One would expect a hatch that’s being touted as Mazda’s hottest-ever to arrive to huge fanfare, but instead Mazda SA has just silently filtered a few test units to select media. It’s as if the local arm of the Japanese carmaker felt huge trepidation about launching the new Mazda3 MPS after what journalists and customers had to say about the previous generation.

I think that having this
I think that having this vehicle tested, reliability issues would be a good thing to have here. I think that things would have been very much great and interesting if you would have some auto repair in that one. Thinking about it also, Mazda is a nice make brand. Let's just hope things would be well in the long run for this one.
What happened to the good ol days?
what happened to the good ol days of the uno turbo, ford escort cosworth and the opel astra TS only to mention a few, where it was all about power, acceleration and tractability. Because that is what hot hatches are all about and today the Mazda 3 Mps and the astra opc are the only cars which have kept the same formula, the Mazda deserves to succeed in my opinion it betters the Golf gti and Honda Type R which cant compete in terms of performance with the mps, if you want a soft ride get the Mazda 3 2.5 individual but if a hot hatch is what you after, relentless performance nothing in the market can compete with the MPS unless you are willing to pay extra for a focus RS or an Audi S3?

1457
The weight is confirmed as 1457kg on the new model, the previous model was 1407kg
Confused and amazed
I'm confused, earlier in the article it's stated that the new MPS is lighter that the former 'dropping the kerb weight from 1 438 to1385kg.' yet the weight on the last page reflects 1457kg?
Anyway I am not shocked by the local Mazda dealers limiting the attention to this car because that's what FMCSA always does, the greatest cars from the Mazda stable never get the attention they deserve hence they are always relegated to mediocre status irrespective of their supremecy over rivals, i.e. the RX-8! My personal opinion, for a long as Mazda is under the FMC wing they'll never amount to anything more than 'bland'! Yes I know they don't make the greatest products (my Accord is eaons ahead of the Mazda 6) but they do have niche areas where they excel or at least make good enough offerings to rival the best this being one of them but that's a status reserved for Ford cars in terms of marketing!
