    Mazda's answer to the 2 AWD Turbos

    Tell me about it, and also what do you think of its 0-60 time?
    they never announced it yet well that car is 3500+lbs and has 274HP.

    TOYOTA should come up with something like this soon or even better, the Lexus IS350 AWD6spd M/T "I HOPE THEY MAKE A COROLLA AWD with 306HP-and288lb-ft TQ.

    My buddy Aaron at the local Mazda dealership is supposed to be getting several in next week...he promised me to be one of the first to drive it. So I'll throw out a review after the drive.

    But I can tell you from experience...that the 3.5L 6-cyl, 5-spd Mazda6S is a fantastic car. I drove one the other night and had nothing but good things to say about it. If I had the money...I'd have bought one last night.

    3.5? The engines in the Mazda 6 that are available is a 2.3 4 Cyl. with 160hp, a 3.0 V6 with 220hp and the 2.3 Turbo (Mazdaspeed) with 274hp... and since you said it was an 6s, it would be the 3.0 V6 with 220hp...

    My mistake, it was the 3.0, thanks for the correction. But I'll tell you what, that 6 pulls...hard. I've never driven a stock 4-door "sports" sedan...that didn't just chirp the tires going into 2nd...that 6s flat burned 'em into second.

    Yeah does anyone notice a pattern with Mazdaspeed cars? They're ALL turbo. That means it's only a matter of time before a turboed Mazdaspeed RX-8 comes out.

    So this isn't the Mazdaspeed 6, but I figured I'd share this.

    You know, upon joining Mazda6club.com...I find myself slightly worried. Look at some of the thread titles in the 3.0L V6 sub-forum:
    New ticking to let bother us!
    engine ticking 1 2
    Knocking at Low RPM
    SMOKING at startup and in stop & go traffic-HELP!
    Oh my word! I need help asap! 1 2
    New noise occuring
    Lost power
    Need Help ASAP
    Back to the dealer it goes
    Rattling noise under acceleration
    whine?
    :mad: New motor!! 34k miles!
    Whats wrong with my car?
    Fan Control Module Acting Up
    Tune-up a lot sooner than expected
    ...that's only through page 4...of 13 pages. That makes me worry a little bit.
    :sad: :(
