Just be sure you really want one, I also have a 2006 sport gt with 57 "can't come soon enough days left on the lease." Poor quality IMO, just do your homework.

 

you can get alot cooler cars for the same price. like a GTI, or a used s2000 or something. but if you really really like that car... you can get them down to 15k!

 

Well the reason i like this car is becasue its a 4 door, awd, and a six speed. I have 3 boys and my car is just to small. And its too hard with it only being 2 door. Also when we go out of town on the truck it wastes easy 100 bucks. So yea thats pretty much why.

If you guys have any other suggestions on cars that you think i may like please let me know. Thanks guys.

 

vw passat 2.0T, pontiac G8 GT, camry SE, altima SER, CTS-V... just to name a few. i think my future family car is gonna be a Magnum SRT-8. thats a bad b*tch!

 

All nice cars but my budget it under 17000 lol but thanks. I would love a G8 Gt or a GXP. Also those new Ford Taurus Sho are sick with that Twin Turbo set up.

 

i was gonna say the fusion, but i didnt wanna throw out the "F" word... haha, but you could put a few bucks into it to make it nice

 

We owned the 4 cyl base model Mazda, and it was a decent car. I never drove a Speed6, but I imagine it's night and day. The only issue I had with the car while we owned were brakes. I went through at least 3 sets in 1 year. The OEM rotors would warp very very easily.

Also, it had a HORRIBLE turning radius. Our minivan and Durango had a better turning radius than that Mazda 6, and I bet the Ram is pretty close.

The Speed6 is a fine platform but it's been abandoned. Mazda doesn't make it anymore and most enthusiasts have given up on performance mods so there's not a lot of aftermarket for it either. Having an intercooler without its own air supply wasn't a great move either.

I may be a bit biased but have you looked at a Subaru Legacy GT?



Faster in stock form with ridiculous aftermarket support. As with any turbo car you've got to stay current on your maintenance. The stereo's nothing to write home about. Just know that no turbo car is a gas-n-go proposition. They all have their quirks but at least the Subaru community is quick to help when you need it.

They made the Legacy GT in a wagon too, with identical performance, tons of storage, and HUGE sleeper factor, not to mention they get a massive sunroof while the sedans get a normal one.

My Legacy is under the knife right now, getting forged pistons & other goodies. It'll be a 400+ whp sleeper when I get it back. People won't know what hit 'em!

 

^^^ I agree, this would be an awesome daily driver.

 

Okay guys new update... I looked over the carfaxs on that Mazda Speed 6 and there is 23 reports, reported to car fax. Had to pay for them before i could see what they were... Na didnt want to waist my time. Next off i found a 2007 TrailBlazer SS black on black, with 50,000 miles for 19,000. What do you guys think of that? I really love this one. Give me feedback please. And how much you think i can bring these guys down??


O yea i am still keeping the Hemi....LOL
