If u're okay with the torque steer, by all means go go go!

i read that mazda has no testdrive for this car. have to buy straight

the torque steer is present but not as bad with the current technology already.

besides, the mps with bose sound system is a very value for money Hothatch. 0-100 6.x sec.

its competitor is the VW Gti R around RM280k if not wrong.

If you're really interested I can arrange a Mazda MPS test drive unit. However, it'll only be available around next Thursday , Friday or Saturday.

how much MPS now?
thanks

^ around RM 178 -180k i believe OTR

u can ask kcng....oh wait....he trashed it

RM179,912.30 OTR with insurance.

However, there's additional RM15,000 discount if you book it in Dec 2012. I'm unsure if this additional discount will last till End Jan 2013.

i am also looking at the car, but the 20k given discount by mazda is 2011 built rite?

i dont mean to be cynical but if can afford a rm180k car, why save the rm15k for one year late made. better get the newer year made and can sell off higher than rm15k

UNLESS, you intend to keep the car for, say, >5yrs then , of course take advantage of it. I believe after 5-6th years, the bulk of the dep already taken up de

gdluck and do take picture and post it here ok! How long waiting period?

My friend had test driven it and he said handling not good and way too much torque steer. The engine overpowers the chassis.
I also read the comparison article between MPS vs FD2R vs Megane RS and the MPS despite the cheapest price still end up being the lowest score due to handling.

the torque steer can be reduced / eliminated by lowering the car.the stock handling is not that bad if you know how the car behave. this car is Golf/Scirocco killer, had a Golf Gti having a hard time with overheated DSG trying to catch up with the Mazda MPS

Straight line of course it will trash the Golf GTI, it has bigger engine and a lot more power. But yeah, people have their own preferences. Better test drive then decide.

seriously? 15k discount only? some dealers even offered up to 30k discount man....

Grats to you if you were given that offer.

150k for a new MPS is ....

How come the Mazda MPS has torque steer while other similar powered cars like the Golf GTI don't have torque steer?

VW gti is not as power as Mazda MPS. MPS eats the gti for breakfast.

the VW Golf R is competitor for Mazda MPS and teh Golf R is an All wheel drive

There was also the Alfa Romeo 147 GTA Autodelta. 328 hp out of a 3.7l V6, or 400 hp if you bought the supercharged version. And yes, front wheel drive. According to Clarkson it handled quite well. Though I'm not quite sure if he meant the "regular" version or the supercharged one.

The VW Golf W12 (Bentley Continental GT engine IIRC in a mid engined Golf V) was also supposed to be rather ok, though that one was AWD.
