Cheers all.
I recently purchased '05 non-leather MPS6 in radiant ebony mica - with less than 10,000kms ! I must say, so far the family and I have found this simply stunning.
I've always admired the MPS, but the timing has never been right to take the plunge. But oh boy, I'm glad I did ! The 'sleeper' design of the 6 is a big plus for me. As I'm in my 40's, I have no inclination to steer something that screams - "look at me, I've got scoops/wings/over-the-top body add-ons, so I must be fast !"
In my eyes, the MPS6 has just enough individuality - with the bonnet bulge, big wheels, modest rear wing, etc - to stand out just enough from the rest of the crowd - but only to those with a keen eye.
Driving wise, the power delivery is exceptional - just so much torque !
Thanks for the opportunity to post on this very informative forum. I'm sure my future with the MPS6 will be a happy one.
