to late... already did it the old fashioned way
the msp does not have the euro spec steering. this is one of the negative things that some car magazines have complained about when comparing it to the mp3. They said it has lost some road feel, and you can't feel what the front wheels are doing so well in comparison to the mp3.
Having owned both the mp3, and msp. both at the same time, driving them back to back. It was plain obvious that the mp3 was more direct, more responsive, required less turns of the wheel when compared to the msp. BUT, while that is all good for a track, autox etc., in real world driving where bumps and ruts are common place, the msp steering is more forgiving. There are many roads here that I would never drive one handed in the mp3 as it followed every single crack and rut in those roads and would almost take the wheel out of my hand. But, the msp does not or at least not as bad. It's a trade off I guess. It cost less for MAzda to not put the close ratio steering in the msp, that is probably the real reason why it is not there, and not the fact that it's easier to drive on bumper roads.
But...we have stock turbo's
and better stock tires! and....and.....
my driveway, this time last year
the good ole days
