Just thought i'd introduce myself since I'm new to the forum  I've been quite a fan of the MPS for sometime, I like the idea that not many people know quite what it is and see it as just another Mazda. I've had a look round 2 different 3 mk2's, with the only limiting factor being my age (19) which insurance companies feel the need to abuse me about  Maybe next year hey, in the mean time I'll have to make do with sitting jealously behind a screen admiring some of the motoring examples on this forum!

to the forum. with the mps's being quite rare and not many knowing about them it does keep the insurance down, i noticed it from owning an ST. The MPS was half the cost

I tried all the usual suspects, admiral etc. LV came out cheapest with my union discount.
But at 3 grand, its not something I was willing to pay :L
And I do like the mk1, but that bonnet scoop on the mk2 ;)

Wow, 19 and looking at an MPS! Scary! I thought I was lucky having a Clio 197 at 21, but that's going to the next level. What are you driving now? Maybe something a little less powerful will get you a few more years no claims and then the insurance will be more sensible? I had my MPS aged 22.

I know the age is scary, to be honest I think I'll do best waiting til I'm 20. Cheaper insurance, another year no claims.
