Yeah, like everyone mentioned, its good you made a switch. I believe the 3 has similar brake issues. The TSX would be my next car when I get the money.

The TSX, is a different animal altogether. Dubbed as the European Accord Type R it is a true sport saloon. Fraga, great trade. Good deal too. I would have traded a 6 on the TSX in a heart beat.
Mazdaspeed 6 though, well that's another story. Which is actually closer in price range to the TSX anyhow.
I love the 6 and I love the TSX as well, but when I read misinformation, particularly on the Mazda-Ford relationship it really ticks me off.

Rep Power: 328 By the way Fraga, why didn't you PM me regarding your brakes? This has been a problem with MSP's for a while now, and the quick and easy fix is a 60-80 dollar set of bobcat pads, and a freshly machined rotor surface.
For some reason, the compounds Mazda uses in the brake pads causes them to wear unevenly and cause problems with the indicator tab. The one that makes the sound to alert you to change your pads.

Do you even know what you're talking about? Mazda is the only japanese marque to ever win the Le Mans Championship. Mazda is also one of the only companies to focus on sporty feel in all of their line up. Mazda has brought us the 323 GTX (basically an EVO of the 1980's), RX-2 through RX-8, Cosmo, Miata, and the entire Mazdaspeed line up from the Protege through the upcoming 6, 3, and RX-8.If you ask me, "Honda sux unless its an S2000 or an NSX." By your reasoning.

The thing is: the guy has his mazda 6 broke down, which is pretty abnormal considering it is an japanese import
