Maybe I'm expecting too much from a 2.0 Litre engine, but saying this I find my Mazda 323 Astina which is automatic seems to have more power.

The dealer suggested that the car is still quite tight and will improve once it reaches over 1000kms. Is this true?

I'm looking at purchasing a "Frozen White" Titanium with the Sports Pack as my weekday car.

Cheers,

Have you looked at the TDCi model? By all account, everyone says it's the better of the two available in the Titanium?
