Adam Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Just took my next door neighbours 07 mazda 3 mps out for a loon. Bloody lovely car. Spins in the dry in 1st 2nd and 3rd. Drives nice and it only cost him £17,000. Great value for what you get. 2.3 turbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robin Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 It cant be bad with a published 0-60 of 5.8 Impressive for fwd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steviekid Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 If it handles as well as the standard Mazda 6 does it'll be a brilliant car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Not super quick though I think I read some where that it was 2 - 3 seconds off for taking the nurburgring record for its class... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattanna Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 0-60 of 5.9, but then it is light, looks awful and is a 4 cylinder so will sound crap, top speed 155 limited i am sure? prob does 150 max, 280lb/ft of torque, so for an evry day car ok i suppose but by the standards of Supra tt etc not good, i would not pay £18000 for it and if i won one i would sell it:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 You can pick them up for £16850 new and they are limited to 155. If you get them with the aero kit it looks great in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffleman Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Thruxton have a few and I have been taken round in one - they do go well, but look nothing special at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I have a 1.6 mazda, and love it as a run around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Having had a couple of Mazdas in the past I'd have another any day - as a runaround of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I was driving the Golf R32 the other day and came accross one of these. Round the corners he had no chance, I was pushing him round the roundabout but as soon as the corner opened up he was gone. VERY fast in a straight line.

robin Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 It's always hard to judge because some people are very cautious on the bends. Once youve gone round a bend and meet somone on your side of the road driving toward you and written off the car you just bought 2 weeks ago you tend not to think CAN I get round.
