Mps?

[651221]

Hey all, another new member here.

At the moment I'm driving a regular 2003 mazda6 lux sports, and whilst I'm very happy with.... It's too slow!
Handlingwise, for a family sedan, I'm quite happy with it, but overtaking is another issue! To make things worse, mum brought home a new golf R yesterday, and after having a drive of that, my mazda feels like my old corolla!
So I'm thinking an MPS6 would meet the requirements quite nicely, all I have to do is stump up the cash
As a uni student, it will probably be a fair few months before I can get one, but I may as well start looking into them now.
The only disadvantage I can think of is looks - the m6 hatch is better looking than the sedan IMHO.

Here's what I'm driving at the moment (stock, I don't think there's any point modding it)

Yeah, get an MPS! Welcome to the club mate! I upgraded from a Luxury Sport.

Looks a disadvantage.....not sure I get you there
Sedan is way better for looks, then again that's my opinion

From what I can see, if you repaint or replace the stocko rims, looks improve enormously... Let's leave it at that

Yeh for sure get an MPS6 and paint or replace the shocker stock rims as soon as you can

Theres a white one for sale in the dealer next to Golf at Belconnen, been there since aug last year and also about the same price, so might be a bargain to be had there

I would love to but the yellow mazda isn't that old and I just don't have the coin at the moment. I just took out comprehensive on it as well, and let me assure you, for an 18 year old male with 1 year of driving behind him and no previous insurance history, it is not cheap
As soon as I've saved up some more (before the year is out I'm hoping), then an mps will be mine

Mel, you need to take this young lad for a drive in your MPS6...!

[TD]

You're 18?

I'm gonna go against the grain. Keep what you have now for a few years, seriously. It's a good thing, and lack of fasts isn't bad while you're still an inexperienced driver. As you discovered insurance costs $$$. Try getting a quote for a 6 MPS...

[blackbetty]

true that Im 39 have maximum no claim bonus and my insurance is $1k and its not like I live in sydney or anything ... wise TD

18yo in an MPS sounds scary and therefore possibly illegal

[SarcasticOne]

hmmm, dont think you can drive a turbocharged car like the MPS until you are on your open licence forgot, ACT is a bit more relaxed about such things there are a few p-platers here with them... just don't get a red one the last p-plater driving a red 6mps has a corner "officially" named after him in the ACT
and yeah, insurance is scary enough for me (23 yr old) hate to think what it would be for a 18yr old
