Amazingly the Mazda MP3 did pretty well in the best handling car shootout where the rest of the cars included cost at least $35K (M3, Corvette, Ferrari 360, Lotus Elise, Mitsu Evo VII, Boxster S, 911T). Predictably, the Mazda came in dead last in the final tally (of course, it only costs $18.5K). But get this, according to ranking by Brayn Herta, a pro racer and CART champion, he rated it higher than BMW M3 which was last in his ranking. It also had the 2nd best slalom speed which equaled the Porsche 911T (Lotus Elise 1st). Only complaints every tester had was its lack of power (140HP) but at $18.5K it's definitely the best bang for the bucks. Slap a turbo on ($3K) and you can run with all the big boys. Has anyone ever driven it?
