Anyone driven a 225 Cup? Now that is a slick hothatch

Hey!!!! I have a MOTOR mag subscription ok!!!! ha ha.

I drove a 2year old Clio sport a couple of weeks ago. Man that was fun! Handled pretty well too. 225 Cup hmmmm.. didn't think of that.

You're not the only one! The most overlooked performance car of the decade.

Except the rear end on the Megane is a BADONKADONK!!

It puts out 190kw, whatever that is at the wheels I dunno. MPS looks too tame, doesn't look a lot different to a standard Mazda 6. Also it isn't a hatch as such and is priced from $48,600.

i think he is talking about the mazda3 mps not the mazda6 mps awd car.

VXR drivers are the only ones who'll see the back though

Nah I was talking about the Mazda6 MPS AWD but forgot about the Mazda 3 MPS. The 3 MPS definately looks better than the 6 MPS, but still not as aggressive as the VXR.

That aside.

Wouldn't you rather fork out some extra dollars for the GTI?

Nope. The GTi is a nice car, but I'd take the extra power and speed of the XR5, and its looks, over the Golf. Plus, I could cope without leather in the XR5, but not in the Golf - not a fan of tartan...

The tartan sux i know. But the two door GTI (when we get it) is a lot sexier. And doesn't have the dreaded blue oval badge.

Did you know that FORD is an acronym for Fix Or Repair Daily..

haha.
