But when the car is running as it should, as it does for 95% of people, it blows it's claimed power out of the water, with torque levels at the wheels as high as the engine itself is rated at.



Drove an MS6 today.

Pros:
Quick and torquey - Felt as if all 270+ hp, 280 ft lbs were present
Sleeper - especially in dark colors
Felt nice and solid (3600 lbs)
Relaxed and knowledgable sales person who didn't act as if he was going to be deported if he didn't make the sale today.

Cons:
Leather and moonroof puts me out my price range (not must haves)
Notchy gearbox (again, not a deal breaker)
140 treadwear rating on the tires!
Non folding rear seats
Felt everyone of those 3600 lbs in the corners
Engine note too subdued for a car with sporting pretenions (turbo?)

Didn't buy, but might come back for another look.
