Come on give us short review...bored read and watched oversea review...but saw some maybe in 20 of group test drove it over 250 kmh in youtube...imagine that only test drive...last week went to Mazda showroom @ Juru Autocity, Penang but sadly this car no longer in there...they said it only preview on launching day only...ask them can test drive or not...they said need to booking 1st RM3k...if later dont like it can get fully refund. i dont know this car better looking than Golf Gti or not...since i cannot see the exact car...but price different around 30k...choose Gti lesser 40hp, good looking, comfort and quality Euro car...choose MPS cheaper 30k, higher 40hp, stick gear, bigger space and boot, Bose sound system...and 6s 0-60...top speed around 250kmh. but the front bumper look like smiling face...for me not so garang...

Clocking 1100km now.

Power: Front wheel turbo i "felt" the G-force more than a stock AWD Turbo. Actual power i think any stock Evo/STi still wins hands down. It is yet more powerful compared to a stock DSG 2.0T.

Gearbox: 6 speed manual with relatively "high positioned" clutch. Short shift. No problems otherwise.

Chassis: Stiff, firm, but it absorps quite well. Happy with it at the moment won't think of after market suspension upgrade.

Brakes: Just nice for now. Haven't try on highspeed e braking.

Interior: Like it. It even has a boost meter readily in between the tacho/speedo.

Sound proofing: Quite well for a performance series. Felt better than my previously sound proofed Lancer.

BOSE: Quite good for stock sound system. Only problem is 1 or 2 satellite actually vibrates if the song comes with higher bass input. It probably needs a better speaker box.

Overall impression: This is a balanced performance and comfort car. It is comfortable for drivers and chicks :) It is not as brutal as a STI, not as harsh as a Type R but also not as comfortable as a SL350. I think Mazda has made it in between. Some may think that its neither here nor there, but i think it suits normal driver like myself.

I think it may not fit its "Mazda Performance Series" category if that means hardcore performance. I guess, Mazda 3 sports is a better description for this car.

there is 1 blue MPS in the training room when i was at the Lot 9 showroom...
i check out the interior and exterior... literally molested every single area of the car...

fuh, manual with auto cruise wei... :proud:

the clutch is not that heavy, so for sure no problem with jam

brake according to the sales person (delvin) is 4 pot but i have yet to get confirmation as the trainer is in the room with one of the workers...
i try to look closer but its hard as i cant peek under the car....
indeed a sleeper car, take out the MPS badge behind and people will think its the regular 3, so if kena tailgate, step harder abit on the gas and weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee fly...


only think is this car come with dunlop ST sport 225/45R18 rubbers.. but not a ZR rating rubbers.. and this car has an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h..

so was just curious, can this rubber hold if the car is maintained at 220-240 km/h ?

there is 2 unit waiting for delivery..
damn..
jealous of the new owners

Mr. TTH, can you comment a bit on Dunlop 2050? kakaka

 

[neokenzo]

Past Kota Damansara just now and saw a MPS park outside the showroom. I didnt ask but I think that could be a test drive car. Not that clean to be a showroom car.

 

[kcng]

is it registered?
meaning is there a number plate for that car?
:D

 

[neokenzo]

Sorry I didnt notice whether it got plates.

Around Kota Kemuning/ Bukit Rimau got one celestial blue. Plate no. Wxx 92
