I love mine, Best Daily Driver I have ever owned. Mine is the same color, however I have the black sections on the rear bumper painted, as well as it's lowered, and I have a set of body colored 18's for it.

Enjoy it!

I was looking into one of those.. But I've been hearing some negative things about the drivetrain. CVR98GT, can you tell me how your experience has been?

I've always liked the black w/ machined lip look so that's what I was looking for and they make the car stand out a lot more.

i kind of like your stock wheels better.

i test drove one of these a few weeks ago. it was nice. i liked the grip but the power in my 3 liter svt contour actually feels better.

please get a short antenna. those things are so 90s :nonono:

that or one of those sharkfin style antennas like the 7 series has.

Mazda3= 2.4 4cyl Mazda6= 3.0 6cyl right? im not sure the diff in mazda speed though?


both Mazdaspeed versions of the 3 and 6 have the same turbocharged 4 banger. they should have put a turbo 6 in the MS6 :idea: but its still good none-the-less. :thumbsup:

MazdaSpeed 6: 2.3-liter DOHC 16-valve four,15.6 psi. 274hp/280tq

MazdaSpeed 3: 2.3-liter DOHC 16-valve four, 15.6 psi. 263hp/280tq


The normal 6 comes with a 4cyl and a V6 as an option. The normal 3 is a 4cyl only car, with a 2.3 as the larger motor.

I've got a Mazda 6s v6, wish I had the Mazdaspeed6 though. Both the Mspeed3 and Mspeed6 share the same engine. Speed6 is awd and the speed3 is fwd. There are tons of mods for these cars, pm me if you want details, I am pretty big in this stuff because this is my first new car...

i like the original wheels on it more too. I think the new ones are a tad small...

Im pretty happy with mine so far I was actually able to keep up / slightly pull a GTO (5.7L) to the top of 3rd gear (20mph - 70mph). I do hear the drive train is kind of weak as far as the rear axles go. I've beat on mine pretty good though and haven't had any problems so far.
