Yep, #355, amen to that. From my point of view it needs to be competitive with the MPS3.

The way I see it, the awesomeness of that engine is matched by the "complete package" thing of the CTR. However if it starts costing 5-10k more then forget about it. Mazdas have awesome build quality as well and they arranged the performance driving day which I'm not about to forget.

Mazda on average is the top #1 brand for quality, followed closely by Honda. The gap to Toyota in 3rd is huge. Ford etc are waaay down on the list.
