All well and good except for a few very obvious facts. Number one, the goddamn thing has a six speed manual transmission. No one I know who is into luxury considers shifting 5 times on their way to a 40 mph cruise luxurious. Number two, the suspension is great and relatively quiet unless you...

I am starting to feel this way. They certainly offer piss poor service to the owners of their top of the line vehicles... What I want to know is what kind of stupid ******* moron car company puts a big engine in a car and then pretends no one should be driving it hard?? If I wanna drive like...

I have one completely new if you want it...

Thanks for posting that quick grave, I will take it in and argue my point. So I had a complete power loss the other day when accelerating but it was different from the shuddering. Its strange when it occurs too. Typically the car is very sketchy in performance, but on the good days, ie the...

Well, I'm getting the shuddering again. GODDAMN MAZDA!!! I don't even come close to driving this piece of s*** hard..

I had this shuddering problem. I have frequent power loss occurring with my vehicle. The shuddering behavior began to appear during power loss. The check engine light eventually came on. I called up Mazda service, they fixed it. They said it was some kind of vaccum release valve that was...

Howdy. I'm interested in properly cooling my goddamn mazdaspeed 6 so that I can love it again... I was looking at this thing: http://www.atpturbo.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=ATP-INT-003&Category_Code=INT Is it possible that one could make use of this device or another...

the OBD II is listed online in regards to my MSP 6. The other issue isn't.

HI, I agree with you, the CPE looks a heck of a lot more solid. And it works great. I know a few other activities that will break seats... *cough*

Aside from the taillights I think its gorgeous. Great looking car IMO. A nice evolution of the current vehicle. I don't know what the deal is with expressive taillights... there isn't really much about a bumper and a trunk that makes me think dynamism.

Never ever ever take a care you value to Jiffy Lube. Thats my contribution to this thread, take care ya'll!

How long will Protege Garage be offering this upgrade? Is this a good idea even if one plans on using the 3071 turbo rather than the 3076? This engine thing may be a good way to spend some of my Christmas bonus... (birthday)

Yeah actually, the 135i is very nice. Small but nice.

If I'm going to jump into S60R price territory I'd probably be thinking something other than Volvo. As others mentioned if you put the difference into tuning the Mazda you end up with a car that blows the S60R out of the water. The only thing you can argue is that the S60R looks better...

I think a similar issue regarding mislabeled or old gas occurred with me.
