Honestly, I was a little torn handing the keys over, but hopefully she'll be in good hands and CEG will have a new member. (See that, there's always a bright side .) On the ironic side, I found it a bit odd to turn the car in with this on the ODO. Of course it's only odd because this is my plate... Okay, so I had to drive an extra mile to do it...but it was still funny. So, on to the purchase. Cars on my wish list had to contain some of the following... 6 speed manual xenon lights Sirius compatibility exclusivity â�?�¦and while navigation and all wheel drive were nice, they were not required. In the price range I was looking at, I test drove (actually in this order) Acura TL Saab 9-3 Aero Subaru Legacy GT Spec-B (355-500) Mazdaspeed 6 GT Infinity G35x Sad enough, not a single American car made my list...in which I've never bought foreign before today. Also, while all did not make the criteria, I must say they were all very nice indeed. Letâ�?��?�s just says itâ�?��?�s been a fun month. If anyone has any specific reasons why I did not choose one, please ask and I will give an explanation. So, with a little further delayâ�?�¦my choice.

MS6 GT Well, here are some quick pics as I was more than Jonesing to drive this thing. I'll try and post some better pics in the sunshine tomorrow. Color is Black Cherry Mica...listed as the Grand Tour, comes with just about everything you can think of (much like the SVT at the time). Added features include navigation, sunroof, alarm system, sirius (still needs installed), compass with auto dimming mirrors, cargo nets, wheel locks, etc...can't think of anything she don't have So...natural progression? I felt it the second I was behind the wheel. Thoughts, questions, comments.

It looks nice and i like the extras on it( navigation and all).

Mazda specs are 274hp and 280 ft-lbs...of course word on other forums state that Mazda under rated the specs There listed numbers are more than fine by me, as the last time I've had a car on a dyno was...well, never.

I sold my Contour with the exact same mileage written on the title. Congrats on the MS6. One of my friends has a Mazda6s, I can only imagine how much quicker the MS6 is.
