What Should I Get Mps3, Mps6 Or Rx8

[PhilGTR]

Im considering one of these as my everyday car now if i sell my GTR.

What would u guys buy if u had to pick?

In terms of

-Performance

-Looks

-Practicality

-And overall what you think is the best buy!

[eMsta]

mps6 or even mps3

rx-8 is nice but i dunno - im not a huge fan of them

[evil_weevil]

either the mps3 or mps6

what do you need?

another sports car?rwd? rx8

family cruiser with room for holidays with grunt?

mps3 - fit the golf clubs and buggies in easily

my choice would be mps3

even still its a fwd

[WTF-33R]

3 MPS is nice but FWD? and the price compared to a Golf GTi, or XR5 its a bit pricey. My pick would be the 6 MPS. Heavy (1800kg) but ive seen a stocker pull a 14.3 at the drags. RX8 is too high maintianence.

Performance Car, Everyday, Practicality...

WRX

How about an R32 Golf?

they'd be out of the price range though Id imagine.

was reading on performance forums a bloke did a 13.9 stock for the mps3!!!!

[WTF-33R]

gti golf is 20k cheaper than the R32 golf. there again you can say ypu had 2 R32's

[evil_weevil]

for the 3 door manuals the difference is $16500

for the top 5 door DSG's its $15800

Prices are as follows:

R32 - GTI = Difference

3 door Manual $54990 - $38490 = $16500

3 Door DSG $57290 - $40790 = $ 16500

5 Door Manual $56490 - $39990 = $16500

5 Door DSG $58790 - $42290 = $15800

Some other Hot hatch alternatives:

Renault Mgane RenaultSport 225 = $37990-$44490

Mercedes A200 Turbo $44400

Holden Astra Turbo/HSV VXR $34990-$42990

Ford Focus XR5 $35990

Alfa Romeo 147 GTA $59990 (I dont like Alfas, but after one drive of the 147 GTA I fell in love with it.

yeah go MPS-3 fo sho

i was a a passanger in one last week and i have to admit the thing was nice... like surprisingly really nice

[PhilGTR]

Hmm i want a 4 door thats the basic, something that has space and looks good. I was leaning towards a MPS6 because i think it looks bette than the 3. But its not as quick. But definetly not a WRX and they are everywhere. I want more luxury with a bit of grunt

[ctjet]

LS-1 VZ Calais

In that case, I'd pick the MPS6. The 3 is good but it's more of a hot hatch and lacks the space and AWD of the 6. The 6 is also a bargain given the price similarity to the 3.

The RX8 is certainly the best looking car of the bunch but unfortunately the least practical and I believe least reliable...also quite heavy on oil and fuel.

mps3

[Boof]

Never thought of the xr5 turbo?? Or you just wanna stick with your mazda ideas??

Whats the boot space like in a mps3??????

[big_d]

not one of your options so I thought I'd throw in an idea:

Grab yourself an EVO7. Outstanding performance when you're in the mood for a thrashing, and a beautiful every day driver. Very nice indeed. Should be able to pick one up for around 37ish with about 30-40,000 ks on it - depending where you buy it.

Not a huge fan of the mazda's you've listed, but hey, personal preferences.

Evo 7 FTW

deriq.

[evil_weevil]

looks like Sam did his research

[PhilGTR]

I considered an evo 7 as they are at a similar price to the 3 and 6 but i just dont like the look of them. But an Evo 8 on the otherhand *drools* But too expensive. XR5 turbo never even thought about it! but it looks alright eh, is it quicker than both the mps 3 and 6?
