  2. [..YouTube..] I like the newness and the overall package but… The old 02 WRX hatch gets better mileage while being modified suspension and engine wise. I cant hate on its rattles and basic interior. Its payed for and this new mousy looking thing is far from burning a hole in my trade in pocket.

  3. [..YouTube..] GTI interior destroys this car’s interior.

  5. [..YouTube..] i have the 2010 MS3 (nothing has changed for 2011 model) and i still love it! all i have is a full intake and a rear motor mount (RMM). I wanted more mods but i am actually happy with what i have now ;) great car.

    On a side note, If you are getting this car or have it i recommend the rear motor mount. It greatly reduces torque steer and wheel hop. Plus puts more power to the ground! The best part is it takes only 5 minutes to install!

  6. [..YouTube..] @DocWolph – Because it adds weight and cost, and 90% of the MS3′s target market will be content with FWD. I have both a Mazda6 (V6, manual) and an MS6, and while the MS6 is obviously a much quicker car, the regular 6 is more nimble, more responsive, and provides a more direct connection between the driver and the road. The MS6 makes a better winter car and stoplight warrior, but other than that the regular 6 is more fun to drive without the extra weight and ponderous AWD system.

  7. [..YouTube..] I really dont like it when they limit toque in lower gears. If they cant handle low down torque put the traction control on. As for torque its really not a big issue unless you cant hold a steering wheel properly

  15. [..YouTube..] @DocWolph
    look at how well the ms6 did, a complete smashing sales success was it not?

    no sir no, awd. it would make the ms3 slower and price it out of the segment.

    if anything rwd would be a far, far better idea.

  17. [..YouTube..] the power of the car is great, the only thing that would stop me from getting this car is the look of the interior and exterior

  18. [..YouTube..] Very nice 3. It looks sweet and sounds pretty quiet for a performance car too. Love the sound of the engine.

  20. [..YouTube..] @ron20102002 Not in a compact. Most mid and compact cars barely have 200 these days, the only ones that do are ones with a V6 option in the midsize segments. 400-500 Hp is not suitable for such a car and would make it undriveable for the average person, not to mention the engine would not last very long if they kept it an I4.
