Mick- I sure hope you give this car a look... it really sounds like a nice balance between fun car and family car.Quote:
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.
While I'm not one to speak for Mick, after THIS THREAD, I'm pretty sure it's off his list....Quote:

Better not go to Town North then... they weren't very supportive of our field trip to look at the NC... The dealer told us to "come back when you're ready to buy one"...Quote:

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

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.Quote:

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

Same story at Hiley - Hurst..........Quote:

I imagine they'll sit on dealer lots for a while, then prices will collapse like they did on the MSM. If you could pick one up, sans options, for $24-25k, it'd be a helluva deal.

It's true! It's true!Quote:

Hiley Arlington had one two days ago. A frind drove it and said "WOW!" Then, I went to the Ranch this afternoon.........
YEE! HAW! What a car! Eighteen of them at MSR thru tomorrow for dealer orientation, almost identical to the event two years ago with the MazdaSpeed Miata. I didn't get to drive one, but got a couple of hot laps as a passenger. It is everything I expected it to be. Not near the understeer that was complained about in the pre-production cars. Power delivery is smooth with virtually no turbo lag, lots of torque, great braking, although I can't say much for the driver, but I'm sure his throwing the car around impressed the salesmen...... I WANT A RED ONE :)
Nice! Are you reconsidering trading in the 03?Quote:

BTW Merv, have you ever driven an Evo? I drove one last weekend and it blew me away.
