The laid back, more mature Evo/STi

The Mazdaspeed6 has left me with a bittersweet taste. On one hand, I love driving it, as it's proven to be an extremely fun car to drive. It's mileage has been really good for a turbo (22/twn, 28/hwy). With 06 being the release year, there have been very hit-or-miss findings of problems. There exists a "shudder" that most 06 MS6 owners experience that doesn't go away, nor does Mazda have an explanation for it. The stock clutch is extremely tricky to learn. Overall tho, with all the bad, I still love my MS6. For what it is, it's a GREAT car if you're looking for similar performance to the Evo or STi, but without all the extra hoopla that screams look-at-me. A true sleeper by definition.

Bought this car 4 weeks ago and I have to tell you that besides the great car it is I also got it for a great price. Quality, performance, organization, logistics, and style are top notch. And many thousands less than a BMW or an Audi. Do yourself a favor and check this car out.

PROS-DISI, turbo, tuned suspension. I used to own a Mazda6i, but this car is completely different. CONS -- would like to have a bit louder blow off valve. Not a full time all wheel drive. Gas mileage took a hit, but that is expected. Clutch is not the smoothest and will take time to get use to. Comes with performance tires so need to change out tires when winter hits. Overal -- can't beat the price for all the performance and comfort this car entails.

Awesome Sports Sedan

I was looking at several performance cars, including the RX-8, Mustang, and even GTO, but this car truly surprised me. I had a Mazda3 and have always enjoyed it and thought why not give it a shot. Holy Cow! This thing could go. The handling is awesome, nothing could compare, the ride was quiet, and the acceleration surprising. I test drove it three times just to make sure, and with all the options (sunroof, leather, nav system, etc.) nothing else I looked at compared. It's practical, but sporty. The styling is great, and the inside is on par with other luxury vehicles. This is my 3rd Mazda, so I trust the brand. If you want a sport sedan, check this one out, it will surprise you.

Mazda put the Zoom Zoom into a sedan

Well, I just purchased this Speed6 and it is a trip to drive. It has incredible pick up. I used to drive a '95 Jetta, and it’s not nearly as gaudy as those racerboy Evo's and STi's. However, there is more to it than horsepower and torque. It looks good, the white exterior and black and white leather inside look stunning, in fact, today I was walking past a gentleman who had parked next to me in a parking lot, and he, talking to his daughter said, "man that’s a nice Mazda." It is everything I wanted, powerful, fun to drive, and great looking. All this while maintaining the sleeper look that makes me like it so much.
