disagree???
Dan basically said current owners wouldnt see it as an upgrade and wont buy the new model....
Then you said more sales will come from new buyers.....
How is that different???....
Its an upgrade from SP23 and definately a Maz2..but from the original model definately not an upgrade...facelift yeah....upgrade no
I bought my first Mazda in 1979 and have only had them to present its like being a loyal footy fan you stick by your side thru thick ot thin..
In my family we have a 92 121 Bubble and a 99 121 Metro.....plus 6 other Mazdas
I think that the VR looks great and thats why I'm getting one next year Feb/Mar
Being Loyal is great (and I've bought 3 mazdas in my lifetime), until it stabs you in the back....
Never had an issue neither has the family...
Mazda all the way till I need a
from Orange NSW
Im not disagreeing with anyone.........I love mazda just as much as you....im very attached to my car and i wanna make sure if i upgrade to anything else its gunna be worth my while...and by the time you order yours there may be some changes in the new model that'll appeal to me and we may be ordering at the same time
Missy it wasn't meant to sound like an attack so sorry if it did....
OK the new model mighten have had a power upgrade but with all the changes on it and listening to the Mazda techno staff I could see it as an upgrade....
thou after today driving around in the 2 I will miss the grin fact as its a fun car to drive...I wish Mazda would do a MSP2...
Thick and thin?
Sounds like you admiting Mazda went from good to bad with the new MPS?
Anyways..., thick or thin as you say sounds like a poor reason to me as I buy a car that I fancy to have... most of the time regardless of what brand it is, if it happens that I have owned more mazdas than anything else in my short car history is only because they were cars that did it for me....they were appealing. I did my bit by buying the car while mazda was doing their bit by making good and nice cars.
No way Im going to stick with Mazda if they start making cars that are of no appeal to me.

Oh yeah! Now that would be good.
When I got my original Astina SP many moons ago the dealer had a RX-7 SP there (the ones that Mazda Motorsport did for the Bathurst 12hr race). I was shattered when I sat inside and realised I didn't fit Killed any dreams of owning one.

Great to see the dicussion this topic has generated. I'll go drive a new 3 MPS this weekend and add my thoughts to those already shared.
Taken my boring, bland, lame Subaru and my fat ass and driven off into the sunset with a smile on my face
went and checked out new mps. and its ok. i like the side view and the rear but still dont like the front. its very big and round.. the old mps to me screamed muscle car , racer type look. the new one has gone like the wrx more upper classish. i liked the interior controls and gauges. yet it feels like they gone down on the leather interior. i like the keyless start and keyless entry stuff and the 1.5million buttons on sterring wheel yet for some reason i still not a huge fan. maybe its just the front of the car. ill have to test drive one to see how it feels
Yeah i sat in one today after dropping mine off....I pointed out all my dislikes on the outside and then sat inside and was really quite excited about all the buttons...but i think being me and old school MPS minded i'd take awhile to get my head around them...electric seats sat navuser friendly gearstick...didnt drive it though...the boss was away and apparently they've been told they are not to be test driven till next week...even by VIPS like myself
It soooo needs to be a sedan...SP25 sedan looks hot i reckon....i never thought id say that but thats my thoughts at the moment.....
I've got a TR Maz2 maxx as a loaner....love it
all i can say is bring on the FORD RS
