turbocharged AND intercooled !!! Who would have thought ! No lag in these cars. Turbo's are tiny. Stock they run under 6 seconds to 60. Not sure what hes talking about with the steering. Guess he left the stability control on.

the speed 3 is, fwd dominates on twisties, look at polo golf or GTi, coz can zoom out of em quickly. it can pull like .9G's on skid pan, it is a limited slip fwd, doesn't handle like your typical fwd car. also fwd = lower drive train loss due to friction compared to rwd or awd, not to mention lighter parts. though costs bit more to service but less to manufacture

so once you've launched the car does it convert back into front wheel drive to minimize drive train loss? also is there an exact figure for the 80km - 120km? or the imperial units of that one.

mazdaspeed 6 stock 0-60 is about 5.4 according to car and driver, turbo lag is where it needs to be, in the lower rpms and because its a small turbo, you get max torque at just 3000 rpms. However, this car needs to be short shifted (around 5900 rpms) for maximum acceleration since it seems that the turbo runs out of breath at 6000 rpms. I know because I got one

to launch this car you just need to give it about 4000 rpms and quiclky feather the clutch while flooring it. with the DSC off, the computer wont hesitate to give that torque to all 4 wheels. 80-120, 100-200, arent really that fast but this car really shines in lower speeds though. the computer restricted top speed is 240 km/h, and i think it takes about 24seconds to get there from a stop.

they are quick, How do you make em launch in awd mode if they are on demand when they detect slippage. how fast is it 80km to 120km, 100km - 200km, its max speed. I am thinking of going from my mazda 3 (not speed, 5 speed manual)

i currently have a slightly modified 02 maxima 6speed. its running around 290 horse 270 torque to the motor according to the dyno. i love my car but have been thinking of getting this car. should i do it? i dont wanna get a "slower" car and it sure is nice having a 3.5 L in the city for torque torque torque.. does this car compare to my max?

@auto123 no way. Speed 6. I've owned both. There's a platform plateau that can't easily be overcome just due to it being wrong wheel drive. Awesome car, lots of space (hell I moved in it), great gas mileage (30+ mpg; stay out of boost :-)....trap speed will always be higher, but for it to post times like a MS6, it requires slicks. Interior is way better (leather with heated seats and sunroof), and if you get heavy rain and/or snow, MS6 truly earns it's money. Take both out for a spin :-)

This definitely beats the WRX so does the Mazdaspeed 3. And you cant exactly compare this or the speed 3 to an STI because number one, speed 6 is more competing with things like the legacy gt and the speed 3 is more competing with things like the WRX both the 3 and six are better overall than both of those in my opinion and they both dominate them in performance. Number 2 you cant compare them to STI's and Evo's because of the price difference (although speed 6 has a somewhat similar price)

WRX is too much I agree and it has a 5sp manual this has 6 speed :) the wrx sti on the other hand is in a different class, though the speed 6 is also a sleeper!

I didn't know the Speed 6 came in a wagon (only in Canada maybe?) but I'd gladly trade my Speed 6 Sport for a wagon or a Speed 3.As for the shift throws being too long,are you nuts?? I wish I'd listened to people's advice because the Mazda manual trans is SHIT. It's notchy as hell and is basically a 3 speed with a granny gear+2 over drives.I greatly prefer manual transmissions and my "new" 2006 Speed 6 is the 1st car I've ever owned that I wished was an automatic. Anybody want to trade me a Speed 3 for my Speed 6??? I'd trade for a Subaru WRX wagon too.
