I love my Mazdaspeed 6!

lol, I am just saying....if I could just change a few little things I would. It's not the Perfect car of all cars, but it's a damn good one and the best one I've owned and driven (for the cost)over the years.

Lol indeed. My gripes are the clutch, it could be a bit more forgiving..and the fall off in power towards the upper RPM. What I do like, this car is simple to look at(mostly), well made comfortable and cabable. I love sleeper type vehicles and this one is almost the perfect example, and makeing a BMW wonder what the crap just happend after a jaunt in the twisties, makes me :D

I hated the clutch initially, but now I don't mind it. I actually kinda like it as it is the only reason I am driving the MS6 rather than the MSP. The MS6 was to be the wife's car (bigger for all the kids she carts around), but she hated the clutch so she opted for the smaller MSP and left me to the bigger, more powerful MS6. Damn, I hate it when that happens.

Actually, I have to remind myself when I do drive the MSP that the clutch is NOT broken, but just that the take-up is so drastically different than the MS6 that I have to re-adjust my driving style each time I switch cars...LOL.

I dont get all the clutch complaints. Every car that I have drivin the clutch has been different from the next. I like this clutch better then some of the others, at least it has a spot on point of engagement. Once you memorize it this manual is tight.(drive)

Every shop around here tells me it's not a problem to get rims, I'm assuming you want steel ones right?

i just notice that the front end of the ms6 and the cx-7 look similar!!

I thought the car handled awesome until... I tried to keep up on an auto-x track. Now don't get me wrong I LOVE THIS CAR, and it handles just fine on the road. I think the only place that Mazda fell short is in the handling department.

You know what's weird, is that with all the critics complaining about the suspension on this car, it took me over a month to realize what they were talking about -- first time I threw it around a corner. It exponentially has a more "floaty" feel the harder you push it. It's not that it's unstable, it's just that it's much less responsive at high speed than I would've expected.

And BTW, every day I get in this car I LOVE it!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!! I've had mine for five months now and love it more every day.
