THe Mazda 6

well me and a friend test drove the new Mazda6 on Sat, it was the sports package, came equipped with 17 alloys, ABS brakes, four disc brakes, 220hp V6, OE kit, and all sorts of badass stuff, there werent any 5sp but the one we drove had a sport tronic 5sp tranny. The cool part about it was the guy drove it first and showed us how it handled and almost redlined it a few times . He drove it hard and showed us the potential and then i got behind the wheel and the first thing he said was dont worry about speeding i can get you off the hook so i redlined this thing once or twice and drove it hard for about 10 mins. I was very impressed with it and so was my friend so much so that ill prolly be seeing one in her driveway soon! Cant wait! Just that ide let you in on it

omg, i saw one!!

It was so beautiful!!! It was that yellow color, very sexy. The lady was waiting to pull out of a parking lot so I yielded and gave her a huge thumbs up. She smiled gratefully and laughed a little bit. My appeal for her car was obvious.

Well im a die hard fan of the manual but if you dont know how to drive a manual this is the closest thing, its more expensive for the sport tronic but its fun i drove it but its wied driving with no clutch, they said the manuals are HARD to find but the one we were looking at was a gunmetal color so shes waiting till the get the manual in gunmetal then i get to drive it again. Came with BOSE 6 speaker sound system, plus a Bose sub, 8 airbags, vented front brakes, stabalizer bars in both the front and rear, intergrated fog lights, heated seats climate control radio controls on steering wheel and something intergrated in the radio system that would change the volume sensitivity when the car went a certain MPH or the sunroof or windows were opened. IT was a very nice car, price wasnt too bad

mazda's "zoom zoom" philiosphy (sp?) is really turning their cars into eye-catchers IMO.
Mazda is on the right track

only bad thing about mazdas.....my uncle said they're jus expensive to fix compared to Hondas and Toyotas.
