I am thinking of buying a 6 for my Mrs. - Mazda 6 Forums : Mazda 6 / Mazda Atenza Forum

Hi

My name is Taka and recently Mrs. Taka is talking about buying a family car (gasp?!

My 8 isn't one??). She has a Barina now and she likes the Mazda 6.

We were looking at the 6 hatch today. Very nice. Have not try driving it yet

Now I have question for the 6 guru.

1. What is a good deal in Melbourne?

2. Should I wait for the facelift?

3. How crazy does the people mod their car.

4. I have a spare 18" for my wife's further 6 (from my RX-8). What is the stock wheel offset (for Classic)? (I am too lazy to search

).

Thanks in advance. I will keep reading all things in this site

Hey Taka,

welcome to the club (even though all us aussies are quiet as mice

)

1. i dunno im from sydney

2.yes if i were u id wait for the facelift. even though most of us approve of the original design, we are yet to see our aussie/jap update and rumors on the mechanical side is its got 5 speed auto or 6 speed man. And chances are even if its the same as the american facelift ur wife wont mind it.

3.people in general dont mod their 6, i guess they moderatly mod it. Things like new wheels, brakes, lowered suspension, exhaust, air intake, exhaust manifold, sound system and lights are usually the extent of mods ( i blame these tame mods on most people wanting to keep their new car warranty)

4.nup...im not gunna tell ya the offset dont be lazy

but i will say the rx-8's will fit...but still uve gotta find the offset to double check

Thanks mate.

I searched everywhere in this site and only the 17"x7 has a offset of +60.

Also seen the picture of the 6 with RX-8 wheel. It looks nice :thumbsup:.

I think I will wait for the facelift, even if it is still a 4 speeder. I think they will be doing big discount to clear out the stock if they were going to bring out the 5 speed auto/6 speed manual.

We are aiming at the Classic Hatch.

GG is the code for sedan and GY is the code for the wagon. I wonder if the facelift changes that. It usually does.

Hi Taka,

Nice to see you posting here too

And Stevesteve, there's plenty happening back in your own backyard dude! Maybe look at a forum a little closer to home?

LOL!

welcome taka!

if price isnt a big consideration, i'd wait for a facelift myself. the update engine is meant to be more economical plus we're most likely gonna be getting the 5-spd auto with a refreshed interior.

about modding, a former member Kuning made some huge mods to the aestetics of his car so im happy to get in touch with him if u want to speak to somebody who's done the whole shabang on the car.

and i see you're in Melbourne! yay, another melbourne member! perhaps we can finally have a melbourne meet, me, you, MrPayner, and Kuning and others!

keep us posted Taka.
