I've given the Mazda 6 some thought also, but it is the first year for this car, and I don't want to be a BETA TESTER anymore. I've done enough of this with the 98.5 Tour.

Out of what you have listed I'd probably pick up the wrx. The matrix is too much of a dog with the big power engine, down low, think civic si but maybe worse  The mazdaspeed protege is really nice but the engine wasn't really engineered for the turbo so I see some problems a few years off. The WRX sti looks awesome, although I don't think they are going to make it in a wagon, if that's a huge concern. I like the MB a lot, but I wouldn't say it's a great car for the $$$, you are paying for some status there definetely. Not sure where you're price ceiling is, but I'd also check out -2000 Volvo V70 R wagon - Used S4 avant - VW Gti (maybe u can get a 337??) HTH -Pete

Do you really think you'll be beta testing? Technically, it's not a "new" platform like the Contour/Mystique were. I think it's safe to say most of the "bugs" are worked out lol! I'll definitley be lookin into those if they're still around when it's time for a new car!

The Mazda 6 replaces the 626 and the Millenia. It is a BIGGER car for sure. Ther is nothing that Mazda makes now that is on the same platform. The only thing that would come to mind may be the Jaguar, and if it is built on the Jaguar platform, I would rather have the Jaguar. Second thought, FORD could keep their Jaguar. I'll save my $$$ for a Lotus Esprit V8.

What is the 337 ? I don't know much about the GTI series.
