Some years ago I had Mazda 2,3 Sport (not turbo engine- just previous type) with acceleration 8,9 s/100 km /h and has quite good experience (except of repeated swithing off a front xenon headlight). Do you have any experience with used 6 MPS? That one has 180 000 kms. Thank you, V. Thx. for comments, right now I think about buying used 6 MPS.

My 2005 MPS goes like a scolled cat, looks great and is a pure driving pleasure. I had travelled 110,000ks in 1.3 years. Not many Australian cars can match my MPS, if they think they can its only because I am playing with them. Ive boosted the turbo just a tad, made a huge difference, first gear doesnt have much legs but once out of that gate get out of my face. Let’s cut the crap.

It has the same 1/4 mile time as the current (and fastest) WRX with far more comfort, luxury and style. It wont keep up with the hardcore STi and Evo, but it was never meant to do so. In the real world and off the racetrack, it's really critical that a cars performance is accessible and repeatable, thats why i chose it over other turbos. The 6MPS does it easily with its low end torque, no need to rev and dump the clutch, also more likely to respond quicker as down shifting is often not required. Pure numbers dont tell the whole story and remember those figures are the best that were obtained under often severe and brutal conditions!

Hopefully they dont tart it up like in those pictures though. A 6 mps coupe would be awesome, 209kw v6 awd in coupe form already sounds like a winner.

The MPS 6 is really more for cruising along with the occasional quick over-taking maneuver or to blow off your average Ford/Holden/Toycrapta at the red light grand prix.
