    If you think the MPS3 has too much torque steer you are an unrecoverable leadfoot who can't discern between 85% throttle and 100% throttle when it comes time to assess the conditions ahead of you and apply appropriately?

    -- waiting for the cries of "that's why we want AWD!" --

    AWD MPS would get me trading.

    When it comes down to it any FWD car has some sort of torque steer....I find it in my 2 and even my x wifes 1.8 Astina use to get attitude in the wet....

    I have driven a TRD Aurion and that thing was awesome even with an auto....

    I was lucky enuff to drives Lynchy's MPS3 when I was down at the MPS day and it was awesome and its just something that you adapt to....

    powerful FWD's are an art to drive but can be tamed its all about how you drive the bloody things.....

    These knob jockeys from TGA are so full of themselves and the fact that they bash Mazda's is that Mazda have some credit not to let these wannabees loose in zoom zoom DNA...as they can't handle it...

    I only base what i said on the video of Clarkson driving the RS and letting go of the wheel and it veering crazy off course ...mine dosent do that ...especially in a straight line
