My sig is referring to me driving  Its what the other driver thinks. People don't know what an MPS is, it's the look on their (usual male) faces when they find themselves being passed by a woman driving "just a Mazda3" Not that it matters now as all being well I will be a Lancer owner on Saturday

Hi Xorro,
are you getting the Ralliart GST or GS? Let us know how it compares to the little 3 (my guess is that AWD should feel a tad less scarey when you're messing about in the wet!

No option for manual. There's also a sequential shift as well as the paddles, or full auto mode.

Never be afraid to ask...........I can always refuse to answer!!
I love cars, live very close to Brands Hatch, and my favourite drive - until the Mazda of course - was an Aston Martin V8 Vantage, which I hired for a birthday treat
Has anybody taken the Mazda Beastie on the track yet?
