How do you tell the difference between a Mazda 3 and a Speed 3?

When the regular Mazda 3 is a hatchback, how do you set it apart from a Speed 3?|||Bonnet is little bit higher but there's no scoop.





Rear spoiler has two "spaces" between its own body and the fifth door while Mazda3 standard spoiler attaches to the fifth door across all its lenght.





I'd say the spoiler is the most visually distinctive feature. - See the "holes" - its MPS. Check out the links to the both cars' galleries.





Rear bumper is slightly different, as is the front one, wheels are bigger exhaust ending slighly larger. But these are not details you'd normaly notice when a car passes you by.|||Unless you are looking for it, there are really not too many differences. I love that the MS 3 is a 'sleeper'. People think you have a regular 3 until you hit the gas.





The MazdaSpeed has badging on the back that says "Mazdaspeed 3"


It also has more aggressive stying in the front and back, including more black plastic below the back bumper and front license plate.


MS 3 has 18" alloys and comes only with a 6 speed manual.





If you drive an MS 3, you will feel the difference.





The Speed 3 does not have a hood scoop, as mentioned above.|||Besides that it says SPEED3 on the back, the Speed has 18" alloys and the regular Mazda 3 5 door has 17" alloys. The rear spoilers are different. The rear spoilers are different. The front ends are different, and the interior is different.|||The Mazdaspeed3 has a body kit (spoilers etc.) that are exclusive to it. It also has 18" alloys instead of the standard 17". It has more aggressive styling then, in a sense.|||I believe that the Mazda speed 3 is a turbo model, and the Mazda 3 is the earlier model which doesn't have turbo.|||The Mazdaspeed 3 has a hood scoop, a different bodykit, bigger wheels, different exhaust and slightly bigger grill.


It also says Mazdaspeed on it.
