No immediate plans for mods. I want to live with it for a while as is before making any changes, since I'm planning that it will be my next 8-10 year daily driver.
I honestly don't know why I'm buying now instead of waiting, I'm just impetuous and I was lucky to find exactly the car I wanted locally. There are only a couple Mazda dealers nearby (one in town and one 40 miles away) and they only get allocated a handful of v6 with 5-speed each year, since they make a very limited number of them (apparently only 10% of the build mix, zoom-zoom my ass!) So when one showed up within reach that was pretty much exactly how I would have ordered one, I couldn't resist.
If this winter is anything like the one 2 years ago, there should be plenty of chances to "exercise" it
