Quote: The 6 represents keeping my place in the world. It's a great car that I love dearly, but is equivalent to my SVT. The TL represents a big step up in the world in every way. If the rear seat folded, the car would be perfect.
I would definitely agree with this statement.
I probably would not recommend the 6 to an SVT owner that was looking to "step up in the world".
It's a little bit faster, and a little bit nimbler, and quite a bit more luxurious, but nothing that's a huge step-up.
It's probably as good of a replacement for an SVT as you're going to find on the market right now.
But, unless you're someone that got a pretty significant pay raise since you bought the SVT, you're probably not in the market for a TL. It's definetly an all-around step-up -- and priced accordingly.
And that is why the Mazda6Club Forums are FULL of former SVT and SHO owners.
