On the weekend I drove both the SP25 and the Maxx Sport both auto. I found the Maxx Sport to be lively with more throttle response and quit inside. Ths SP25 sounded like a front load washing machine and I do not think the extra 3K is worth it for the SP25 – only thing I would like in the Maxx Sport would be the Auto A/C. The SP25 did not feel any quicker than the SP25 and this may be dues to the it being near 80kg heavier that the Maxx Sport. I think that Mazda needs to reduce litre size and add turbo / supercharger to smaller, fuel efficent engines – I also think that Mazda makes excellent Rotary motors and many years ago, I have a hand full of rotary models. (put a rotary in the 3) If Mazda made piston engines like Honda, then we would have a nice package.

Thoughts anybody.

Mate I don’t have a trade in so no change over! Are you drunk or something?

I don’t see what difference it makes what I’m trading in, a dealer has looked at it and said we’ll give me $2000…. I suppose I’m wondering do you have more room to move apart from what they’ll give you for the trade in? e.g retail $325000, $2000 trade in, would it be unreasonable to ask for a $28000 change over?

Got my red hot SP25 Luxury pack abit more than 3 weeks ago.
I gotta say it ;looks stunning up close. U dont even notice the smiley grin
for those who don’t like it.
The red sparklers in the sun and it looks amazing.
The leather seats are very comfy and the 10 speaker SUB pack totally rocks.
Love the bluetooth option, very convenient and you can even get the car to dial numbers for you with the power of your own words!

Car done just over 500kms now.. on a full tank i can do close to 650kms.
The 6 speed manual shifting is smooth and nice. My sp23 friend is jealouse!
His only got 5 speed manual on it and its a bigger throw to change gears compared to mine he said!.

The total was $36500 (from sydney Liverpool Mcgrath dealer).
I had a 1996 Honda Civic sedan auto. that i traded in (it had done 160000kms).

Chucked in windshileds, sp25 floor matts, full tank of fuel.
Drove away for $31,600. After bargain + trade in.

Not bad for a SP25 LUXURY!
You get what you pay for.. its an awesome car!

Have owned the car for about a week now and nearly done 400 kays. If you dont buy it, you gotta at least take a look at it in the metal and drive it. Whacks the crap outta all its competitors (although i admit to not having driven or riden ALL small/medium cars under $30000). Looks great in and out, cabin materials feels a class above, decent economy, good build and finish, sweet dynamics, nice standard features (except for that annoying passenger seatbelt sensor). Honestly cannot think of one car in this class that even comes close. My smile is almost as big as that grill. Just dont take it that seriously.

Hi, ordered an SP25 for $32168 including mats, drive away. National Car Search. Novating at 9.1% and so will cost less than $450 per month..cheaper petrol, insurance, rego and servicing by salary packaging….be rude not to.

I drove it (sp25) and loved it so much I bought it (sedan with luxury pack, sunroof tints, rear sensor options) just a tad over 40k driveaway.

Love the bluetooth (for mobile phone and wireless ipod) and the satnav has been useful on a few occasions. Lots of zoom zoom…

These days I’m making any excuse to take it for another spin !

@ New Owner: sure you can live without the body kit, gizmos etc. – but what about the extra airbags, stability control and the extra star safety rating?

I’m not having a go at you, but seriously, these are extras that you literally may not be able to live without! Please tell me you got the safety pack at least…
