4) 0 tuning potential at the time

Granted I assume the speed6 doesn't have problems 1 or 2... but man I hated my Ms3.
I think all of that is still true except 4. I've seen some pretty fast ones. Horrible car to drive, I've spent a fair amount of time with both generations of MS3.
Beyond me how anyone with more than 5 mins of reasearch would buy this crap over a well built car like a GTI... i did 2 mins if research at the time.
And I have a GTI, let's talk next time.
I have an M2C... my fwd experiences have been over for close to 10 years... thank god.
