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!!!
The Focus (XR5 and RS) and the MPS3 share the same chassis, only the RS has had extra time spend on certain areas as it had to get 300HP/440NM to the ground compared to the MPS3 260HP/390NM.

I am so excited to get it, I have already booked a RAC Tuning Day in February and have already got an idea for a custom exhaust set-up.

Not sure if they ever won, but the Mazda 323 Turbo AWD Rally cars were giant slayers just a pity that they had shit gearbox's/transfer box's and driveshafts they could have finished more often.

Hmm. I held Mazda in higher regard than they earned. They only won three rounds in the wrc. The 323 4WD turbo was still a funky little car.

250BHP+ in a 1080KG small hatchback that was graced with AWD is beyond funky.

But as I said before the lack of reliabilty made them a little less then successful. They did get a handful of good results but against bigger teams with bigger budgets and better base cars it never was a title contender.
