I got my MAZDASPEED 1 month ago now. I have to say this car is amazing. It's fast, responsive, and luxurious. It gets good gas mileage for a car this powerful. It has stunning looks IMO. Not too loud but just a clean look. The gear box is a joy to operate. The Bose sound system while not amazing is still better than most factory stereos. This car already is getting some decent aftermarket support. Given time I think there should be more then enough products to choose from. Bottom line, if you want a car with a little less power than an Evo or STi but still want some luxury, this is the car for you.
A Japanese Rocketship!
Currently a Honda fanatic - but I wanted AWD performance in a sedan and Honda has stayed away from manual transmission AWD sedans. So as I looked for years at used Porsche Carrera 4's (pricey!) and tried to convince my wife that a third or four car in the driveway was "OK" (what was I thinking), along comes Mazda with a magnificent AWD sports sedan. Forget the Porsche, and the need for more than two cars! I have traded in my Honda Accord (a great car) and have two baby seats in the back of this Japanese rocket ship. Took delivery with zero defects! No problems to date. This is my first Mazda; hats off to the Mazda engineering team and executives to price this lower than Audi & BMW!

Worth Every Penny
I recently picked up my liquid platinum speed 6 GT and I am happy to say that this car is amazing. The turbocharged 4 cylinder engine feels like it's got a v6. The look is sleek and fast yet doesn't shout fast and furious boy racer. It is tastefully designed and carefully engineered. The 6 speed manual transmission is a joy to drive and the awd just adds to the fun. This car has the practicality of an Accord with the fun to drive factor of a Mustang. I highly recommend this car.
Clutch problems
I love my car love the way it drives, but it's a different story when you start talking reliability. I had the clutch burn up 2000 miles after I bought it used at 11k. They replaced it around 14k under warranty. But now it's going out again after 5500 miles. They are refusing to cover it again without even looking at it. Not a fan of legacy Mazda in provo.
New MPS6
The car has tons of bottom end/mid-range power but lacks oomph above 5500 rpm. That's the trade off you get with a turbocharged vehicle, it's one or the other. The performance and handling is very similar to the 350Z I had, except it's faster off the corners due to the AWD. The trade off there is it's not as much fun as a RWD car. Very comfortable and well designed on the inside.
