The MS3 has 263bhp, not 274bhp.

I think he is pulling that info directly from Mazda.. Maybe they need to update their website if they are wrong..

"I have read the Mazda site, I did not see what he saw. Maybe i will comb through it again..."
 
I found it.
 
Kinda funny (but I'll bet it's a glitch).
 
Go to the Mazdaspeed3 'wild child' page.
 
On the left hand side (under shopping tools) select "Build a Mazdaspeed3".
 
Select the trim (sport or Grand Touring), color, and then options until you get to the last page ("Summary").
 
On the left hand side you'll see "print window sticker". Select that.
 
A little window pops up with 'your' Mazdaspeed3 window sticker showing trim/colors/yada yada yada.
 
ON THAT WINDOW STICKER, under "engine" it says "274hp"
 
It also lists the mileage as 20/26 on that 'window sticker' which doesn't agree with the 20/28 number listed elsewhere. I think all that was found was a typo. BFD.
 
Like it really REALLY matters whether it is 'rated' at 274hp or 263hp. It is what it is. I don't know too many people saying "gee, I'd buy one if it only had 274hp instead of 263hp".

I totally agree with you, but Mazda has misstated HP numbers in the past and got a black eye for it.
 
Personally, I would take either HP numbers in my Mazda3...

Then perhaps they should rate it conservatively and not get into a numbers game.

The current Car and Driver has driven the Mazdaspeed3 to a speedy 5.3 0-60 time! So much for all that talk about the car doing 6.0 0-60!

Just FYI: I sent a complaint through the website yesterday and they responded early afternoon. They said the correction would happen ASAP.
Since it has not happened yet, I guess it will occur next week.

#53 of 63 NO sunroof option?!?? by dairyshick

Sep 03, 2006 (9:14 am)

I found it pretty odd that neither trim of the MS3 offers a sunroof as an option? What's up with that?
