Pics of my new Mazda MPS, had it about a week now, spent all my bank holiday making it clean, then my camera went flat, so only 5 pics of outside.

mmmmm still unsure
looking at a mazda 3 when my car was in the garage...interior is a little...boring? whats the mps like inside? leather seats, sunroof etc?

 

[beezasport]

i used to be a mazda sales man!!! top cars (even though i drive a vag) handle really well and don't loose too muh money! you'll be alright with that, they run for MILES!!!

yea i got the aero kit, worth the money if you ask me.
The interior is far nicer than a lower model, Bose sound system, red stitched leather MPS badged seats with grippy cloth centres, leather wheel & gaitor, its really nice actually was gona take pics inside but camera died,

Looks very nice! I've been considering one of these as my next motor.

just took it out on its first proper run yesterday, the thing really does go like the clappers, any gear any speed put your foot down and youre off.

my brothers polo GTI can do like a 7.4 0-60 (not entireley race accurate but stopwatched over and over again, best was 7.00 then an average taken) and it leaves him totally for dead, im getting a mazdaspeed intake and a turbo back exhaust for it, and by all accounts you can see a massive (30+hp) improvement by just getting rid of the stock resonator and downpipe/exhaust as they are so restrictive.

Getting excited!!

[lukey]

my brothers polo GTI in the background, supposedly the last white one available in the whole of england (dealer sale pressurising bullshit i reckon)

Never really seen one of these about until I was at a Mazda garage at the weekend and saw one in red with the Aero kit, just as this one is, it looked the nuts

got my intake from america yesterday and fitted it, on boost this car now suonds awesome, and you can really hear the recirc valve now dumping the excess back into the intake. when the turbo starts spinning and blowing hard people stop and look in the street haha

nice mate, good choice!

...yeah, as it sounds like your car is sneezing, or has a cold!

My previous car, the dump valve was loud! Scared to death old ladies and made small children cry! lol.

Got bored of it after a while so binned the DV, bit chav like. You just cant beat a good bit of wastegate chatter (the sound goes on for longer too)!

Anyway, sweet Mazda mate. The side view, with the window design does look a little like the facelift Leon!?

i like that mate, seen one in your colour out on the road last week, very nice. bet that will go like the clappers.
