Not surprising. Mazda has a pretty solid new lineup, the 2s are an excellent car. Not much power but still very fun to drive and practical too.

I'm just hanging out for the (hopefully) new 3 and 6 MPS. With how the new models currently look I think they'll be pretty neat.

The new RX7 will be epic too, and there's pretty strong talk of an RX9 with a mid engine setup..

The new MX5 will be awesome too if we get get the option of the 2.0 over here. The smaller motor will be here to underprice the Toyota 86 but we might get both options.

Then there's already the new diesel M6, that thing is a fking awesome car to drive.

MPS3 is likely to be AWD too finally ;)

This model wouldn't have been out yet? Admittedly only so much can change I suppose.

True, yeah realise that .. I meant at the time so in 2013 ..

Have seen the upgrades they did to the equipment in the 2014 Swift, and was kicking myself.. :'(

:lol: ... But yeah, you get that.. Am still happy with the car, for what it is... All the comfort, and the styling is pretty much the same, just a few extra's like GPS and touch screen .. But I put my own in, which is much better anyways...

Yeah I find the swift to be a bit more comfortable for whatever reason..
But the 2 is bulletproof, have heaps at work at 500,000km+

That's pretty impressive. Someone should boost one. :lol:

I quite like the look of some of them too. Lowered with some nice rims and they'd be mint.

Eh... I'm very excited for Mazda's new rotory they're coming out with... but talk of the Supra being brought back as well as Ford's mustang coming to Australia has got me hyped, with so many decisions!!! Ford isn't Japanese though ahaha, but still. New Rx7, possible Rx9 and Supra to be released...? What's not to be excited about... Next 6 years are full of possibilities!

Actually we have a lot of awesome stuff at the moment... all the MPS range.

And even the new turbo-diesel Mazda 6 is a fking monster! Got to drive one form our dealership to the training centre a few weeks ago... very fun to drive but also really comfortable.

I think I read on the specs some interesting stuff. You lose like 20kw over the petrol engine, but it has like 400nm of torque. 8O

Yeah I never pegged a 6 to be a brilliantly fast car, but it really does look like quite a fun ride and pretty practical too.

The diesel 6 is very fast surprisingly. And the MPS is a fking monster.

I don't flog customer cars. If something happens we can check everything on our datalogger on the scan tool. How far open the throttle is, brake pedal force, etc. so not worth it.

Plus, not my car so not my car to thrash.
