mazda3 or mazda6

[soccrstar]

yes, i kn0 they r different classes but they both come with complete different package options

now why doesnt the mazda6 have V6 option...
why doesnt mazda6 have all the options mazda3 have such has xenon package, MP3 Player!!, Navigation, n all other stuff
yet the mazda6 suppose to compete against accord n all them other cars, not with lack of packaging.
i'm thinkin' bout gettin' the mazda6 but than i saw packages for mazda3 n i'm like i rather the 3 only for packagin, but too small for my needs. they way this is goin' i rather than a '04 accord wit nav n mp3 player n all da goodies and its bigger n more roomier.

now what was mazda thinking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

V6 wouldn't easily fit in the 3.

Most small cars don't come with a V6 option.

the 6 doesn't have the extra goodies because it's built in USA, where the plant doesn't have the capability to install them yet.

the 3 is still made in Japan, as all Proteges/323s were

ok, that sux, choice is mazda6 or accord EX-V6 w/ navigation 4dr
i'm leanin' more towards accord because of the options that it has that mazda6 lacks bigtime.

but than again i dont plan on buyin' a new car for notha 4 months or so, once i settle down my finances n c whats up since i already pay 275/month for my 01 acord, da mazda will b double dat
who kn0ws wat insurance will b on this since i'm at step 17 (chair)
sux 4 me eh, dam state cops

well ne1 kn0 when mazda6 will have all the mazda3 options.

i really love the mazda6 strictly because of the way it drives, handles, and the sport shifter

i almost blew my accords transmission by manually shiftin' it, check engine light went on.

i love hondas, but i dont know wtf honda was thinking with the styling of the new accords, especially the sedan. the coupe is aight, but the sedan looks like a big fat ass POS. the 6 looks way better than the accord.
i guess if you prefer driving an anonymous looking blandmobile becasue it has an mp3 player and navigation system, the go ahead. its your money.

I've talked to several Mazda guys and the 2005 Mazda 6 will come with a lot more goodies. I believe 2004 was the year of transiton and the 6 was kind of left out when they were deciding what to do.

I looked hard at the 6 but just bought a 3

Is it a suprise the 6 isn't selling well? The car lots of full of 6's and they are offering $1,500 rebates. The lots are also very empty with 3's and getting close to MSRP. Some 3's are selling before they even hit the dealer property.

It's always about supply and demand

JUST WAIT... over the next 2 years .. Mazda will release the speed versions of alot of there vehicles.. and not to mention the rx 7 is comming back...

 

[sam1]

yep, mazdaspeed 3. ohh, thatll be tight. but, i had a 3s for a couple weeks and i loved it. it handled well, had some good zoom to it, decent stereo and awesome options. but it still doesnt drive and feel like my protege. id have to say the pro is the best car ive ever driven, and ive driven everything from lexus' to dumptrucks.

Why would you want a V6 option in the Mazda 3, no other car in it's class has a V6 option. Where do you come from?

I would love to find a scrapped Mazda millenia and put that 2.3 liter V6 which is not really big with tranny. But that would cost a bull s*** amount of money on new everything almost. suspension, exhaust, reinforce the chasis and I'd probably want to convert to RWD so new tranny too.

The Mazda millenia V6's had 210 horses and imagine adding a turbo and a lot of other stuff if that engine was in the Mazda 3.
