Mk1 reviews

[ukmps3]

Guys, im looking for abit of help been in the uk there wasn't that much attention paid to the MPS, so im looking for some of the decent reviews done from over here so far ive seen the motor trend site and road and track

are there any other good reads??

thanks

Road and track had a good series of reviews.

Grassroots motorsports has articles about their time with one

But try mazdaspeed instead of MPS

Their's certainly more.

Especially comparison articles since the MS3 is more recognized as the king of hot hatches at least stateside than I had thought.

Yeah the Euro's mostly hate the "3MPS" because they say it's basically an un drivable torque steering pig according to UK Top Gear. But on the other hand the VW GTI is God's gift to hot hatches.

So yeah search "Mazdaspeed3" for much better / accurate reviews. They all pretty much grossly over state the issue of "torque steer" (reality is that it's not an issue if you know how to drive properly: both hands on wheel, throttle modulation, etc) but they're not nearly as bad as Euro sources such as UK TG, etc.

^^^ this, plus they got renaultsport and all the other awesome hatches across the pond.
