My aunt has that car and its nice, rides good, and is pretty quick, but make sure if you get it get it fully loaded and with the V6.

Those are good cars, I had a chance to drive my sisters mazda 6 and the v6 engine is nice and mazda really did good on this design I think, but I think a GTP can still beat it.(lol)

My buddy at work has a MazdaSpeed 6. the one with the 275hp Turbo 4 banger.

It is a nice car but I think the GP is a lot nicer.

no other car has what the GP does, low cost lots of power great design and wide variety of aftermarket parts. and still a daily driver.

I like the Mazda6. It looks mean .. That Mazdaspeed looks like it will tear up pavement, too.

I have to agree with Pedal Down, though. laugh

The Mazda 6 is nice, but as stated before, the GP is a nicer car for the money, and has more power. I would definitly get the V-6 though, b/c my brother in law has the 4 banger, and we were coming back from STL last year, he was following my in my GTP, and we both had 4 people in the car. He was doing all he could, in the auto stick mode, just to keep up with me going 80. Now I know his is just a 4 banger, but still, that is kinda sorry. He told me that ever since, he has greatly regretted 4 banger purchase. The 2 extra mpg. that he gets w/ the 4 banger wasn't worth the price when compared to the extra power he would of had with the V-6

You can't go wrong with a 5spd! wink I love the one in my Strat, and they're over a second faster than the autos in the 1/4 mile.

Depending on what you want to spend, you could wait on the Dodge Avenger. Mid-size sedan, Charger looks, and AWD/3.5 (250hp) for the R/T. They also have a 300hp option with possible 5 speed slated for the future. Standard is the 6 speed auto.
