59 plate Sport FINALLY HERE! :D

[angelos]

Really nice, I'm so jealous of the new sport!!!! The only thing I don't like on the sport is the the seats color! TS2 trim looks better

[screwball]

looks good wait till you got about 3000 miles on the clock the car just seems to come alive we have a c4 picaso as are family car so it's great to get out in the m2 love driving it around all those country lanes but also very good on motorway so enjoy enjoy enjoy

[mld81]

i have only done 2300 in mine so far so i should have something extra to look forward to then

Enjoying it! Done 120 miles in it so far. Been playing with cruise control which is great! I love it  cant wait to use it on a long motorway journey!

Been driving slightly faster too putting about 5k revs on in second it sounds great and very nippy! I know I should wait before giving it full throttle and everything but its just so tempting! Going to go for some nice drives at the weekends to get some mileage on it! Taking it for a spin next weekend with a mate and will get some more photos of it too!

Great innit!!!!

Done 140 miles in mine so far, with the odd fairly rapid acceleration thrown in every now and again without going mad...and she really does climp the speedo quite rapidly, and without fuss!

Well I say without fuss, the Sebring exhaust makes a lovely sound as you climb the revs.

But I'm holding back a bit for the engine to break in, I'm surprised how this engine sounds like it's really going when there's loads left to go on the rev counter. It's very tempting to go mad, and I'm always concerned about overdoing it.

I've been assured by Mazda that there's little to worry about in terms of breaking in, it might make ever so slight difference and be just generally healthy to give it some time, but otherwise you could track it from new and not really worry too much.

Modern engines eh?

Oh and the Sebring exhaust is already sounding different to how it sounded on pickup day, I geuss it's coking up a tad already.

I am VERY happy with my "el Torro blanco"...so happy I feel like going back out right now.

I've got up close and personal and given her the first clean (she's white, and the rains recently didn't have dirty it).

Mazda 2 for the win. lol

Just took it to 6k rpm in second... oopsy! Just had some fun driving around town, was dropping someone off and a bit early so just drove around and loving it! Really like the sound system as well, got bass on +3 and everything else on standard and it sounds damn good! Only put it up to 60 volume so far but thats damn loud as it is!

[duffman]

Few more pics coming in a bit, took it to the seaside today and got a few snaps. Got a bit dirty though with all the flies getting in its grill so had to give it a little clean!

[duffman]

A few pics with my mates Astra VXR in there too!

Glad you're enjoying it. I got my white '59 plate Sport last weekend and loving it! It does sound very loud roundabout 4k revs and above, and at first i was shying away from giving it a bit of welly, but now I'm making it work a little bit and the rewards are plentiful!

Already given it it's first full clean and it was a pleasure - I'm sure the novelty of the wash and polish will wear off after a few months though!

Ye im the same with cleaning, lasts a few months then slowly dwindles off a little. Just wish i had a car to clean though, not got mine yet.

Got lots of accessories though waiting to go in lol, including cleaning products ive never used before like ice wax polish, from the reviews it goes on streak free and looks sooo easy to use.

All new products bought as i never cleaned my current car after the first few months and had it 8 years.

Someone parked a black Mazda2 Sport next to mine in the carpark so thought id get some pics of them together! Didnt see the owner though! (ps quality is a bit poor these were from my phone)

I've been using Autoglym Bodywork Shampoo Conditioner followed by Autoglym Super Resin Polish... the two together seem to work a treat and I got it from super mucky and covered in insect juice to showroom shiny in about an hour and a half. I never 'got' waxing/polishing cars before, but now I seem to be on the verge of obsessive. 

Duffman, nice pair of Sports there! I've only come across 1 other Sport driver here in Dundee... and they've got the same white colour as I do  A little embarrasing, to be honest, when we pass each other.

Another recommendation for Autoglym Super Resin Polish, very easy to use and produces a superb finish.  For insect removal try the Active Insect Remover:

I have also invested in Perfect Polishing Cloths and a Hi-Tech Finishing Cloth, all are washable so can be used again and again:
