Hey, Just joined, I'm hoping to be a Mazda 3 MPS (mk1 aero) owner soon! Currently own an E46 M3 and only had it for a few month's, i just can't get on with it! Massively overrated IMO although, i have owned JAP car's all my life and this was my first switch. My car before the M3 was a highly tuned Civic Type R (EP3) and i miss it, hopefully the MPS is the right choice this time and i can keep it a lot longer. I have booked a test drive on the weekend so fingers crossed i like it! Five door's, big boot, Bose system, turbo, JAP oh and... LSD as standard is what got me interested. Looking forward to getting back in a hot hatch soon  Cheers, Dan.

Spent money on a remap at Evolve and it made 350bhp but still, i have never really been happy with it. Got a fast road set up, short shifter and it improved a little but i still don't see myself keeping it much longer. Thanks everyone for the welcome

to the Dan! About time (snow) to switch a rwd with even faster fwd, very wise Type R is only 201 bhp and Mps 3 is 254 bhp out of the box, and one doesn't need to rev the crap out until vtec kicks in. Mps 3 boosts from as low as 3k rpm! That, and some mps 3 owners reached the pinnacle of mods with over 500 bhp!!  Enjoy

Welcome to the Funny you should say that about the E46 M3, my friend has a massive soft spot for one, but I think I'd be in the boat your in, you can't beat a little boost

Hi and welcome along. Quite alot of us have come from type r's and the difference is astounding. I was looking at m3's and 350z too but went for the mps in the end. Would still have an m3 for the noise though!

Hello and along. Did you say you remapped it to 350 bhp? I thought they were 340 bhp standard? Only 10 bhp from a remap? Shocking!
