The Best Made Mazda Ever. — High performance, superior handling with 4WD. As Mr. Clarkson stated in TopGear: "The Mazda is the other way around, not even remotely interesting to behold but when you turn the key and go for a drive it’s . . . it’s . . . it’s just amazing. " :)

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

The Best — The Mazda 6 MPS is all round the perfect car for the average male driver. It is practical , spacious, sporty and most importantly rare. It is a dream to drive, the power is good and the handling superb. No body will know what you are driving so you dont look like any particular owner stereotype. 2.3 L Turbo V6 0-60 time. 5.5 - 6.5 seconds

Jerky clutch and throttle.

Good Car For A Family Who Want To Have Some Fun Now And Then. — With a turbocharged four cylinder with 280 HP and AWD, this car is great performance all around. Never needed any major repairs, and since it is a Mazda, it has low maintenance costs. It is even good on gas mileage, and is great at the autocross.

Weight

Time To Time I Get The Urge For Something Else, But I Simply Can't. For The Price, This Is It. — Performance: I often forget how capable the car is. Only until I drive someone else's car, do I realize that the MS6 is incredibly stable at high speeds, has loads of grip, and is a perfect balance between performance and comfort. The only drawback, it's weight, which means one thing, MORE POWER! Build Quality: No issues other than the clutch replacement in warranty, and the good ol smoking turbo. YAY! Appearance: Perfect. I love the way this car looks. In another 3 years, when I get back to Washington, she will look even better against the green backdrop of the Northwest. Cost of Ownership: 22 mpg is alright on premium fuel for the performance. Fun factor: I drive it like a grandma most of the time. Once I perform some more upgrades, I will really run her.

Nothing, except maybe the cost of fuel, if you're a lead foot.

Balanced, In Every Way. — Ridiculous performance. Even with AWD and dynamic stability control it still wants to break traction and can give a little bit of power oversteer in the wet. Appearance? Well these things are always subjective, but I think it's sex on wheels. Can quite easily get over 500km out of the 65Lt tank, but when you start putting your foot down and using all the 190kw it can chew the juice pretty quick. Fun to drive? Whadda you reckon? It's the perfect balance of luxury and performance and will give a LOT of cars a run for their money.

Awd, 6 Speed & Turbo — Great family car with BOOST, Classy & sporty styling. The AWD 6 speed drivetrain makes for a great platform along side the 2.3 DIZI Turbo powerplant. Decent aftermarket support & plently of mid level performance capabilities. Good handling car out the box, Great interior layout.

Mazdaspeed 6 Thumbs Up :) — I love this car, it's very well built. Very powerful, 280 horses and doesnt feel like it, although it does need better brakes, and tires dont last very long either if u use it as a daily driver. But other than that it's great :)

Fun By Jdebbas

This car handles better than any car I've driven. Makes my dad's 3 series feel soft. Very fun to drive fast, but even better up in the hills. I am 6'3'' and I fit great. Still has room for the car sea... Read More

Great Drivers Car! By Jdebbas

If you like to drive, this is the perfect car. Great torque power in all six gears. It's very fast and comfortable, but it really shines on a twisty road. Handling and steering are near perfect. Only ... Read More
