Hi All! I've just put down the deposit and order for a brand new Mazda 3 MPS, in the rarest colour I could think of... White!  The list narrowed down by, the fact that I can't stand red, Black kills the lines of the car and I've had two grey car prevously! If only it was available in blue! Currently an RX-8 192 owner I took one look at the MPS about a month ago and Rex felt a sense of jealousy! Test drove the MPS on Friday and couldn't believe the 'on tap' power that it has! Unfortunately I didn't much the chance to stretch the rubber but I'm looking forward to learning how to drive a FWD again! Not to mention the novelty factor of the 'incoming missile' detection system! Haven't seen any in the Kent area on the road yet, delivery date T- 10 days and counting!!! Wahoo!  Rich

Thank you to you all for a warm welcome! I've still got about another week to wait, it's agony! I've seen my first MPS on the road, a Titanium Grey in Cranbrook Town Centre on Friday night, I was the kind Grey RX-8 that let you past was it anyone from the forum?!
