Thanks guys... gotta start looking into selling the MPS now, had a look at some stageas at Northshore prestige yesterday. They didnt have anything i liked in the showroom but they are great cars inside. Lots of space and comfort.... Any major advantages of the RWD vs AWD? I cant imagine it having any major traction problems in a RWD car. I'd be looking at the 3.5L version since that way i can get a later year model, and from what im told they are a bit nicer for driving around town. Wouldnt be doing any power mods on this car, just for looks, some sort of forged 19" wheel and suspension and thats it really.

Thanks PN-Mad, I think I saw your car which made me love the stageas! Beacon hill on wahringah Rd about a month ago? Sits real nice with awesome wheels/offset.

I have to run 98 in the MPS anyway, it's had a full custom tune flashed and tuned to run 98 only. Definitely going to need to figure in the fuel consumption, other than that, they look like a great car to own. Thanks guys!

^Yeah its fine at the moment, but once the prams in the back it leaves little room for much else. Not very good for going away in.....

Hi guys, Ive been checking out the forum over the last few weeks, I currently drive a 2010 Mazda MPS with a few bolt ons and an Ecutek tune making just over 200kw at the wheels. I've recently become a father and could really do with a bigger car, ive had a few Commodore wagons in the past but im really loving the look of a lowered M35 with some nice wheels. The only thing im a little worried about is the fuel consumption in the Stagea. I currently get an awesome 9L/100km around town or about 6.5-7L/100km on the freeway. The 6 speed and Direct Injection and 1450kg car sure help with that. Is the non turbo RWD version better on fuel? Or does it lack the torque of the turbo version so you need to use more throttle so it uses more petrol? Going to go have a look at some on the weekend..... Thanks guys.,
