im confused at how you can walk away from the Fusion satified, but the Mazda 6... bored? Arent they technically the same car... I know they are on the same platform... If anything the Mazda 6s should be more fun to drive then the fusion because of the more agressive suspension... My brother's Fiance has an 03' Mazda 6s and its just a blast, even with the 5 sp Auto.
