Is the Mazdaspeed still a good looking car?
Mazda still offers good looking cars with manual transmissions, all of which drive very nicely. But we’ve been begging the company to bring back sportier MazdaSpeed models. Like AMG is to Mercedes, MazdaSpeed was the company’s in-house tuner. It’s been silent for years now, which is probably why old MazdaSpeed models are now very affordable.
