Love the Mazda 3 MPS.
Handles really well too.
The Bose is much improved in the gen 2 model :)
It may be expensive to run but it's a lot cheaper to buy than a golf :p
Probably more reliable too.

Much cheaper to buy.. which does help cover the running costs.

In terms of reliability I got it a service after it was bought... since then nothing what so ever! The rear electric windows stopped working from the drivers controlls once... then started again, and now seem fine.

So far its put the mk6 to shame on that front :lipsrsealed:

I like it. Looks like a really solid car externally.

My sis has got a new Mazda 3 MPS. I'm not a fan of it tbo. Plastic city inside compared to my Mk6.

Yep Japs are really reliable, had two before getting a golf and none of them had any issues in 6yrs of ownership, had a 56 & a 58...

Yep but a simple remap should help sort that out. The MPS engines map to around 290hp (realistically speaking). The Edition 30 should see pretty near that figure (270-280) with a map. Where you will miss it though will be in the torque.

So when's the new project thread going up then?
