New info on the 2013 speeds

[ricknm]

Well, My dealer got our emails today to place our orders for new cars. Turns out the 2013 speed 3s will be close to the same look outside, but inside will feature a full color touch screen navigation, HD radio, and a Pandora audio application.

The wheels are going to be 18" dark anodized alloy wheels (I know that was posted in a thread already), "mazdaspeed unique two-tone rear roof spoiler, and rear lower valance. I have a picture of what the head unit will look like, but cant post it until I get home from work later tonight. It looks like the same one thats in the 13 CX-5s if that helps.


Again, I know this was already discussed, but this will be the proof..

[Dmurray06]

News to me. Thanks!

[Abu Zib]

subbed for pics...

[soaptray]

Subbeeeedd thanks!

[Jh8909]

First i've heard of it. Interested to see how it looks

[silentwolf8]

Subbed for more info and future updates!

[ricknm]

I know there are pictures of the body already somewhere in here, but Ill have a picture of the head unit, as well as the email saying the new options and trim level options.

[ANITIX87]

I really hope the new head unit will be retro-fit ready to 2010-2012 MS3s. And I similarly hope the two-tone bumper is the same other than the color, so that I can throw a CWP one on my car if I haven't gotten it painted by then!

Subbed for info. Also want pics of those wheels.


Fail on Mazda for not making it AWD. I swear, the year they do that, I'm trading my car in for winning.

[Darth_Nuruodo]

Bumpers and mirrors should be black mica, if the earlier rumors were to be believed. The head unit is relevant to my interests though...

[2010t]

I am glad that they are making navigation screen bigger. While they were there, they should of changed headlights and front bumper, but oh well, maybe that will happen in 2014 models. Now is the time to grab 2012's for cheap I guess.

[MizzyMS3]

definately subbing for pics of this

[diego_uru]

Subbbed to see the head unit

That's fucking awesome! It looks like the 8" touchscreen HU that I wanted to get.


Do you think these could be retro-fitted?

That I have no idea. Until we get one it will be tough to tell. And Im not expecting to get any for probably another 2 months, maybe more. When we place orders, Mazda then builds the cars off of our order, so it can take alot of time.

If they are smart it will be...I'm sure they can sell a shit tonne of these...I'd buy one

[2010t]

Are they doing anything to the material of the seats, or will it still have red dots?

[Elusivellama]

2013 Speed3

Bit of a repost, but thanks for the additional info.

[apedz]

i may have to wait till this is available instead of picking up a 2012

[Ma77]

Looks nice I love that tri-screen action going on.

I'm interested to see if the top left information screen and head unit play nicely together. Would be great to have the map or stereo info on the head unit, with the upper display just showing the next turn info.

[NCZ13]

Even if they could fit, no one here is going to want to pay what they cost. The head units at Hyundai cost several grand for nav units, and not all of those were touch screen. I would imagine the ones for Mazda are similarly priced.

[ahfunaki]

^^^ this. OEM parts like that are insane expensive...

Looks much better though...

[Onelovesoccer]

still really wish the new gun metal stockers were 8" instead of still being 7.5" with 225s. i would have bought a set of 2013 stock wheels had they been 8". could run 245s on those. oh well, i'd prefer an 8.5" anyway so that i can get 255s on there.

[Darth_Nuruodo]

Really if you want stocker look with gunmetal and 8" wide look at RX-8 R3 rims, identical to pu stockers except they are darker and 19x8. I know I've got my eye on a set down the road. But just like all stock Mazda parts, they are stupid expensive -- $1300 each MSRP. Gives no hope for this head unit being a reasonable cost.

[SparkySparks]

Kind of wished I had held off for a 2013 but oh well, I love my 2012.

[Onelovesoccer]

eh, not a fan of rx-8 rims at all to be honest. probably one of the few. a bunch of people run them, so i'd rather go with Nurburgring if i'm doing something a lot of people run. and yeah, that head unit is going to be expensive. i would love to have it though.

suggestion was for rx-8 r3.... same design as pu just 19x8

oh shit i didnt catch that. how would 19s do? i'm guessing i would have to get a XXX/30/19? with 18x8.5 i was going for 255/35/18.

[Darth_Nuruodo]

245/ 35-40/R19s on that 19x8 rim, that's what I drool over. Just major bank. Lowest I could find the R3s was like 650 each. Fuck that.

[Tokay444]

Lol at awd speed3 suggestion. Why take it from the top of its category and put it at the bottom of another?

[ricknm]

^^ not to mention the huge price change. Im sure with the new head unit the 2013 will already be around 27*** or more

[jrlms6]

Subbed.

[dale_gribble]

I already picked up some of the 2013 MS3 rims in gunmetal.

















j/k, I had these powdered to match the 19" RX8 R3s and they just happened to be the same color as the 2013s seem to be. I was ahead of the curve.
