There are trailer hitches that will fit the 2011 Mazdaspeed 3 hatchback, but the Draw-Tite # C11393 will not fit. Instead, you can use the Curt Trailer Hitch, # C11383. This hitch comes with a ball mount, hitch pin and clip. I have included a link to the installation instructions and a link to a video showing a typical installation.

If you plan on doing some towing, for a ball you can use # 19256 (1-7/8 inch diameter) or # 19258 (2 inch diameter). For trailer wiring, use T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, # 118420. I have included a link to the installation details and a video installation of the wiring as well.
