MPS3 only has 5200KM on it in the short ownership so far.

I have done 3 Whoop-Ass Wednesdays and 1 Tuning Day (with 2 more booked)

I drive it like an old lady to and from work, but on the odd trip/track day I make the most of the car's potential

It is what it was built for so that is how I am going to use it.

I thought it was built for hairdressers and grocery runs?

Touche Hombre. It is also good at curb-seeking if your not holding the wheel tight

People just can't get their head around the fact: it looks like a Mazda 3... but it doesn't drive anything like a Mazda 3.

I'd hardly say it's been thrashed, it was a straight line, and they are built to take a few revs!

I would be more suspicious of someone who said "it has never been thrashed or driven hard" because how can you trust the rest of what they are saying when they sell the car.

LOL @ 60K... more like 70K and yes, it has been thrashed.. It's my company car, I always drive it on boost, I've done Collie, McRae Rally Sprints, skidpans and Racewars. I didn't buy this car to drive it like my grandmother would.. Yes, I've thought about the fact I would destroy it as a daily by doing coilovers, so the springs may be the last thing I do, but the car does need a tune and exhaust and a nice set of wheels. :-) Will see how we go once the mods start.

With that notion, go offer the guy who owns the 800k aventador, a lot less to buy it because its been thrashed.

I'm sure the response will be laughable :-)


On topic.
I the kw V3's are very Gucci, I think they will improve the handling without ruining the ride day to day :-)

Bump. Just to bring this up again. Not thrashing your car so its got good resale is like not fucking your mrs so her next boyfriend has a nice tight pussy. Cunts need to relax.
