Help make my decision!

Hey ya'll.. Well im a new member, but not yet an owner of an MPS. I joined to try and get some info on the car that I may well buy. Lookin at getting MPS6. I currently own a RS Liberty thats heavily modified and pushin 230 kw ATW.

Its a fun car but need to move on, so im hoping to find out lotsa stuff about the MPS. Like power at wheels, what kinda turbo they run and maxium boost that they can handle etc.

Hopefully make my mind up, the other car im also considering is a Subaru GT Liberty.

Let me know on your thoughts and i hope to contribute to the forums if i can.

Peace

Thanks for the info, just wondering what the gearboxes are like? Are they pretty strong can they take a big gain in horse power or they made of glass like the soobey boxes?

Not too many gearbox issues from what I have heard.. I dont think anyone on OZMPS has done one yet!

Rods however.....

[Orrie]

Ok thats a plus then.

welcome hope you find yourself a nice MPS6 ... do you live southside, think I have seen (and heard ) your RS

Cant really help you on your other info as mines stock as a rock but I love it to pieces anyway

Are you tossing up between the new Liberty and the MPS6 or an older style Liberty ?

I just got 3 weeks ago, my MPS3. I also was looking at the 6, but the Mazda dealers told me they didn't have them anymore, the only one was the 3. I got it all standard and it's plenty fun. Still have to take it against my friends 09 SS.

With all the cars I've had in the past, this would stack up there as the best, however also been my first Mazda, i'm a little concerned on how good the servicing departments are and the overall quality of Mazda.

A coworker has the subaru liberty GT, it's nice and all, but having to sit in the back each time going out with him to lunch, i'd prefer it if he had a MPS3.

GL with your choice, but MPS3 is a sure winner.
