Yep, DO IT! But remember to post the pics when ur done

I couldn't justify the extra $4000 either. You really wont notice it... I know I don't, as you get the full package with the standard model (not like you are not getting a Bose sound system,...

Thanks guys. In my old Commodo SV8 I used to just quick shift in 2nd and get the wheels squealing. I think I am maybe doing the same thing... dumping it too hard (too much load) by trying to change...

no, I didn't notice the traction control light. I'll pay more attention though if I am in such a situation again.... thanks!

Hi all.... hoping some of you can help with some advice. Straight up... I am no mechanic. In fact, while I consider myself a pretty good driver, when it comes to going under the hood I am rather...

I love the fact that everytime I go to take her out, she is smiling at me like an excited puppy.

Nope, refined as in you just took a bend at 80km/h that you used to only take at 70km/h and you think, I should have put my foot down harder kind of refined. The new one is seriously confidence...

Yep, Red, to me, was clearly the best colour of them all. Pics don't do the metallic paint justice.

Great read! Agree about the performance.... I find 1st to 2nd slow. But 4th kicks as hard as 3rd now. When the next Gen gets moving, its a rocket

And taking it a step further... I prefer evenly matched/same cars so that it comes down to driver skills too. Just because you have spent big $ to get a sub-4sec 0-100 time doesn't mean u can drive

I was doing my head in here, until I realised you are talking about the first gen model. LMAO

Yeah, Ive seen the Silver/Aluminum one. It was sitting side-by-side the black one. I thought above all the black would be the best. But honestly, I'd go Aluminum over the black. But the VR was the...

Hahahaha... I notice that in the "colours" section that the Luxury one is made to look more shiny! The standard is made to look like a matte colour, but they are identical metallic paint. ;)

Watch out for the Velocity Red one in Melbourne! My review is coming... if I ever get out of it and in front of my home PC.

In fact, there was a 2nd red one being picked up on Friday! So they are...

How would you and 3 mates like win a Special VIP Test Drive prize pack which includes: participation in the VIP Mazda3MPS Advanced Drive Day including MPS track hot laps, return flights to Melbourne...

10%! Thats huge. I really dont like that. My SV8 was 1km out at 100km/h. (99 at 100km/h). I'll check it out on the GPS (does the GPS that comes with it have a speed indicator?) and report back how...

Thanks Enigma. A mountain drive sounds like a great idea. So looks like I'll stay close to home then. I guess some night cruzing in the City is ok too. Will be interested to see if I get any...

nice! :welcome:

Sweet. I get my VR on Friday.... I cant wait.

I wanted to cruz up to Wang(aratta) to show it off to friends and family, but Im now thinking it'll be too tempting to set it on cruz and sit on a...

I think your onto something Duglet. I must admit, I think of white as being a plain colour. But it does look hot looking at it again now.

I sooo wish the MPS came in some other colours. Assuming these colours where put to the vote, what would you go for?

Agree blackbetty! They look really feminine too me. Cars in this category need to keep that muscular appearance.

Instead of that baby blue colour, they should of went with the Hot Pink...

How about Hot Pink? I'd get one!

Hmmm, this seems to be something which divides opinions. So while appreciate peoples views, I ask that you wait another 6mths and then see what you think then. It seems to me people are judging this...
