I voted undecided -
Like everyone says i'll need to see it and drive it myself to decide.
The colours so far haven't done it any favours either.
I'm dissappointed at the 1kw increase, maybe they will have to release a faster model in a year or so
if sales are bad, just like Subaru did with the '09 WRX, Which I will probably be driving by then anyway.
I sent an email with some constructive critisism on the new model MPS to Mazda but they never responded!
drove the sp25 today it drives ok but its soooooooooooo ugly the dash is crap looks cheap its just all wrong...

Compared to the new MPS the SP25 doesnt look too bad.
Agree on the interior though, Im so glad I bought my 08 MPS 3.
Its funny. The latest TGA mag gave the SP25 a raving review. I think they were paid off to make it look better than it actually is. A mate of mine who owns an Evo X, has also test driven the SP25, and in his opinion, the Evo interior is much cleaner and functional. For an Evo to be better than a Mazda, thats says something!! IMO, my 07 MPS is much better than the Evo X, so Mazda must have gone to the wall.. Ah well, their tough luck!
I'd be happy with a smiling mailbox hot hatch....
I hate it. There are so many reasons why, but my most recent hate (as the more i look the more i hate) is those WHEELS... EWWWW they look like they came off a 2 or something. The car is lacking TUFFNESS

I think the bumpers may change.
They look like the American ones that need to be bigger to pass crash tests or something like that.
hate it, especially the tail lights. reminds me of that nissan mirca , whatever its name is.
its not growing on me....i still prefer the look of the old one.
It will grow on me im sure.......Black though...took some pics of a Black sp25 the other night and the stupid grin is barely noticable
