Engine is Based on same family as mazda6, however is greatly improved. Diesel Is different, and XR5 Turbo has similar setup to Focus XR5 turbo. . Pity on Ford not using the Mazda 6 diesel, they were released just as I left the Mazda dealership but a work mate bought one, awesome bit of gear, maybe the Ford 6 speed auto might get back the 9kw and 40nm difference on the road. Did they give the Mazda 2.3L a different tune?, they f**k the Mazda 6 for outright performance when they went to 6 speed and electronic throttle, in manual form the old 5 speed was a weapon, to easy to loose traction in the dry if the owner drove them spirited all the time, also had more than a few complain the 5 speed got better fuel economy and we could not find any faults to be causing this. (Owners that just updated models all the time) You really have to take a Mazda 6 MPS AWD for a run, I would own one tomorrow if I had the money and they came out in a wagon, on special testing grounds 0-235 back to 0 is awesome, feels very stable, and this was from a Mazda Road show car that wasn't running right and had been flogged way beyond what I did. I wouldn't do that in any RX8 I drove, I never felt secure over 160km.

yeah it is. Also i have checked. The Zetec/TDCi/XR5 is definately mp3 compatible, and i'd bet my left nut the LX is also as well.
