Oh, NICE!

...Ummm...the chassis layout pic....doesn't appear to be AWD...and from what Car & Driver is telling the world...it won't be offered...at least not stateside...sad for those of us living in a cold climate!!

Roddimus Prime Mar 27, 2006 10:19 PM

yeah, it's FWD only but still very nice. I love the seats and the NAV controls.

ivo Mar 27, 2006 11:03 PM

Very Nice! :bt:

ivo Mar 27, 2006 11:10 PM

Nice tires also :) Bridgestone Potenza RE050A
Seems like they'll be much better than our OEM Good Year Eagle RS-A

i like how in the front it looks like a face with an evil, i know something you dont, grin :winkyum:

eggynatey Mar 28, 2006 10:09 AM

<---wants those seats in his P5

macdaddyslomo Mar 28, 2006 12:19 PM

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

Roddimus Prime Mar 28, 2006 08:57 PM

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.

GirlieGurl Mar 30, 2006 12:17 PM

I wish I could have held out for the turbo3. Very sweet indeed.

BigCT Mar 31, 2006 10:03 PM

What about the Sedan?!?!?!

I'm not digging the wheels but the interior made very jealous...

First of all that is absolutely retarded not to offer the full AWD version. Secondly, what is the horsepower looking like? Thanks.

Roddimus Prime Apr 3, 2006 06:30 PM

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.

squirrelwithnuts Apr 4, 2006 07:38 AM

So make the rx8 even faster :0). Is there any rought time frame of the release of the MS3? Thanks.
