Looks like Golf is still the king of hatchback

MPS seems to be ignored / overlooked / under-sold in sgp market... a pity

MPS 6 - good torque match with a good gearbox.

Sadly, heavy so it is more for the executives...

You know, I drove it before.

 

First gen MPS 3 - same engine & gearbox.

No ECU control for 1st & 2nd gear....

Alot of torque steer....

It is really a good hatch but sadly, not sold in Singapore.

 

Second gen MPS 3 - same engine & gearbox.

ECU control for 1st & 2nd gear....

Minimal torque steer....

Lose the "rawness like Vtec/Ivtec".

 

I am rather happy that MM say good bye.

Were thinking of getting a MZ from the new dealer however, this one also cannot make it.

& with my current ride, I bid good bye to Japs [laugh] as next ride should also be an Italian....

the few companies which make DSG boxes and supply them to car makers will be laughing to the banks soon... [:)]

 

i guess the jap always dont give up easily until really got no choice.... this may be one such cases

mazda perserveres with the rotary till today when other makers gave it up long ago... or given up lately?

 

yes i agree with ur 2nd statement. like even now with all the environmentalist thing, they still insist on hybrid tech instead of the turbo routes taken by europeans. well mayb they wil hv the last laugh but at this point, its jus like selling ice to eskimos. [:)]

Love it or hate it.

I love it for the butt but not the face.

But the overall figure still acceptable for me...

give them a call & say you want to buy a dozen OPC 159.

See how much they offer you.

 

And then ask, if buy 1 only how much.... & try to use the price quoted for dozen for your one car...

Giulietta is the replacement for 147, not Mito.
