Hmmm....What do you think?
I like it. I really miss the versatility my Pontiac Vibe had, but this is a *edit*hatch*edit* with some JUICE.

Rep Power: 339 yes, and no........... lets say youre coming out of a corner in 1st gear, or 2nd..... you mash the pedal, both front wheels will spin and you'll still have understeer. But I could be wrong.... but any more power and this thing may become more and more of a non-daily driver.

At least the MS3 is a Mazda. They know how to handle handling. No pun intended.

It's Japanese, not American.

Rep Power: 0 I'd like to test drive one of these things when they are released and see how it compares to the Mazda 3 GT sitting my garage right now. I'm hoping they'll maintain the smoothness and handling of the present 3. Mazda seems to know handling, but I don't know about so much FWD power, I pray to God they change the engine mounts, my 3 has quite a bit of axle tramping and thats only at 160hp. They really should make it AWD, relive the 323GTX days...

i think it looks awesome. especialy compared to the other things they sell in europe right now. i was in greece this summer and good looking cars were few and far between. I saw that damn toyota Yaris done up on every street i turned onto.
looks compact and sleek. certainly not a north american car though...
