Just out of curiosity, what mazda have you got?

Mazda's, like skoda's are looking pretty good these days.

 :grin: not sure about good looking, but it does the job until I decide what I want to get next.

its an 07 plate Mazda 3 MPS... which gets you quite a bit of car for the money, 265bhp, xenons as std, Bose stereo, half leather seats, 18" wheels as std. Its in silver with factory fitted tints all round... so unless you know whats under the hood it doesnt shout out like most hot hatches out there.

like this one..

 :cool:

When i said looking good, i didnt mean looks, but as in bang for your buck.

The Mazda 3 MPS is supposed to be a bloody good choice of car like you say.

Begs the question why you have that and a Mk6 GTI? Very similar cars.

I dont have the Gti any more.... it went a couple of weeks back. Im now in a nice 7 series BMW whilst the mazda is in for repair. Sooo nice to drive as I did a few motorway miles today... But not great for me on the whole as I am usually just driving around town. Quite nice to just kick back and pump some tunes on the logic 7 stereo... its like being sat in an armchair at home  :grin:

I wouldnt get a 7 series myself, but the others they definately are good value for money... but again its the economy that you have to live with. The mps doesnt give me any more miles than the R32... which kind of makes me wonder why I have one  :laugh:

Get it mapped for the increase in MPG and BHP. Of course you wont use the extra BHP.

As much as I would love to... my insurance will be sky high again, in addition to the fact that I wont be keeping it long doesnt really make it worth while  :undecided:
