winter tires + traction control + esp = modern technology miracle, you can do stuff with this you cant possibly do with awd alone
awd is nice but the MPS6's implementation isn't compelling enough to tip the scales in the favor of the large, heavy sedan.
More backseat room and cargo space... how much do you have in the MS3/MPS3 if you leave the cover on? Anything taller will start to impede your rear view.[/b]
extra points for not having to own two cars. versatility is excellent.
you do know of course that mazda engineers specifically designed the MSP3 to minimize torque steer.
and if you're really worried about safety, the STI is a better choice. it's a rally car -- built phenomenally strong and safe.
but if you really do carry your 20 month old daughter around with you, you shouldn't be driving in a way that elicits any torque steer in any car anyway.
i had my left shoulder manipulated under gas on Monday (frozen shoulder) and the Dr BROKE my arm! ...won't be driving for 6-8 weeks. :drive: Litigation???

yea someone screwed up trying to help you... instead of punishing them just make sure they cover all the costs themselves... manipulation as well as the cast...
