Hello to all ,new to the forum, taken a brief look at the threads some interesting topics.I am a new owner of the Mazda3 MPS red in color(Mazdaspeed) Reside in Johannesburg,South Africa, had a look at the members list and did not see any South Africans listed on the Forum unless I am mistaken.

Looking forward to hear from fellow South Africans or any members that are as passionate about Mazdas as I am,the new ride is sweet!!!!!!!!!!!

Welome onboard.... I think you will find most here are passionate about their MS3/M3 first, Mazdas second, and cars in general third... some with equal degree on all three.....

In South Africa the car is named as an MPS (Mazda Performance Series)There are also quite a few specification differences on the interior between the MPS and the Mazdaspeed,engine and performance are exactly the same

Oh yeah? What are the differences?

Oh yeah? What are the differences?

No cruise control,no xenon lights,no heated seats,electric heated and folding mirrors

The MPS must be the GT here.

Sounds more like the sport, though does the American version have heated seats and mirrors?

I am not too sure since I don't own one.
