Munya - if you get a chance, take a side on photo please! I'm now considering gunmetal instead of black for my rims as I'd like to be actually able to view the rims and not just a void of blackness...

What are the key strengths of the Mazda?

It is still a great car and still fits into the same general genre as the wrx, Evo etc.
I was just looking at new cars and the WRX and MPS were the only thing that tickled my fancy.

The MPS strong points include:
-nicer quality interior
-they are not a common car, wanted something different.
-I prefer the FWD chassis
-all the torque/traction limiters can be turned off
-has great aftermarket support, with some big companies producing top quality parts (COBB, CORKSPORT, MRT, etc)
-stock engines are solid upto 400whp with bolt ons!
-dollar-for-dollar the MPS comes with more then cars in that price range
-it's a Mazda 3 so insurance for a 19y/o is cheap
-its a more fun car to drive, its such a lively car
-bitches love torque steer
-Etc

I know the WRX has the AWD and +200cc. But I am honestly not a fan of the direction Subaru have taken in styling. It looks good, don't get me wrong, but I just like the MPS better it's that simple.

So I may not be able to be up there with the AWD boys doesn't mean I can't teach the FWD brigade a thing or too, and maybe scared a few WRX's too

Points taken. Mazda has won the WRC before so they know how to build good engines. Wasnt quite as big as 2.3l so hopefully they are not like big capacity WRX/Sti engines for reliability. :-)

I agree with the charm of having something different. Especially when there are companies providing lots of tech toys and hot ups for them. Go for it.

You goal should be to beat a Focus RS!!!
