Expected you to be more surprised about the torquesteer! Your footwork is impressive. The car has nice tires, it dosen't squeal and the car seems flat while cornering.
I am quite used to torque steer, so have learnt how to adjust to it. The main issue is how to put the power down - maybe a bit lower tune could have made the car a little faster.
Thank Mr Phillip and thank ys Kong for that awesome drive.. 😍Well after watching this video I think I'm fall in love with mazda mps! With that huge torque climbing genting is like driving in a flat road! No stress at all for the engine to handle.. By the way how much the market price nowadays? 👍👍👍
Prices range between 60k to 100k depending on the condition and the mods. I just sold mine a couple months back and is now feeling the regret after watching this video.
RM90,000 will get u a stock color/interior/body 2012 MPS3 300hp/470Nm@1.2bar with all the engine issues iron out and comes with engine service/rebuild history. HPFP upgrade TMi upgrade BPV upgrade Injector seals upgrade 4pot calipers upgrade downpipe solid RMM solid shifter mounts balance shaft delete cat-con delete EGR delete adjustable shocks U probably might get a spare block+head free if u get a right owner. Gud luck on your quest.

The GTi is not as powerful, and is more refined whilst the MPS is raw ppwer, and the fact that it is manual males it more appealing. Car makers should consider more manuals for sporty models.
If u want attention, recognition, status symbol ... u better get a Golf GTi. Everyone wud think u are in a 1.6 Mazda3 GL and you'll get bully by poverty spec Mercedes/VW/BMW/Audi and Civic1.5T owners Mazda3 MPS gives u none of the above but smiles for miles and 99% you'll get a pass at JPJ/PDRM roadblock.
I wish they designed turbo cars to have their own separate oil reservoir, cooler and pumps. The turbo heats up the oil and destroys it and the engine gets this heated up oil.
High torque 2008 direct injection turbo engine have a high risk of premature gasoline detonation when spirited driving if u don't blip when down shift. Might as well do it even when u are using RON100 fuel.
@@YSKhongDriving its actually a Ford engine that Mazda worked together to produce but the 2.3 was already in use with older gen mazda 3's so the engineers thought a turbo would be the solution for its new hot hatch sport car lol
One of the best looking hatchbacks in my opinion
Once you adapt to the steering it’s on…love my turbo bucket.
Been waiting for this
Thanx for the cam on the footwork…great content all together…
will keep my MPS for sure after watching this
The heel n toe ie great to watch. Very educational. Thanks Master YS Khong.

Foot box screen👍🏽
Turbo lag n torque steer a challenging combo but hor sifu drive wor

Nice drive uncle!!. Between this and vw gti which one more fun to drive, more power and hold the value?

Hi Uncle, sorry about this stupid question... but what shoes brand/model is that? look nice
They are a brand called Polo.
Need for Speed in action
Amazing drive!!!
finally... thanks u uncle
I wish they designed turbo cars to have their own separate oil reservoir, cooler and pumps. The turbo heats up the oil and destroys it and the engine gets this heated up oil.
Agreed.
U want to invest in a dry sump? Go ahead if money no object
uncle does this car use ron95 or ron97? i really like this car
No idea.
Lovely car.
rhd speed3 is awesome
Hi wish you could drive a perdana evo up genting
Dont have arh a chart for fastest uphill n downhill drive?
We are not about speed, so there is no chart.
why blip the throttle when the car jerks so much letting off the clutch?
with these turbo cars the throttle response isn't as good which is why he has to blip it even after rev matching.
Blipping the throttle is rev matching. The clutch is a competition clutch.
High torque 2008 direct injection turbo engine have a high risk of premature gasoline detonation when spirited driving if u don't blip when down shift.
Might as well do it even when u are using RON100 fuel.
Would love to see you take a C63 AMG up the mountain
Hahaha, me too!
Mak ai .... C63 terus! ..... itu level kayangan bro😂
why are your shoes on the wrong feet?
LOL - it's the optical illusion caused by the wide angle lens. I had to switch to wide angle because of the tight confines in tbe footwell.
I was noticing the same thing 😂. Nice driving.
Any chance sifu to drive car with over 1000 hps?🤔😅
Zero.
this car look like handling not so easy or smooth
It has a lot of power, but was designed a long time ago.
I think it's affordable sport car but the engine kinda urgghhh.. 2.3 whyyyy???
This is an older Mazda engine
@@YSKhongDriving its actually a Ford engine that Mazda worked together to produce but the 2.3 was already in use with older gen mazda 3's so the engineers thought a turbo would be the solution for its new hot hatch sport car lol
U can also find that engine in a high spec CX7/Mazda5 but it's detune+AT.
Mazda3 MPS gets u a fwd 6MT
Mazda6 MPS gets u a 4wd 6MT
Hope uncle will make a Genting run video with your golf r
Already done
What do you expect from Japanese cars...Longevity
True, very true!
Need a lot of work to make that MPS engine reliable
