Hey peoples,

I'd had a look at my work college's SP23, the Styling on it is good, (i like the fact that you can chose different Tail light ;) ). But that is the only thing thats going for it... :P

i test drove an SP23 as well. nearly bought one coz i got fed up waiting for my sportivo. i think they are in a different sort of category. its more a sportier cruiser and more refinement. its a nice drive tho. but i wouldn't say its as big a rush to drive than the sportivo. dun really need to go too fast to have fun. it's more warm than hot, in my opinion.

sp23 more refined.... there wass heaps more noise driving down the highway ad semi legal speeds from the mazda (im talking nvh levels here) than the sportivo.... the toyota had a ton more refinement in the drive feel and nvh.

the mazda was more of a tourqe machine though... and i hate to admit it the brakes felt better

aaah ok. i didn't mean nvh there. i think i meant more like its less frantic in that sense. but i feel that for both cars, the presence of the engine can really be felt. its not like some cars where u are not even sure that u have even stalled it or not unless u look at the flashing lights and all.
