Hi guys,
I'm currently in the market for a gen 2 luxury mps. I inspected one yesterday with about 70000kms on it. The car seemed in good condition inside out. The first thing that got me that the car has had the first two services done at a Mazda dealer and the rest of the services have been done by the owners friend who is a mechanic. Seems a bit iffy. The second is I took the car for a test drive. Now I come from a background of high powered modified cars. Think 250rwkw+ and I also ride a bike. I found the drive of the MPS very underwhelming. It felt slow. I don't know if this was just this car having a possible boost leak and being down on power or what. I did get the tug on the steering wheel when I floored it. Admittedly the roads were damp from rain so I think possibly the traction control was stepping in because of the slip? Does this happen on damp roads?
