my impressions of the 6 - Mazda 6 Forums : Mazda 6 / Mazda Atenza Forum

suspension is well sorted all be it a little too soft. most of which is the 16's on the car currently.
steering is way to light at speed. and throttle response is terrible. shifter is surprisingly nice however the 3rd gear not working right is a problem need to tear into that gear box and replace those syncro's(that should make a fun saturday) other engine power is decent with anemic low end mostly atributed to the heavy as hell flywheel. otherwise one of the most well sorted sedans on the market

I must agree with you on the throttle response, and the anemic low end. I actually lose to my friend's tC all the time

LOL... It was a legit question. We shouldn't have to search to figure-out which 6 he has...

midastech390 · 06-18-2007, 08:46 PM

sorry for that. i am remarking on the 6s.

catiro · 06-20-2007, 02:27 PM

The 6s is a fun car, just have to keep the revs up.

midastech390 · 06-21-2007, 09:13 PM

oh i know that and honestly revs dont have to be kept up that much in comparision to a mazda bp motor that revs to 9500 its a breeze.
