3, love the hell out of it
How has it been ? It been a year since you commented
How’s it been?
I love all the people hating that it's "just" a hyundai. but there was a day in the US when Japanese cars were comsidered to be a absolute joke.....
I can attest to this. Loving my Elantra with their 1.6T under the hood. Fantastic little car.
There was also a day in the US when American cars were considered to be an absolute joke...
Isn’t Hyundai from South Korea?
Daniel Isbell When was that? I can't think of any decade when American cars weren't awesome in some way.
american rides were crap during the 70s-80s due to legislations which made them ugly looking and slow
Still want the mazda... JDM cars tend to have a plentiful amount of mods
Love how the MazdaSpeed3 has a Huge Smile but can also give you the feel for Aggression on the Road! 😂
For a first timer, Hyundai did a really good job with the i30N. But I'd still take the MPS. Such a riot, that car! Looks great too!
Finally the Mazdaspeed 3 gets some recognition
I love my 2010 Mazdaspeed3
Henry McComments I have one as well. Love it.
Tommy Hiltrigger I bought a Cobb access-port for some ots maps also to remove the hp and torque limits in first and second gear
Ditto
Henry McComments that’s the way to go. Mine has an accessport with a custom 93 tune, intake, hpfp, coilovers, turboback exhaust, and tarmac fifteen52’s. Extremely fun. Loud turbo
Tommy Hiltrigger there's a lot of settings to use with the accessport like over-boost and launch control. I eventually want to continue my mods need the money lol
Ever since seeing how well their rally cars are build I have been waiting for them to make a hot hatch, and I am so glad they re doing it now and how well they have done it.
I still have my 2010 MPS and loving it! Was contemplating on swapping it for an N but now having second thoughts after reading some of the comments here. I guess I’ll have fun with it for another more year 😊 Thanks for this review!
To be honest, i'd rather take the Mazda. Better to work on, simpler etc
And the Hyundai is a piece of shit.
Don't buy the Mazda, that 2,3 turbo engine is known for having problems. Also, that same engine is the predecesor of Ford's EcoBoost engines
But that is why you can buy it. As it is easy to work on, you can clear these problems yourself, and that is all a car guy wants.
Uhhh, what problems? The early years you had to keep an eye on the variable timing but other than that, I'm not sure what problems you're talking about. Pretty much, if you avoid the first 2 or 3 years of the car, you don't even have to worry about the few problems those had.
And all while the Mazda Torque steers you into a tree
I just bought a 2012 Mazdaspeed 3. And I never thought about them until my Dad sent the link for it to me but the first couple weeks have been a blast owning it.
How's the 3 holding up?
A friend of mine builds a Mazda 3 MPS Time Attacker, it's a great joy! And with straight pipe exhaust it even sounds nice :D
“...just wanna stick my fingers in there, that’s for another time though” repeated this clip a number of times and it had me laughing out loud every time. Great video guys, really looking forward to this i30N!
I would definitely want the Mazda since it does 0-100 in 5 secs and it’s a legendary sleeper
6,7 secs
Where did u get 5 secs from
Hmm... one day they will have an 'affordable' car I could actually afford XD
The Mighty Dash - first gen i30 with the crdi engine. Great cars IMHO.
Buy a miata, fun as shit and really cheap
The Mighty Dash just buy an mr2 fam
Maflon depends on area mx5s here are about 5-6k for shit paint
if you live in the UK or US, then maybe
beautiful cinematography, as ever.
I love the MPS - drove one back in the states in 07 and was very pleasantly impressed (lady from the dealer wasn't at all - she nearly threw up). My friend and I ended up buying and modifying a regular mazda 3 (auto) - auctioned new, great price, turbo kit, all custom manifold, etc... got it to near 300 horses while still looking absolutely stock - that was the fun part. Was killing my fairly stock R-X8 at the time. :) thx for bringing back awesome memories.
Also make sure those timing chains are done on the older mps.
The 3 and the 6 were notorious for weak stock chains usually started rattling around the 50k mark and is a pretty expensive fix.
This video was a fun and refreshing feel that you added to the channel and to my feed. You got a like! :)
I got a Mazda 6 sportsline 2.5 from 2009 and the Bose really rocks 😍😂
Their such amazing cars. I have a srt4, but I have a lot of respect and love for them since the Mazdaspeed protege.
That Mazda is a beauty
i like the older model MPS better then the newer smiling face one
M. Hayes you are right but what do you think abt the 3rd edition?? Hehe
Agree, the third edition looks very good but... they might never make an MPS which is a shame...
M. Hayes agreed both good cars though
I have a 07 mps....love it
I have an 09.......love it
Check out our buyers guide before you pull the trigger on your MAZDASPEED 3! ua-cam.com/video/wj54vUHrHeE/v-deo.html
I just listened you for the first time today. I must say I fully enjoyed your comparison. Great t know there is someone more then Clarkson that is not boring behind the wheel. Well done Bro :)
I'm a seaman and I've seen what Hyundai is capable of doing. Large 300+ m long ships entirely made by Hyundai.
That company is very powerful and it's only a matter of know-how to cripple VW Golf GTI or Ford Focus ST.
Well they've had 53 years. Chop chop.
When ever I see those Mazda headlights I get excited because they look like rx8 lights
The "AAC" Format never dissapoints! GJ as always
UA-cam has ads that last 5 seconds, Carthrottle has an ad that goes for the first 5 minutes of the video. Good job.
Finally, nice to see this make a return. The i30N is an insane car, but the 3 MPS is definitely a good car for the money.
Badge snobs incoming
do you like dodge? I mean,, neon srt4 is that being a badge snob?
Hyundai are still cheaply made, it looks fine now. In 5 years it looks tattered as all hell. But yeah badge snob blah blah blah. Save your money and buy something cool and second hand than this fuckheap
@@MartiniPinball my 2012 is amazing still
@@MartiniPinball the genesis coupe still looks good and the i30N is known as one of the best hot hatchback
The host just makes the review so fun to watch and his opinion isn't biased, and just what us buyers wana hear.
Best serie is back at it again. Loved it
I miss my Mazdaspeed 3... 2013 technology pack... It was so easy to mod and get rid of torque steer... I obliterated everything from a roll... I smoked every wrx I was up against from a roll and it was so easy to build, water methanol E85.. The whole works.. Easy and cheap. Best car I've owned.
Bought a tech pack '13 a couple months ago, I been putting it on the subie bois ever since
Sorry.. already have a 3 MPS 2010 with some tuned stuffs... finally quicker and even with the mods... still cheaper and fun to drive! :D
Love the exhaust crackle at the end of the vid!
Finally some Hyundai I30 N coverage
Tier 1Tuner
**Tuner music starts playing**
I love the Mazda 6 2.3L MPS
Awesome video Alex and Ethan. Loved it. And yeah you were right. It was indeed awesome
Love ya stuff Car Throttle! Keep making Awesome affordable car videos, they are so good! Try and do some classic 90's cars; STI, S2000, Integra Type R, Honda CRX, Honda NSX, Toyota Mr2, Rx7, Supra, Evo, 180sx.
I'll take the Mazda
Harrison Baker same
1-It's not a Hyundai
Harrison Baker said an ignorant lol
The Mazda would rape that Hyundai...
I still love my 2011 to death, even 7 years later. Intake, turbo back exhaust, and a tune and you're keeping up with an STi.
"This is one of those cars you can rob a bank in and get away with it"
Well then challenge accepted
U out of prison yet bro
@@user-fd8rc2jr6e seems not
I have a first Gen mazdaspeed 3 with 300+ hp after a tune, it also has mods. I rebuilt the engine cause it blew because the oil pump gave out. With the tune, it's putting down all the torque :)
Bought my MPS in April 2019. Watched this video afterwards, felt cute, and might made some things with it :]
hands on, the Mazda 3 MPS is one-of-a-kind. The only real underdog. It's shady, and mostly unrecognized.
People keep on smiling at me while driving by, just because of that sweet Mazda-Smile. They worked this car out pretty well.
I used to have the predecessor many years ago (the 323). Great car at the time, very affordable!! But now looking for something with more power.
NothingHereToWatch have some respect
NothingHereToWatch and this is why we’ve got the god awful feminists.
Против Глобал sry my slav friend
Depends on your price range and style preference. If you're looking for something around 34k you could look for a used Focus RS. That's probably your best bet for more power. If you want a coupe, check the upcoming Kia Stinger. All the GT trims come standard with a twin-turbo V6, and that's starting similar to the Focus RS. There's cheaper trims, but really... Why?
323F with pop-up headlights was my first ever car, awesome memories.
I've driven a Mercedes GLA for my driving lessons for most of the time. Then they put me into an Hyundai i30, never wanted to go back to the merc
I love my Mazdaspeed 3. People often underestimate this car.
Brandon Covington they’re monsters from a 40 roll
Who’s never heard of the Hyondai Alex! The awesome commercial of the car ripping through the track will be remembered
I would be really curious if alex could test a brand new car vs a 10 year old car that's had a good refresh of the bushings mounts suspension etc. Nothing aftermarket just a full oem refresh. I would throw some brand new tires in and I think the mazda might be way closer to the hyundai in feel.
2:27 "I want to stick my fingers in there, that's for another time though"😂
My Dad owned both gens of the mazdaspeed 3, that second gen one was the car in which I learned to drive a manual and the car I drove the most between 16-18 years old.. never honed the car as I always drove it on public roads but man did that car feel like it had an endless supply of power! Recommend it to anyone who's looking to buy one, they seem pretty cheap for the amount of car you get and they're fairly reliable!
That red Mk1 MPS is sooo beautiful
u keep calling the mazda old but its pretty new....maybe im just crazy cause i drive a 89 festiva haha
xan_carman
Lol same here, I can't think of a car less than 10 years old nearly approaching 'old car' status.
Some people are so ignorant these days, "but its a hyundai". Hyundai as a brand has improved so much over the years with the genesis and and also the kia stinger...
the problem is that they don't have personality and they are always underpowerded compared to the competitors ex kia stinger and genesis
Oh man, I forgot about the Stinger too!
Music Man LOL all the genesis models are faster than competitors like Mercedes and BMW 😂😂 look it up m8
NiL Nine oooou i think someones civic was beat by a tibron....
But it's a Hyundai. An awesome Hyundai. :^)
Too bad the Hyundai I have is shit. It handles like glass though.
Are you still planning on doing a video of the 3 MPS, genuinely interested in buying one soon and your videos are bye far the most unbiased and insightful on UA-cam.
I drive a normal Mazda 3 and it's build solid af. No rassling, no shaking or anything. Even with the (btw awesome sound system) on heccin loud with lots of bass nothing shakes or vibrates.
Love that MPS, they are way more expensive in France BTW...
right hand cars are useless unless its India that most of population cannot afford them or japan that don't need them back, Australia don't need them either because they like BIG ASS POWERFUL ENGINES so basically the only market for these cars is UK where Taxes for such small car is 600 pounds and most people don't want to spend that much hence really low price on cars that nobody buys
I prefer the mazda 6 mps..I know its bigger but the 4x4 is worth it!
waynusp1664 that’s what I drive lol
My favorite series on this channel
Good to know!
Here in Canada we have the Elantra Sport. It's like the saloon version of this. It's also a lot more of a sleeper. They toned down the looks and the exhaust note but kept the performance
❤The Mazdaspeed Mps❤
The Mazda is a fantastic value, has great aftermarket support, and is quick. Only downside is its wrong wheel drive :(
Conor wilson That's not what he meant.....
Brayan Samed oh i see now ..
Farhan Mohammed yeah ik
Dan Boyle rear wheel drive car being wrong?
I agree. I have a Speed3 (Same as MPS) and wish it was AWD at least. FWD is fine but no drifting!!
I really enjoy these short, informative videos with cheaper older cars, surely every other Petrolhead loves nothing better than setting a budget for a certain car, finding what you want then rapidly increasing that budget with "if I stopped paying for that, did this," type maths then ending up in a lifetime of debt (in theory).
Just got my very first car, I’m 18 and have worked and saved up and got myself the 2011 Mazda 3 mps series 1 luxury model for a bargain on gumtree. With a brand new engine replacement and turbo replacement both stock for mps, due to the previous owner when she got the car serviced they screwed the oil filter which poured all over the engine. So they replaced it with a stock brand new mps turbo and engine which has only done 31000km. I’m in love with the mps
I prefer the older generation mazda 3, it looked more aggressive whereas the newer one is all rounded in design.... Just like what happened with the vw golf etc..... The only hot hatch that improved in design was the opel/Vauxhall astra
Honestly I would prefer that Mazda
Dick Stroke fssss man not again with this picture
I've had my mazda 3 mps gen2 for a month now cant beat its brilliant car quick enough standard torque steer makes it lively doesnt like the rain tho if you have the traction control on it just flashes up even in 4th gear
Those are pretty amazing cars and I do hope I'll get to own any of those. They seem fun to drive.
I actually like the Mazda more.
You’re representing me now. What you think, I’m gonna let you roll in a Hyundai?
Gün Gün han?
I have a 2012 Mazdaspeed3 and I absolutely love the hell out of it
2nd gen MPS/MS3 look great with the right front fascia body mods & red tail lights
The mazda actually gets well over 300hp with a simple remap.
that's what they tell you on every forum BUT you always see them coming back "Hey Guys my engine is seized up, i had X tune or X Remap pls send help"
@@shadiandrew not true at all lol
@@MarcGismondi I have a custom tune with meth injection and no problems....Other than keeping traction.
@@planetscott1 mzr motor is a hit or miss, i had fbo stock timing chain at 220k km, then i built it for peace of mind lol.
@@MarcGismondi The 2.3 MZR is just a bit weak even NA without the turbo, combine that with a awful fuel pump and they very easily go bang. With only a few decent tuners out there the majority of people wont maintain them properly and they will break. Its a high performance Mazda and much like the Rotaries, maintenance is key.
Saying that though they can be unbelievably solid, currently at 160k Miles and its only had 1 Chain Replacement.

Finally! Some love for the Mazdaspeed3/MPS on this channel. BUT!....... it should have been a GenWon.
Nice! I own a Mazda 3 mps, and it rocks! Only downside: 9 liters of 98 ocatane...
Anyone who acts like a badge snob around Kia and Hyundai’s are daft when you look at how far they’ve come over the past few years it’s clear that that know what they’re doing. I’ve driven plenty as I’ve worked with them and they’re great cars, well built and nicely finished as well the Cee’d gt is definitely underpowered and has the wrong engine but my hope is that with the Stinger coming and the i30N that Kia will follow suit. Plus Albert Beirman and Peter Shreyer onboard they’re only bound to get better and better. But then what do I know I have a Golf Gti 😂
Yeah, Hyundai and kia have come a long way, credit where credit is due. I used to be one of the badge snobs who joked about these cars 10 or so years ago
We need the i40n
Minecraftcar88 and the i20n coupe
Hope the N division can cook up something nice for us in the future
John J really! That will be a beast but I am not to keen on the veloster
AHMAD H. Yeah
Chacalx98EVO can you imagine i10n 😂
I️ had a 1st gen Speed3 (MPS) and its an amazing car. Responds well to mods, just make sure the VVT actuator was replaced after the recall lol
I personaly want more episodes of Awesome Affordable Cars
To me mazda 3 still looks somehow more fresh than hyundai.
308 gti ❤️
I bought my mk 1 mps for £1000, 2007 and 78000 miles, needed a few jobs doing to it but yes it’s very quick and handles very well!
I’d actually consider buying this Hyundai. I’ve driven the Mazdaspeed and all I remember about it was the torque steer which was unsettling under full throttle. But that’s just my opinion based on maybe three hours seat time
I FUCKING HATE BADGES SNOBBERS SO MUCH!... they wud have a golf GTI over this i30N cuz of the badge... but the i30N is so much more fun to drive and all lot more bang for ur buck... i mean albert engineered it ffs... ik the quality of the interior isnt upto VW standard but as alex said, hyundai has spent the money of the chassis and that's where it matters!
ask petrolhead what they would take, between an rx7 and an i30N and you would be alone hating in your hyundai its not badge snobber, the mazda is just a better bang for the buck car
Music Man i30N is a hothatch and the RX7 is a sports coupe... Obviously Id have the RX7 but I dunno y u wud compare a hot hatchback to a sportscar
Rejoice Rone it’s because vw has an actual history with hot hatches
but is still more pretty, more fun, and with a tune and a turbo will kick you korean ass
but even if we would do the experiement with the speed 3 you would still be hating alone in your hyundai
Would personally rather have the AWD 6 MPS for £4k
Stephen Avery yep
Stephen Avery I'm pretty sure its fwd.. Not too sure but pretty sure.
Casey Lopez it’s all wheel drive, but it’s an active system so most of the time it will be front wheel drive.
Yeah the 6 MPS is AWD,its really above and beyond the 3 MPS off the line,makes a great sleeper car 😂😂
Stephen Avery My brother had a Speed6 (the MPS), it was probably the one he bought but the thing was an absolute piece of shit. I love the car a lot, and I really hope it was his specific one that was awful and fucked up because frankly someday I want to buy one myself
Just ordered mine with luxury pack and sunroof, brilliant cars
Mk1 3 MPS owner here. Amazing cars that are proper sleepers and the best part is NOBODY knows what they're, even most petrol heads. I love it! Ps, just make sure it's had its VVT + timing chain changed :)
The speed3 is an awesome car but sadly its so underrated and unknown :(
that Huyndai... how can one not love it??
Wife has a 2012 Mazda3 Skyactiv (same engine as current Mx5). No power, but with good tires, the thing is a go kart around a curvy road.
You had a light out on the MPS... Really drove my OCD mad 🤣
