This is definately a car I am highly considering. I just sold my CRX so i'm done with Honda. Been there, done that. I'm just debating on wether or not to get the MS3, a new GTI, a WRX, or Legacy.
The GTi is quickly falling off my radar because it's so underpowered, yet VW's interiors are sic'wit it.
The new WRX front end looks like complete and utter ass.
The Legacy I like a lot but with the options I want, it's gonna be priced near an STi and I might as well get an STi if i'm gonna spend that much.
The MS3 seems to fit the bill but the only problem I have is the detuned motor and FWD platform. FWD I can deal with since it's coming with an LSD. Hopefully the motor comes with at least 260hp. Mazda's website says 250hp* *=being the provisional target. Maybe I can scoop up a MS6 ECU to throw into the MS3 and really be Zoom-Zoom-Zoom
Also, me and my girl bought a Mazda 5 in February and it's looking like it wants a sibling already
I was gonna get some rims for the 5 but i'll just throw the 18's that come on the MS3 on the 5 and buy myself some Volks for the MS3, yummm...
