Jobert Villegas says he purchased the 2012 Mazda Mazdaspeed3 because of both its rarity and underrated power. Pushing 295 whp, Villegas says it handles itself well on the street and circuit. Helping the Mazdaspeed3 stand out from the crowd is an Ultimate Racing exhaust, aftermarket lighting, and his favorite, a COBB Tuning Accessport V3. Villegas has additional plans to gut the interior while also installing a big turbo upgrade and built block.
