Definitely FWD only
...from what I hear from the MS6 guys, a good first mod would be FMIC...the TMIC gets heatsoaked fairly easily
This will be on my list of cars when I am ready to buy again...although this will probably be 2-3yrs down the road, as I just bought my wife a Fusion

yeah, I'm holding out for the rebates on the MS6 myself. MS vehicles drop in msrp SO fast it makes no sense to buy them when they first come out. I'll buy the MS6 and put a fmic and exhaust on it and be done with it.
The interior of the MS3 is pure hotness though. Much nicer than the new GTi.

first of all Mazda would never sell another miata or rx8 if they gave the MS3 the AWD system. You can't have your cheapest entry outrunning your "sports car". The Mazdaspeed Miata is .1s slower than the rx8....know why? Now you do!
official numbers are 253bhp and 260tq iirc. Plenty strong enough and plenty boostable if we can work out something on the ecu front.
