Hi all, I'm Jack mid twenties from mid England. Looking to buy a Mazda 3 MPS MKII and just using this forum as a guide. Test drove one last night and it blew me away. was fairly high mileage though so will probably hold out for another. Previously owned a MK5 fiesta Zetec-S, Octavia vRS and EP3 Civic Type-R. Thanks

Great forum and banter with lots of good info. The mps is a great car and with a nice tune a fantastic car.

Welcome Jack! Took me a month to find mine, and I was dedicated, checking autotrader and big car dealers daily. If you are from mid England, Northampton Mazda seem to get a few in. I bought mine from Churchs Performance Cars down near the Top Gear Test track, not too far from Guildford. They have had their fair share of MPS's, Martin (from Aberdeen!) bought his MK2 from there also. http://www.churchsperformancecars.co.uk/stock.asp

However, i've since found out they take a while updating the website and actually didn't have any!!  They seem helpful enough though, just gotta wait i suppose. Thanks buddy
