Link shamelessly boosted from the Mazda6 boards. The car seems bada**! I thought it was going to be AWD though. Meh, I'd still hit it. Shoulda waited and tried to convince my wife to get one instead of the Caliber.  She wanted an automatic though. Her loss. I got my MS6.  Sport Compact article. Good write up.

I don't see the MS3 being heavily discounted like the MS6. You can get a MS6 on discount for what a MS3 costs and the AWD is a nice feature.
Good to see the Civic SI getting some competition in the compact segment.

Guess it depends on who you are. I never even consider that car competition for much. It might be better than a horse for transportation. I think of SRT first in this segment. Si isn't like it was years ago.

I am seriously considering getting one next year. But I doubt it will be the contour that gets sold, lol.

Yep. Mazda did it up on this one. The Speed line is coming to maturity. All I need to do now is get my hands on an MSMiata and an MS3 and I'll have whored the entire family.

LOL. Yeah, I'm gonna go buy the mag just cuz. I like how it talks about how good the MZR engine is.

True. I don't see it being discounted heavily either. Although I like the MS3, I LOVE the MS6 and it's a better fit for me and my family. The AWD is noice, let me tell ya. It was great in the rain today.

The new Si isn't a slouch. It's performance numbers exceed the 1st Si by a large margin. It's more like a cheap RSX Type S IMO. I like the looks of them and the ergos. But the performance isn't up to par with what'd I'd like out of a $23kish car. Plus ZERO discounts on Hondas.

DO IT, DO IT! I'd love to see what you could get the MZR to do!

Just don't use 'totalling the previous car' as your reason/need to move on to the next one!
