Ive heard these mazdas don't corner well, think r32 on here has one?

They handle pretty well tbh, much less body roll than an ST. One thing you can say about the MPS is that its very possible to scare yourself, something that I found wasnt possible in the GTI, or ST.

with 265bhp as std, a trip to my local remap office after xmas should see about 290+  :evil:

As for the ST... good overall car that has been hurt with the cost of fuel going up recently. Just make sure you get a good one, a friend that had one went through quite a few turbos and other expensive bits  :lipsrsealed:

I was going to say go for the st  :wink:, you can get the facelift version st-3 now for under 10k which maybe my next move now the r32 has gone.

Cheers mate, was my first trip to the ring last summer and this was snapped by one of the pro photographers on the track side  :smiley:

On a side note i sold the r32 in august and am running a mk3 anni for the winter but hopefully be getting something newer in spring/summer when my bank balance has recovered from my wedding!!
