Yeah, I was pretty psyched about that as well - as long as it's not based on the US Focus (yuk). I picked the MZ3 out of a Toyota Carolla RSX, Civic Si, Jetta, and PT Cruiser GT.
I really like it a lot. It came with 205/50R17 wheels but I got some 225/40R18 tires and black alloys and it really looks good. Once the windows are tinted, it'll look better. I also custom built an amplifier rack (

pic2 ) into the hatch floor, so I have some nice tunes as well. :)
I was going to wait until the 'speed 3 came out, but it was taking too long. Besides there is a turbo kit that is made specially for the 3 that some people are getting good numbers with (~250-350HP depending on boost level). It goes pretty good at stock, while getting halfway decent gas mileage in these days of high fuel prices.
