    Default SVT hits 190K and its gone......MSP6!!!

    It was time! Had to replace my first car.....needed many repairs which at this point in my life I dont have the tools/location or time to do. Thankfully my brother is a whiz with cars so I sold it to him and he now has 2 SVT's. Focus and Contour, which works out good because he dearly misses his Cobra!

    Soooooo....as for my replacement!!! I wanted manual and all wheel drive..options are few and I dont fit in the WRX. I picked up a 2006 Mazdaspeed 6 with 17k miles on it!!! Its the sport, not GT but man this car is great and I fit like a champ (6' 4"). Still loved the lines of the SVT but these are great also. Thanks to all for numerous questions answered and helping out when I had car troubles! I will lurk but most likely leave the posting to my brother!!

    Later dudes........Zoom-Zoom!

    nice to find someone who got their full money's worth out of an SVT, bet you enjoyed every mile of it.
    Sold the CSVT, replaced it with a Screaming Yellow 2003 EAP SVT Focus

    Ended up getting the MSP 6 over the 3 because the seats were too snug for my hips. Soooo, I ended up with a Velocity Red 6!! The paint on this car is amazing. I have not done the rear end TSB...not sure if mine is leaking but dont thinks its clunking. I will have to look. I will get pictures up ASAP although its supposed to rain here over the weekend as I have moved for my new job to SEattle....Character Animator/Motion Capture!!! This car better hold together because its my first purchase in 10 years. Brother called my to say I am the best brother ever and the ol' SVT still pulls like rocket!

    Have to check out streetunit and some other Mazda forums! Car looks exatcly like this one...

    Zoom-zoom indeed, the Mazdaspeed6 is a worthy replacement for the Contour.

    I like my Mazdaspeed3, they're hatchbacks so I'm digging the extra room.
