Mazda 3 MPS (Mazdaspeed 3) Report 'Kicks' WRX

CarsGuide.com.au Mazda 3 MPS Report....



"The "Rex" has been a perennial favorite with boy racers, testosterone overdosing males, wannabe rally drivers, pretenders, ram raiders and joy riders"

Who cares about the WRX, it's the STI that's important.

I thought his comments were funny, and mate I am not "bashing" on the WRX, sorry, but "KICK" is my word....

Review Is written by CarsGuide and I have posted many links by the same News Ltd site.

It's INFO man...

Most road test and reviews are the personal opinion of the road tester/author, because there are no times the review is lacking on facts.... times of the 3 turbo are known, even when they are given many don't or won't believe them. I guess it depends on the "quality" of their timing equipment ,the conditions and the driver(s) ability on the day...

From their star rating, the WRX, Focus XR5, Astra and Mazda MPS are pretty similar according to the site, the Mazda is obviously the latest model in this category and price, and yeah he appears to like it.

I agree though, its not "heavy' on data...

I for one like the lack of data. After all, what do 0-60 and slalom speeds matter on the street, since the average driver will never achieve them (assuming they even attempt to, not to mention the stress on the car, etc.) I'd much rather read about the "feel" of the car and its other subjective qualities. If its stats you want, those are available anywhere without the article around them.

Ah... true all the opinions on how a Z is fantastic by writers makes sales and wannabees.

So a good review for a Wild Child is fantastic.
