mazdaspeed 6
 

does anyone on the fourm have one they look like a nice turbo all wheel drive car pretty cheap for about 26,000 anybody hear about problems with them? I was thinking about useing it as a daily driver....

this should be in the general car chat or mazda tech forum, why not ask check a mazda forum for your answer?

god thats the one car tht scares me in a race setting there fast as ****

yea my boss has one. that car is pretty insane for what it is. Its quick and handles real tight on corners and back roads. I would def buy for a DD if $ allowed!

-George

when they have a half decent driver in the seat they f'in launch like an evo i would have to say i was impressed

yeah, lot's of tq even stock, something like 250hp/300tq stock right?

my buddy is actually selling one in ohio... $21k

Come on guys keep it real here. :sleep:

what does tht mean? obviously u have never seen this car its runnin high 13's stock as a sedan in the mid 20 grand price range

274bhp, 280lb-ft torque, 0-60 in 5.4 seconds, all wheel drive, inline 4 cyl turbo and intercooled, im srry but tht pretty impressive for a sedan

i think the ms6 is fwd, isnt it ?

ther ya blow

nope the 6's are awd and the 3's are fwd. Ive seen a few modded ones driving around but havent see one in action. For the price id still work out buying an sti or evo but there defintly a sleeper when comparing them. I think it be a nice daily driver

damn, maybe i'll look at an ms6 instead of an evo 8

sti's and evo's are the first choice for everyone who has the money i like the idea of being diff thts why i did the s60R cause no one in delco has one

Yes, the Mazdaspeed6 is pretty impressive, all things considered. It was built to be the 'BMW' of the current Mazda family -- more power, more refinement, more upper-class type comforts, blah blah.

Check out http://www.msprotege.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=138 for more info .. It's a 'sub-forum' of the Mazda Forums website. Lots and lots and LOTS of good stuff there.

There's already a decent amount of aftermarket being built for it, too. An upgraded TMIC (Top-Mount Intercooler) as well as a full FMIC (Front-Mount intercooler) kit are in the works -- they actually might have been released already, I'm not positive.

mazda6club.com generally people have been happy with them on the forum. they said first omd u should do is intake. It will allow you to hear you turbo more and youll enjoy the car alot.

does anyone know what there boost'n

I think stock boost is 16 or 17 PSI .. Not 100% positive, though.

tht seems very very high for the motor but hey look at what there doing to srt4 neons they got 60 trim turbos for tht car tht supposilty hold up to the boost so0o i guess i dont kno

i am this close >< to buying one lol

my boy just leased one its a semi quick car thats nice

exactly.:thumbup: not "god thats the one car tht scares me in a race setting there fast as ****" Speed is relative.

The motor in them is wonderful. 2.3L of direct injected boosted goodness.

TQ curve on them looks like a small V8, max TQ is around 3k IIRC. They reach full boost quick and they do boost around 16-17psi stock. They have been on Ward's 10 best engine list since they came out.

I like it as a DD I have yet to drive one but have seen them around. Interior looks good (better than the EVO). Id like to go take one for a spin

I was at a Carnival at Giants Stadium the first time I really checked it out. They had a Mazda booth there.

Then the Rep says do you like it and do you want to set up a time to come to the dealer. I said I like it but I'll keep my EVO thanks.

That must have angered him cause he goes this car is way faster than any EVO and is way more reliable and has bettter resale. My GF and I basically laughed in his face as did all my friends that were with me and the couple other people standing around.

I then told him to read up and not to be an ignorant car salesman and he might actually sell some cars.

^^^ I don't know how the MS6 would match up against an EVO, since I'm not familiar enough with either car to make a fair comparison, but as far as resale -- I have no doubt that the MS6 will do better than an EVO.

An EVO has a relatively narrow target range, as far as who the car is 'made for'. But the MS6 has a more broad customer base -- it's more appealing to the average person, basically. So you'll have a much easier time selling a used MS6 for a higher price, than you will a used EVO.

There is no way that the resale of that car will hold up to an EVO's and actually I just checked and I was right it doesnt.

Same milage same year Mazdaspeed 6 is going about 3-4k less:mrgreen:

They cost the same new too. Im not bashing the car I like it. I dont like car salesman that are douchebags

I do agree on the wider customer base but the Evo is way more rare and will bring alot more money espescially in the future. Since the 4G63 is done now

IMO Subie LGT > MSP6

I test drove both as we were looking for a nice daily driver. I'm >< close to purchasing the LGT. Price for 5sp manual I got was at $26k. The car has many more luxury features, huge aftermarket potential, and is a faster car in stock trim. Only issue with the LGT is that the suspension is a little soft, but that's easy to fix. The LGT is faster also, just look at any comparison test. Once again, just my $0.02 so take it for what it's worth.

The MSP6 is a great car, just not for the price. I would buy it for $22k at most, that's what it's worth to me in comparison.

srt-4?

dont comment on things u have never seen in ur life, lemme guess ur a domestic guy tht think tht all small block v8's rule the world....... stock on stock this car will spank any base v8 mustang or camaro on the market so quit quit quote'n me like a duesh bag and get the facts before the next idiotic thought is released through ur fingers to the keyboard making us all dumber for thumbing across ur retarted post

Is this car competition for an Evolution or STi?

the car wasnt meant to compete as far as i kno considering the weight diff.
i think this was more along the lines of an se-R altima cause that is tht car they put it up against on many comparisons, The car is also alot more about luxury and comfort than race ability

MSP don't run low 13s as far as I know. There are several LS1 Camaros running low 13s from the factory and the new Mustangs which I believe are also around the 27K range run mid 13s. I could be wrong but I believe the MSP was a very low 14 second car.

Besides this I'm pertty sure I saw a Volvo S60R today. Had the R on the rims. One of the sickest looking Volvo's I've seen. I was defiantly impressed.

some pages are showing high 13's on what i saw, it depens on where u look, and i also compared it to base v8 mustangs and camaro's......im not even a full fan of the msp i just like to see cars tht arent expected to do nething run impressive numbers so0o im just giving the car props

o0o yeah the s60R is the best sleeper i ever owned thts why i bought it, anyone can go out and buy an evo or an sti (im not knocking them but there becoming to common) but to research and find a moderatly priced monster tht are rarely seen or heard is what i look for
you would be amazed how many times ppl make fun of me about the car and at the end of the quarter are my best friend and asking me to see the motor hahahhaha im not tryin to toot my own horn but the car is great

the only dealer I can find in Jersey with a mazdaspeed 6 is in freehold NJ

thanks guys I think I will test drive one

yeah i mean u gotta think at the moment kno one has one, i personally like to be original

if u get one hit me up ive been waiting to run one for kicks

Like I said speed is relative. A bone stock ls1 will walk it all day. I happened to line up against a silver one last time I was at island. It went a 14.4 @99 if that's fast to you, great, I'm happy for you. Don't rationalize that I said "domestics own all" i did not say that. If you want to go drop 25k+ on it feel free. And since you came at me with such arrogance feel free to show up with your volvo "lmao" and show my domestic what's up. "At the sheetz on schonersville rd Sat night with the other fast cars that wont show "machocrx, spoolindelsol" as neither will you" Hope this post was less "retarded" than my last. "or easier for you to comprehend". :finga: volvo lmfao

lol..

Off topic: S60R, don't kid yourself, your Volvo won't touch any LS1-powered GM product. Newer Mustang GT's...yes..but LS1s? No. Not a chance. Well, theres a "chance", being "driver error", but stock for stock, eh, no.

On topic: My uncle just bought one to replace his 12 year old Protege. ABSOLUTELY loves it. Was looking at a BMW, and when he saw costs over the years, decided to go more in the direction of Mazda.

hahahha another person who doesnt research cars when they callt hem out
