Look very Understated but are very quick, I think the FN2 CTR is a much better all round car although not as fast.
Btw you can also get an Aero-kit for the MPS, £500 it's not a Body kit. It only includes Eibach lowering springs (15mm) & bigger rear spoiler and M3 style wing mirrors...

Looks good in red.

Yea, meant to put, It's a bit chavvy with M3 mirrors and black Lexus style rears... boring looking car with Chav-cessories, Wheels are wank and i dont think i have seen a 3 door version yet

no way is the CTR and all round better car, the MPS is 4wd for a start so its not even going to get a look in

i work for mazda and these are brilliant cars! some ppl say there dangerously quick tho lol. not alot ever goes wrong with mazdas either! if your dad gets one he wont be disapointed. either that or get the 6mps but thats more expencive.
rx8's arnt as good as ppl think. my xe corsa is quicker than a high power rx8 (231 bhp 6speed) because they have sod all tourque, altho they are nice to drive and sound amazing at full chat!!

I don't think the rear lights are too bad, because most people know they are genuine. Same with buying a Lexus really and at least on that red 3 MPS, they aren't "white lexus'"

You feeling ok Steve, you do realise you just said you liked something that is'nt a seat cupra, a 106gti or an xbox360.

They are brilliant cars.
fwd though like cybermonkey said, but with an lsd and limited power in 1st and 2nd so they can get the power on the road.
There won't be a 3dr version because Mazda don't make a 3dr car.
Of course it isn't an rx-8, but it's now the fastest Mazda and a few £k less than the rx-8, I know which I'd have all day long
