As per title. Sold my MG ZS 180 MKII (or facelift as some call it), and I'm now the proud owner of a 07 Mazda 3 MPS in Cosmic Blue........ Bloomin' Hell!!! I'm gonna loose my license!!! But seriously, WOW, phenomenal!!! I'm not gonnna knock my (ex) ZS, it was an awesome handling car (check Tiff out), but the 3 is a totally different machine. It reminds me of my ex MG Maestro Turbo (not standard) for shear brute power. Love it. Happy to be part of a good bunch of guys and gals.

Great news, yeah the raw torque from the MPS even at standard is addictive ;)

Hi and welcome to the family
My best mate had a mkii facelift ZS in that factory bright green, only one in the country made in that colour and the dopey sod sold it before he found out lol lovely car it was
Glad you are enjoying the MPS, they are really savage once you start modding!

Think I saw you today mate, around 3:15 centre of Weaverham by the field, you turned down by the library / swimming pool - I was parked up just picking my boy up from school - strange how an MPS trained eye can spot a 3 MPS even from the front!
