Hi guys just thought id introduce myself as as of today i am now a proud MPS owner. Thought id do a little write up of my experience in buying the car and i must say its a big step up from a civic type r. So I finally picked my car up today and it is an absolute joy to drive. I love the 'sporty' look of the seats with MPS stitched into them yet they are very comfy seats to sit in. The dashboard looks very modern aswell and very easy to use all the controls and wow the quality of the Bose sound system is a massive step up compared to the civics system. Its alot quieter inside compared to the civic and such a nice car to be in. Plus the power is nice aswell ;) Was really impressed with the service I recieved from Mitchel Mazda, Paul who delt with me was very helpful and explained everything to me and didnt mind me e-mailing him with more questions. I also think its a nice touch having the 'Handing Over Bay' in there showroom, seems alot more professional rather than being handed the keys and told "the car is over there" The car was nice and clean inside and out to a very high standard. Now i know this may sound abit gay but I also thought the fact they give everybody that buys a car from them a bouquet of flowers quite a nice touch as I can now give them to the girlfrined so she will be happy with that. lol. After getting home I discovered a KnN panel filter box in the boot with the standard Mazda panel filter in there so the obvious next step was to check if the KnN was fitted to the car which to my delight I found out it was, I also discovered the car has EBC Yellow Stuff pads with plenty of meat left on them with was another bonus. From what i've experienced so far the car is by far the nicest ive owned and the hole sale transaction was the smoothest and most plesent one out of my 9 cars that ive owned. I would definatly recommend Mitchel Mazda to anybody looking into buying a Mazda, Skoda or Lexus as there service is top quality.

Thanks for the welcome everybody, the dealer really was helpful. Also I cant believe how much you can hear the turbo spooling up when its on boost

Welcome, I came from a dc2 to the mps6 due to needing 4doors etc in the future. Much better all round car and a lot quicker! Not as nimble but I can live with that!

If you live in the Chester/Wirral area you could also try Windsors of Wallasey for servicing 'cos they are just as good but cheaper. End of M53.

yeah, i'm only a week into owning my 6 mps. Mate, I'm loving it. My last car was a 1.6 ford focus estate. An uninsured driver wrote that car off. Treated myself to a 6 mps. Am now kinda thanking him for it. Only prob is now, my cheeks hurt from grinning too much. :-)

Maybe there should be an "MPS Facial Cream" to ease the pain.
