Looks good on paper

This is a great alternative to the Evo and Sti on paper. However with the lack of drivetrain/engine testing by mazda, virtually no aftermarket parts available, terrible resale value, and awful customer service, this car was truly a bust. The clutch is hard to drive with it's abnormally high engagement point, though there was a recent techinacal service bulletin to fix it.

As a car enthusiast, I wanted a performance car with adult looks. The Speed6 delivers without the ticket-me-now air scoop and teenage styling cues found on the Mitsu Evo and Subaru WRX. The Speed6 is understated style, with great looks and awesome handling. Assembled in Japan, build quality is excellent. The Speed6 is even-tempered, providing ample feedback as you approach the limits. Turbo lag is noticeable but predictable. One minor complaint is that the RWD kicks in roughly in certain gears. For family outings, it has solid road feel with ample space for my wife and daughter. I bought my 2006 in February 2007. Pick one up while you can.

This car is one of the few cars that really feels like it gets lighter and more agile the harder you drive it. Under normal driving circumstances, it seems heavy and sluggish, almost annoyingly so. When you push it, it just keeps getting better. Overall, a very enjoyable car and definitely a steal if you can get some discounts/rebates, as I did. My previous car was an RX-8 and this car pales in comparison, but the car before that was a WRX and this car is much more enjoyable. The AWD works great in the snow with a decent set of all seasons on it. Don't waste your time trying to negotiate snowy roads on the summer tires. Plenty of room for my growing family.

This car is driven in southern Germany, and I'm lucky enought to scale a mountain road in it every day to and from work. It's absolutely in its element there, and enormously satisfying to drive fast. Autobahns are no problem, as it seems happiest above 100mph. I have to agree with the gripes about the clutch - I've never had this much difficulty driving a vehicle smoothly. When you get it right, it's awesome. If not, it can be embarrassing and frustrating. I miss the linearity in acceleration of non-turbo performance engines, but this thing pulls like a V-8 under full throttle and is truly impressive. Clean the stock wheels and they look nice, it's just a nightmare to keep them that way.
Awesome car! Unbelievable Bang for Buck!

The car handles amazing and the price is great for what you're getting. The Bose stereo is pretty good. Amazing power... you would never think that this is a 4. More power than most 6 cyls. The paint quality on my Speed6 is suspect. Ice slid off my car during the winter, leaving several scratches on the trunk. Now that's cheap paint. Also, although the foldaway design of nav is excellent, it is not intuitive at all, much better in Honda and Nissan. Can't use nav when driving even though remote was made for passenger to use. The car drinks gas but its to be expected with this much power.
