My name is luke im 26 years old and not yet own a mps but have been looking for about 3-4 months for a mazda 3 mps and thought i could get some in sight and help of what i should look out for. I currently own a 2011 60 plate vauxhall zafia 1.9 cdti desin 150bhp fully loaded (only due to have 3x kids) now that the youngest is 1 i thought i could sell or hopefully p/x my car for the new shape mazda 3 mps as i think they look amazing. i have always had sporty cars such as astra vxr, vectra vxr and mondeo st but not yet had the privilege of owning a mazda. So any help or if any one has a family that is growing and needs a bigger car then please let me know thank you all so much

Hello and  Wouldn't the larger 6 MPS be better suited for you? Very very cheap now.

Hello and welcome!
The 3 mps is a great car I've had some rapid cars more then what's in my sig and the mps is as practical as an evo with a better interior.
On a run I've had 40mpg when I've not been boosting it lol,it's a awesome car wouldn't hesitate to buy one! I've had mine nearly a week already brought loads of mods the cars got potential to be as quick as an evo or faster with the practicality of one and cheaper to run.
Best of luck with your search.job up for £20 and you will have endless info
