2006 Mazda Mazdaspeed 6 Grand Touring 4dr Sport Sedan AWD (2.3L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

Replaced a 2001 BMW 325. Shopped BMW 325, Acura TSX, Jetta GLI, Volvo S40, Lexus IS250, and Saab 9-3. From a performance standpoint the MS6 blows the doors off the the other cars I shopped. The only one in the same performance league is the BMW. In terms of fit and finish the MS6 was barely better than only the Saab and Volvo. The engine is wonderful and pulls strong as long as the revs stay above 3k. Braking is phenomenal and the DSC does an excellent job of keeping the driver in control during wet weather. The car turns like it's on rails. Test drove a GT package but decided on sport model for one main reason -- leather seats in GT model do not have high enough side bolsters.
Great Car, but not for Everyone

The handling of this car is remarkable. You won't find better without buying a much higher priced, German sedan. The ride can be a bit stiff and as many have mentioned. The clutch certainly takes some getting used to but overall, buyers willing to spend an extra 3k on this particular drive-train probably expect it. I've had my Speed 6 for six months now and all I can say is, wow! It is everything I hoped it would be. A reliable and reasonably economical commuter capable of raising hell on weekends (Tail of the Dragon & no tickets, yeah!). If you want a grown up car that outperforms most V8 coupes without the hefty price and bad mileage, this is your car.

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.
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.
Excellent car for the money

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.
