Thread: Mazdaspeed6 review

    Default Mazdaspeed6 review

    Review

    The Mazdaspeed6 is for those of us who are a little more mature now; a little too old to be seen in a hardcore street machine, but who still enjoy driving and want something affordable, practical, and fun.
    Mick- I sure hope you give this car a look... it really sounds like a nice balance between fun car and family car.

    While I'm not one to speak for Mick, after THIS THREAD, I'm pretty sure it's off his list....

    I think this will be an awesome car. I really, really want one, but just can't justify giving up the 6 we have because the trade-in value is so poor. I'm going to test drive one soon......

    You want attention when you go on the lot? Throw a for sale sign in the window of your car before you pull up!

    I thought we had already discussed the Mazdaspeed6 on this post?

    I've got less that 20 days until the Expedition needs to go back to Ford, and in my search for a replacement I am constantly reminded why I don't enjoy this process of buying a new car.

    I may just drive the 'lac for a while.

    Yeah, but the sentiment over there was that it "might be a little high strung" for a company car. This review sounds like it is much less so than some of the others. It says "As a sedan, it's well appointed and spacious and is actually a superb family conveyance, but on the right road at the right time it's a hoot, carving up the countryside with entertaining ease." I think it would be the first car I would look at if I was in the market for a sedan.

    That was just that idiot salesperson... I've been back there to buy parts for the Spec and they were very nice. We bought Robin's Mazda3 there and I wouldn't hesitate to deal with them again.

    We wasted a good 3 hours of one of their Salesman's time before we bought our Murano somewhere else, and they were very patient and understanding. We test drove the RX-8, the Tribute, and a Mazda6, and they helped us install the car seat in a 3, 6, 8, and Tribute so we could see how easy difficult it was to get Jamie in and out.

    I guess the point I was making was that they didn't seem to appreciate a large group coming in. I bought my Miata there and they were excellent in a one-on-one situation.

    Has anyone actually seen one at a dealership? Few weeks back Hiley-Arlington showed to have one, but I found out it wasn't at the dealership but it was allocated to them....

    They just fail to mention the part where they aren't going to give you any $$$$ for them!
