Curious as to when it might be available. and big Tdown to Mazda not selling the car to all mazda dealers only SPEED certified dealers… Looks like a great replacement for the current GF’s Focus hatch. ---

wow, they’ve upped the power since the last time I saw info on the car. Used to be detuned from the speed6. Now they are stating in excess of 250 hp along with 263 hp/280 lb-ft. Quite a bit for front drive but I’m sure it will be fun, I want one. ---

it has wheel position sensitve traction control. might get a bit funny rounding corners… but with that much torque in such a little car. well . little egg shaped car. who knows. all i know is if it will turn corners like my focus with a little work. it will be a quick (straitline) fun 5 door hatch. ---

I’m not too sure if you’re able to used the S Plan on the MS3, since it’s kinda of like a “speciality” vehicle. So it really depend on the dealership. I called several dealerships and tried to get S plan pricing on the new PRHT Miata. They refused.
