Servicing for the derv Fiesta was about £200, the MPS is about £220, factor in 8 years inflation, guess it's about the same. Could have changed though, is an Focus ST/RS much less than £200 for a service? I don't know, never asked.kingofdbrits wrote:Compare Mazda with ford seeing as they are the same company and use a lot of common parts....mjhamilton wrote:You're talking poo poo.

It's not like you can even laugh at the constant use of the Wankel in discussion about this rebadged Focus with a higher price tag and running cost![]()
There.. I said it :chug:
So back to the questions -
tell me what were the running costs when you ran a MPS?
what sort of miles did you do in the MPS when you suffered from backache?
How similar did you find the MPS thats just a rebdaged Focus, examples of what they have in common?
Let's not even touch parts prices
Also, most of the common parts are the bits you don't change, the brakes are different (slightly, enough so they won't fit anyway).
