It is not honorable that a companies such as yours to limit access based on country in which access the website. One can claim racial discrimination! Wished to be ashamed! I'm a fan of yours and that issue made me proud! I'm totally disappointed! John P - Romania

What possible reason can you have to block me seeing the review because I am outside of U.K What the hell is the point? You do not have a TV show any more so what are you trying to protect Very frustrating...... becaiuse I loved the show and I am gutted that it is off the air so I have to rely on the web :-(

In france too.... a bit stupid. Englands' got the same ratio on public dept per unhabitant than Greece and Portugual... A good reason to open your mind and find solution...

brilliant car the Mazda 3 MPS is,faster than a VW Golf GTI,AND 2,000 POUNDS CHEAPER! But the VW Golf GTI is a lot more comfortable,and more refined. I prefer the Golf to the mazda 3 mps but the mazda is 4 GRAND CHEAPER than the garish and gastly but very good ford focus RS.But the VW Golf GTI is the best hatchback in the world (for obvious reasons).

I really like the 3 MPS, areal bargin.Its a good 40BHP up on the Golf GTI and really costs about 6K less than the GOLF GTI SPEC for SPEC. For 22.2K, the MPS comes with satnav, parking sensors metallic paint and a 10 speaker bose system as standard. The Golf costs 24.8K and does not include the above mentioned items. When you add them you add about 3K more to the price. But then, For 24.8K (Golf GTI money) I would be looking at a BMW 1 series coupe or Audi A3.......

I was lured to your website by google and then was forced to view commercial advertising while the actual content was blocked because I'm in the US. I will bill you for having to watch the commercials without being given a choice or recompense.

I've driving this car for years (old MPS). Never had a problem with torque steer, use the power to pull through corners. back end never slides. Always gets bashed by motoring journos in the UK despite the fact it's cheaper, and quicker than most hot hatches. My guess is they can't actually drive. Most track tests show under 6secs to 62MPH. Funny too that they say how great the GTI is but the mazda is cheaper and fully loaded and will give 35MPH on the motorway due to direct injection lean burn when not being driven hard. Who cares if the dash is a bit grey. It's the drive that's fun. Audi is ridiculously expensive, nearly twice the price for similar performance.
