Overall Performance[]
Achievable Classes | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
The Mazdaspeed 3 has a stock top speed of 211 km/h (131 mph) which is very high for a Class E car. The acceleration is around average but its power delivery is strong and features more low-end torque. The car also features a weak nitrous output. The handling of the Mazdaspeed 3 is stable and responsive, mostly because of its FWD drivetrain. However, like many other cars with a FWD drivetrain this car may understeer during hard cornerning.
For Pursuit Outrun and Team Escape the Mazdaspeed 3 will perform very well. It is heavy enough to go through roadblocks fairly easily, however, the car is prone to spinning out if police cruisers hit the rear of the car. The car will be thrown back a short distance after a head-on Rhino collision, but will regain its speed quickly thanks to its good low-end torque and good acceleration. It is also possible to avoid these collisions without problem with the responsive handling the Mazdaspeed has.
