Hi Kurt, as soon as I saw your car, I took my sister's XR5 for a drive hehehe (she went on hols with her bf overseas) so her car is in the garage and I tell you this thing is awesome to drive.....so zippy hahaha!!

Hey Kurt, damn!!! Ford huh? Yeah I can see where you are coming from with the history and all.

Nice car, you must bring it to the next meet and show it off

Never been in one before.

Nice work Kurt, I also wouldn't blame you for looking elsewhere for a new car after all the crap you went through with your old car, Then for a dealer to say he is to busy.....that would be my last straw too... :evil:

Did Mazda let you drive the MPS3? MPS3 is an animal to drive

Can't wait to drive my mates one when he's down here in Feb... Especially with the HKS SSQV on it (I swear I had nothing to do with that

) & upgrading suspension

.

I have to say the MPS3 is a much more exciting car overall, but the XR5 is, well, as you put it, more chick friendly... Very easy & forgiving to drive. Honestly, go get it tuned & change the muffler & you'll be a very happy chappy

I'd would've given the GTI a miss also. They are still a nice car, but for the money, the XR5 or MPS3 are better value... Plus there is a new Golf due out later this year isn't it?

Damn it's annoying how little power is lost to the wheels in a FWD.
