i did just what you are thinking of doing about a month ago. picked up a lapis blue mazda6, loaded! sold the svt and have NO complaints though I got less than what I was hoping for it when I sold it... anyway, they're two total different cars though so make sure you test drive it to make sure that's what you want. the svt is more "sport" oriented than the 6. very different suspensions. i think the 6 is more on the luxury side of things than sport, though it handles great and has plenty of power! i give my vote to the 6! if you can find what you want, you can pick up an 03 for a steal right about now. mine was stickered at almost $28k and i got it for $22,800 which was $1500 below invoice, and I got bank financing of 3.4% to boot!
