Mazdaspeed 6 UPDATE + Check pg 5 for detailed PICS!

[midnighter]

To me it feels the same position as both the 3 and the 6, but I believe the seats might be height-adjustable... how tall are you? I've found all the shifters and actually the whole layout of the car is in the perfect position for me. Probably one of the reasons I like the cars so much. I'm 5'11"

How high is the shifter? I ask because the ones on the normal 3's and 6's are just too high for my liking. I love the one in the 2003.5 speed. Compare?

Not as high as my wife's old Protege, but definitely higher than the 2003.5 MSP.

I'm 6'1", but I still find the car a good fit. I tend to like my driving compartment to be tight though. I like everything real close....somewhat like driving a go-kart.

that's pretty damn sweet!! does this car also have bluetooth capability?

Not that I know of. That would be kick-ass wouldn't it? I'll check through the manual tomorrow, but I don't think it does.

Silver MS6

Just thought I'd post up a couple pics of the silver MS6 my parents recieved yesterday. I havent had a chance to drive it yet, but to quote my dad, 'it goes like a bullet'. Pics might be huge. I'll try to get more from the rents today.

some side sills would do that car some good.

Hey, that car is only 2 hrs away from me... and I'm driving through there in 5 hrs... hmm..

They probably have a couple at the dealer still if you wanted to stop by and see one. I can't gaurantee it tho, as I'm not there.

 

[LRHK]

Oh? The dealer in Kamloops doesn't have one yet, stopped by on Friday...

 

['Sploder]

That's surprising. Probably sometime this week then. My parents recieved it yesterday.

 

[LRHK]

Ah, well i'm off to the kootenays today for a month, so won't be near any dealerships... oh well, will have to wait.

Key card in your pocket. Walk up to car, press "request" button. If key card in range, doors open. Depending on number of presses of request button, driver's door, all doors, all doors and trunk, or all windows open.

Can also open windows remotely from outside of car with key card. You might be able to remote start as well, but I haven't read that part of the manual yet.

Sit in car with key card. Turn start knob. If key card in range, car starts. If not then nada. If you take your car to valet parking, take start knob cover off. Give valet special valet key. Different from emergency master key kept within key card. Valet key can only open driver's door and start car. Valet key cannot open trunk or glove box.

If key car left in car and person walks away doors do not automatically lock, but after certain time period key car deactivates itself so that car is then immobilzed with that particular key card. It will start with the back up key card, but the first key car would need to be reprogrammed by Mazda.

holy mother of god that is awesome! i wander if i can install that keyless system in my protege? that would be so sweet. im so gonna test drive one of these within the next few weeks.

Apparently they need 17" winter rims because of the size of the brakes (boom06). That is rediculous.

My black beauty

After our night out last night, my wife decided that it was just too big and with too many gadgets for her. She wants to keep the MSP and wants me to drive the MS6! Damn....thats just too bad....LOL! She said that she'll have to take it every once and a while, but after I lit it up for her last night, she doesn't need that kind of power...LOL!
