So i was at a clients today which happens to be a Mazda dealership and got talking about my "fetish" for GTI's and i got offered a test drive in the new Mazda 3 MPS. Couldnt turn that down! Anyway ive driven the old one and wasnt massively impressed so was interested in what this was like.
My first impression was how horrific (visually) the interior was which wasnt a good start but the quality seemed better than the last MPS but still nothing like the Golfs still. I drove for about 15 mins on motorway/60kph roads and the acceleration is still impressive but the power delivery is still quite top end. It wasn't a particularly comfortable ride as far as the suspension goes and certainly wouldn't want to drive it to work every day on Sydney's roads!
To me (and yes I admit I am slightly one sided!) its still a boy racer car which will appeal to many but not to me. I'll stay with what i know
