Even if it was MPS3, the FWD has a bad torque steer tho with a LSD, it's not a RWD Bimmer and doesnt ride like the comfort of a 118i, no doubt cheaper by a RM15-20K, but higher roadtaz

The few good points of MPS3 over 118i other than price is that it is not afraid to look badass (the wicked hood scoop and oversized spoiler), japanese reliability and low maintenance, and it is 5.6sec car, very very quick...this alone is a value for money performance car and can be well considered, at 170K you get a mtfkr that is nurburgring tuned car with mazda service and warranty is a steal leh...Evo/Subby is 300K new. It's a wildest dream (affordable) performance car

One is more performance oriented with alot more above average comfort and feel like luxury stuff thrown in. Another is a perfectly packaged daily drive with a serious brand name.

All this talk about RWD is pure bullshit unless you tell me you drive your RWD with traction control turned off all the time and push your car to the edge. Otherwise with traction control on, it doesn't feel very much different from driving a normal FWD car.

Hmm my car is RWD without having traction control and sometimes I do push it. Of course nobody drives like crazy all the time every single day lor, coz it's public roads and we still want to live!  Just feels nice to have a car where the front won't wash wide when you corner on the gas.
