Hi all! I am now the proud owner of a 10 plate Aluminium Silver Mazda 3 MPS. I collect her on Thursday morning and I cannot wait (will be good to drive a car with torque instead of a high revving Honda)! Was just wondering what everyones opinion is on the height of the front of the car. I personally think the gap between the arch and tyre looks huuuge?

Well I collected my car on Thursday, all I can say is woww! Car is exceptional value for money and cannot believe so many people overlook them when looking for a hot hatch! The standard equipment is amazing, the torque is ridiculous, the chassis is stiff and feels so tight. I really am very very chuffed with my new mps!
