    The interior of the MY09 WRX looks like a 1980 nissan pulsar, leather looks cheap and gross golden silver bits- also, only wrx sedan looks good (other models look like kia)
    The new 3 MPS is ok. Does not look much different to the older model. The sat nav included in the dash looks nice. I wonder if they have used soft material for dash bits or still hard plastics like in the previous model.

    WRX would be my choice only because of AWD.

    + 2 ie. the sedan

    Because of AWD + performance...

    Mazda 3 interior is very, very good IMHO, having checked one out USC it does have a quality feel, would go for a new 3 sedan if available with the 2.2ltr TDi over the WRX sedan Click here to enlarge

    Could not agree more once again !

    That's what I was hoping for the 1st time around...

    I'm convinced they didn't because of 2 main reasons, they knew it would kill the MPS 6 in canabilised sales and one of the best selling segments of late has been the hot hatch market...

    The Mazda is okay in the right colour...say red ,prefer the XR5 though.
    Subaru have totally lost the plot from a design point,the new Liberty just reinforces my opinion.I have seen a sedan in the flesh and I still don`t get it. I could live with the WRX Sti hatch though but again for the money
    would be handing over the folding stuff for a BMW or Audi with lesser performance.
    Each to their own though !
