Oh, NICE!

tgladden March-27th-2006 09:38 PM

...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 March-27th-2006 10:19 PM

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

ivo March-27th-2006 11:03 PM

Very Nice! :bt:

ivo March-27th-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

Esteban March-28th-2006 12:44 AM

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

eggynatey March-28th-2006 10:09 AM

<---wants those seats in his P5

macdaddyslomo March-28th-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 March-28th-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 March-30th-2006 12:17 PM

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

BigCT March-31st-2006 10:03 PM

What about the Sedan?!?!?!

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

squirrelwithnuts April-3rd-2006 08:49 AM

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

Roddimus Prime April-3rd-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 April-4th-2006 07:38 AM

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

Roddimus Prime April-4th-2006 07:25 PM

Making the rx8 faster isn't really a problem but it will cost more and may have a negative effect on reliability which mazda is STRIVING so hard to repair their image on.

MS3 will probably come out later this year....sept or so. The MS6 is on it's way out and the MS3 is next up...they release one every year.

Termisk8er June-20th-2006 01:01 PM

WHY??? sigh i dont understand y anytime i get an awesome car they come out with the better version...

Axelamx3 September-28th-2006 11:26 PM

very sharp looking, wish myn looked anything like that

briggster October-4th-2006 09:54 PM

hey guys do you know where i can order tail lights like those? We don't have them here in Asia?

Tigermack December-6th-2006 06:26 PM

Too bad, it isn't AWD.

macdaddyslomo December-6th-2006 07:37 PM

would be nice...but it would make the 3 cost as much as the MS6....

rule of business...never compete against yourself

Zoom_Zoom1 January-8th-2007 11:21 PM

Those pics are awsome! My MPS is that colour red - its soooo hot!!!

dappa1 March-19th-2007 03:36 AM

interior looks good

rx794 June-7th-2007 11:35 AM

Cool pics!

Rinny August-14th-2007 09:56 PM

the close i get to friday, the more souped i get for my car. my dad's favorite car was a mazda RX7 back in the day and as of right now i am absolutely in love with the car i want!!! MAZDA for the win

J-Protege August-15th-2007 06:59 AM

LOL, I love how the last 3 posts are so far apart. Everytime this thread dies, it comes back to life a few months later :P

Tis' a sweet car though, too bad no sedan version.

SlvrP5 August-25th-2007 04:00 PM

I never noticed it before on the 3 but whats up with the upper part of the lower grill? Looks like my granpa before he puts in his teeth lol....very nice nonetheless

J-Protege August-25th-2007 07:00 PM

Anyone notice that they burnt a taillight out before the pics were taken in pic 4?

Pic #2 as well, right side taillight.

:D

kalidororiginal August-26th-2007 06:50 AM

:FIREdevil HI GUYS.I WANT to ask you were i can find rear spoiler for my mazda?See my car in cardomain ''kalidor'' mazda3...I waiting your answer...:blue:

J-Protege August-26th-2007 10:14 PM

What an absolutely wierd place to ask...

You may want to make a whole new thread as it should get more attention.

wasntmeofficer2.3 September-14th-2007 10:39 PM

dosnt AWD require some sort of power going to the back wheels? am i missing something?

_Kansei_ September-14th-2007 11:05 PM

I'm guessing you're referring to the first post in this thread. Check the timestamp on that, it was made nearly a year and a half ago. Nobody knew whether or not it was going to be AWD at that time.

Hunchback drvr September-21st-2007 10:32 PM

Must say not real happy with design. I enjoyed the 06-07 model. It had style ques that set it off. Rear wing spoiler that stood out from body, factory ground effects, new light design. Now it looks like an 08 GT model hatch. On second thought, I like the sleeper aspect:bigthumb: . Debadge it and look out!

The pics posted in this thread were posted way before the MS3 even came out.. and remember, this is a Mazda3 MPS, NOT a Mazdaspeed3. I guess we only get the ricier spoiler on this continent ;)

Marker323 October-22nd-2007 10:21 AM

i wish i could of saved up for this instead, but i still love my mz3 h/b.

It's a rocket...i wish i had one!

povar May-19th-2009 01:45 AM

Very Nice!

channelv September-20th-2009 08:35 PM

ALL those pics are the MPS (in Europe, the equiv of the mazdaspeed3). I don't like the wheels of any of the mazdaspeed versions including the 6 also WAY too many spokes....less air for the brakes and a pain to clean. I believe the HP for the mazdaspeed3 is 260. It's the same 2.3 with slightly lower compression and a medium sized turbocharger on it, which remains the same for the 2010 model.

The 2010 has a subtle hood scoop to suck air into that air cleaner as you can see in the drivetrain layout, similar to the subie STI, but doesnt stick out. Yet HP etc numbers remain the same, and the front end still looks like a smiling frog. I'm waiting for conservative bodykits to fix that travesty :)
