Seems like overstating hp numbers is a little bit of a bad habit over at Mazda, which is made worse by the fact that no Mazda is especially powerful when compared with its primary competitors. The point is, the car is fun to drive as-is, and it's only going to get better. What's in a number, anyway? After all, we all bought these cars because they handle well and are fun to drive, right?
Ever look through the classifieds at all the crummy project cars with 350 Chevy motors in them? EVERYONE who has a 350 claims that it makes 300 horsepower, yet no one seems able to prove it. It doesn't matter if it's a rusty old 1985 Chevy pickup. The guy selling it will claim that damned thing makes 300hp....

also the not very powerful compared to competitors comment...check out the Mazda 3 vs the competition....Cobalt,Ion,Corolla,Civic,Sentra,Foc us,Neon,Spectra,Elantra,TC...I think the only cars that eclipse the 3 are the SE-R Vspec and Cobalt SS and the Scion TC ties the 3...not too shabby
