Get it. At stock boost its a reliable car. The Protege was a very good car and when the MSP is run at the boost it was engineered for; its reliable. Mazda makes excellent cars, IMHO the most underrated Japanese auto company. The handling is absolutely sick and its a good looking car with 4...

I am a relatively tall guy(:) ) and yet I prefer small, nimble cars as shown by my choices of cars. I don't need large overpriced tanks or brand name car snobbiness(two kinds of cars I could easily afford), to make me feel good. Im not a showoff and believe you show the size of your...

Its funny, but there is no Spec V yet there is a 160 hp Protege which is kind of a MSP. Haha I like it how the Mazda 3 got punked and wasnt put in the game as a "new" car while the Protege was and its not even a new car anymore. I was happy when I saw it there. What a game!! Put a little...

Performace: MSP>Mazda 3 (ignoring the MZ3's looks) :) Are you an enthusiast? If so, then see above.

Yes.

All I know is they last forever.

Its an improvement. But not good enough. Try again Honduh. 1. No turdbo 2. STILL no double wishbone suspension..thats what made the old Si so sweet 3. No LSD...or does it? 4. Its kinda ugly IMHO The fact remains is it probablt can't outperform the MSP (other than straight-line), SRT-4 et...

I was watching Fifth Gear, the British car show on satellite this morning and they talked about the Civic Type R and how it was such a good value etc. It really is a badass car. Why on earth doesnt Honda bring it to the US? Are they insane? I dont get it. Any ideas, I mean Ive thought of this I...

Why isnt the MSP on that list?

Mazda becoming Toyota?? No, say it aint so!?! That would truly be a travesty..we've got to do something...petition? ;)

Before ever having my MSP, I would have said Si. But Mazda has made a believer out of me. So...MP3. Ooops too late.

Ive driven the EVO. Day to day handling is a wash. Both cars have handling limits which far exceed anything conceivable in normal driving. You know what, Id actually say the MSP is more "chuckable', tossable, than the EVO b/c of its lighter weight and smaller turning radius. The interior is...

The day the MSP can be a good rally car is the day fat chicks get dates. The suspension is too low and stiff and the stock tires are strictly for pavement. The MSP is a tight autoX bish and a 1/2 tho... :)

Edmunds is good but they drive like grandmas.

Its a great car. It has a racing suspension. It has a fancy radio. It has a turbo. Who cares about reliability?--->Although it is reliable.

I liked the SCC article where they called the "MSP" a special car and talked about hustling it down a twisty road..the the "slack jawed" amazement at its handling. I like it because it really captures how great the car is in from an enthusiasts point of view. Also, don't forget the "Great Grip"...

Yes. Very very sick handling. :) Its not the best daily driver and I dont think it was engineered as one; more of a track/weekend car. But it will do the job. Your wife must be cool to be willing to get a car like the MSP. Most girls I know are into luxury/status not performance. ;) Im from...

No doubt the Elise is a better performer than the MSP. But didnt the MP3 come close to the Elise in the slalom and in cornering G's(not skidpad) in that now infamous Road and Track article? Im still proud of the MSP/MP3 tho. :) I wouldnt trade it in for a a Elise. Id trade it in for a EVO MR...
