I am kinda with you, I dont HATE it, but I do like the normal 3 hatch spoiler better.

I don't like the normal 3 hatch spoiler, either. Completely useless. I even took mine off.

One thing I can say for the MPS one, it may actually help keep the back window clear.

The MPS one might help keep it clear? It doesn't look too different in design than the P5 one and ugh the P5 rear is always dirty after a mile or so of driving, especially with the salty streets. In the rain I doubt I could get the car out of the garage without covering the back of the car in mud :P

How is the MPS one different than the stock 3 spoiler other than the inclusion of the LED brake light strip like in the P5.

One last question: Is it better or worse going from the 3 spoiler to no spoiler?

Because the stock 3 one doesn't have any space under it. It's like a backwards baseball cap. I figure if there's an air gap, theoretically it could re-direct the air flow across the window and keep it clear. It's all theory, though. I haven't seen a functional spoiler on any FWD car, so there's no reason to think they'll start now.

Better or worse, how?
Looks? Better, in my opinion.
Window cleanliness? Better, also. Easier to clean, too.

That's the MS3 not the 3 MPS :P

I'm talking about the euro-spec one that the first pics were of. I looked again and it definitely has no gap.
look at that, you are right.

no matter what you do all hatch vehicles will be dirty on the back window, everything is sucked behind the car... thats just the way it is.
 
I actually like the new spoiler. Gives the rear end more character. Still wish they picked better wheels. I wonder if us canucks will get hid's this time around.
 
It doesn't matter what wheels they picked...people will pawn them off on other Mazda owners and upgrade. I bet they'll look nicer on the P5.

(thinks about that for a second)

If it comes to the states in a timely fashion I'll give my P5 to my fiance and trade in her Corolla for MS3. Then I'll put the MS3 rims on the P5 and take my new RX-8 rims and put them on the MS3. That'll look nice.

Why do all the Mazda wheels look good on the P5? Someone needs to get some MS6 wheels on a P5 already :P
 
Except for that mini whale-tail of a spoiler (ick) SWEETNESS! (thumb)
