As for being a front wheel drive. Most of the people I took for a spin and the few who got to drive thought it was awd. It just felt so planted even in the wet.The downside was backward hillbillies telling me it was a girls car, laughing because I modified a hatchback etc etc. It was fun blowing away almost everyone who came along. They really are a great car.I will throw in a comment on the focus.The two cars are the sane underneath. C type ford chassis. Brakes, suspension etc all same. The focus has better front seats and can have a sunroof. The engine sounds great but is hard to tune.Id like to see how a stock mps goes against my F6 I can't beat the modded ones :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3's are a good little car but when all is said and done they ARE just a Mazda and not only that but one that doesn't even have a rotary in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought it should have had had a rotary like the old 808 v rx3 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What surprised people is just how good these were with midrange power. Was like a slingshot at speed. The engine design and gearing made for a very fast road car. Great chassis too, so much grip in the corners! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty average compared to the current XRT's, even a BF would probably still just roll it and is way cheaper.Only reason I say that is cause he sold an XRT to get one.
