2013 Mazda Mazdaspeed3 - CNET
So, I was surprised by how much I loved the 2013 Mazdaspeed3 -- torque steer and all. New navigation system by TomTom. Before I get into what changed my mind about the Mazdaspeed3's performance, let's take a minute to talk about what's new in the 2013 model: the cabin tech. Every Mazdaspeed3 is technically also a Touring trim level, so there's a reasonable level of accommodation before you check a single option box. Standard bells and whistles include a 265-watt Bose audio system with 10 speakers and Bluetooth wireless connectivity for hands-free calling and audio streaming. Audio sources for this slightly-better-than-basic stereo system are AM/FM terrestrial radio, a single CD slot with MP3 and WMA playback, a USB input, and an analog auxiliary input. However, our tester was equipped with pretty much the only major option available: the Mazdaspeed Technology Package. For $2,485 the standard receiver is replaced by a navigation system with a 5. 8-inch color touch screen and voice command. It perfectly replicates the interface of a TomTom navigation system, using the same maps, menu system, and voice command system that you'll find on a modern TomTom portable device. We first saw this system in the dashboard of the new. Source: www.cnet.com
