Quite fast, obviously. The stripes and spoilers kept it from being left in the smoke of your mazda.

On a side note, my GF has a 3... even she says it's slow and she's one of those that actually does the speed limit. Tho hers is auto of course :(.

A 2.3 liter engine + manual transmission is decently fast. Plus Mazda3 has very good handling

T, FTFY ;)

Honestly speaking, any new 2.3L engine is decently fast, especially when you are used to much older cars.
2007 BMW M240i 6MT
2006 Honda S2000 6MT (old)
2001 Honda Prelude SH 5MT (old)
