MK3 "Option Pack" vs MK3 Sport
Discussion
Hi,
Having had a MK3 2.0 Options Pack for a few months, I'm thinking of upgrading to a MK3 2.0 Sport I've seen, mainly because it has air con, leather, heated seats and Bose, all things I'd like.
I notice it also has Bilstein suspension and bigger (17") wheels, and a six speed gearbox, and I wondered if anyone had experience of the two cars and whether there was much of a difference in the way they drive?
Cheers,
Ari

Hi
I have/had both option and sport cars. IMO the Billies are crap and you are better fitting after market suspension on your car. (Keep your car and fit suspension) Leather seats can be had seconhand for £500 fit them if you like. Wheels again buy some........
All of the above will probably be cheaper than changing your car, and the end result will be better.
Give me a call (Advice is free) I build race cars and often have seats/wheels etc available.....

Thanks for all the advice guys.
I drove the Sport spec car that I'm interested in today and it does definitely feel sharper than mine. I like the leather interior, love the seat heaters, and it had the (essential to me) air con/climate control and Bose hi fi (which sounds fantastic compared to the standard fit in my current car). Six speed gearbox is good too, just lets you drop the revs a bit on a fast cruise.
So, four months after buying my current car on the basis of "that's it, bought it to keep it", looks like I'll be changing it for this one!

t, nothing on it is worth having, fit all these aftermarket bits instead. Oh and btw, give me a call as I can supply them all to you.
Just bought a private Mk 3 for the missus. It's a one owner, 2007 True Red 2.0 Sport with leather, heated seats, aircon, Bose upgrade and 4200 miles!!! It is superb and mileage, everything checks out with Mazda HQ.
It is a superb motor and the boss loves it.
Go for it.....you will not be disappointed and the insurance companies will not give you grief about after market add-ons.

Oh.... and don't forget the LSD the Option Pack won't have.
That'd be the LSD that the 2.0 Option Pack and 2.0 Sport have as standard will it..?
