    Default To MPS or Not to MPS, that was the question,................

    Hi All, just sending out a quick hello and that im very pleased with my purchase.

    After several months of having my heart set on and test driving a few XR5Turbos, a friend recommended to try the MPS 3. After one drive i was hooked and settled on a price with the previous owner. I was realy impressed with its out of the box power and that 'Trademark' pull everyone talks about. Its a GEN 1, in metalic grey. Stock aside from a recent Sub install, and replacement of the stupid horns they come with to something a bit more manly.

    Now many say the MPS just a badged up sissy 3, and i say the XR5T is just a badged up sissy focus so go tell someone that gives a flying Fk.

    I had recently stepped out of a 315RWKW XR6T, but im having more fun driving this little machine than i ever did my XR6T. Handling, parking and just general driving is a pleasure and im not missing the extra KW at all. I must admit the clutch takes a few drives to get used to but once you do it all feels natural. Oh and did i mention it comes with cruise control as standard!? haha. This is a big deal as i use it alot and dont see why a car these days shouldnt have it.

    Thats about it for now. Im sure you know what they look like so wont bother puting up pics unless i do some mods.

    Till then, happy driving!

    Ok will post up pics soon mate. Not sure about performance modding just yet. As stated have already installed sub/amp and replaced the silly OEM horn, Oh and done the beeper (Key in ignition) mod. Got to love the information you find in the how-to sections!

    Nice colour !

    More pics please !

    I came from an FG XR6 Turbo....still haven't looked back after nearly 3 months ! And the more people say "why a Mazda 3" then when you throw them the keys and let them take it for a drive say "wow...ok...I get it now" the better !!!

    It's all about education.
