Stick Shift M6's - Mazda 6 Forums : Mazda 6 / Mazda Atenza Forum

iwantamazda6 · 09-19-2003, 12:32 AM

I really wanted a stick shift M6 with an i 4, but now am resorting to buying a stick shift honda accord LX. There is a lack of stick shift i's, ESPECIALLY with ABS and Side airbag options. That is the main thing I was looking for in the car. However would have loved to have moonroof, and app package. There is ONE mazda 6i with ABS and side air bags and premium package in all of FLORIDA. I was about to buy it but black is the worst possible color. It looks really nice when clean but one drop of water and its fucked. Also, there are like really loaded i4's and that I think is stupid, because it costs more than a v6. I'm sure I am not the only one who would've been willing to buy a sporty sedan with safety in mind and not have to settle for the LAGGY automatic. It freaking amazes me how bad the selection is on the i stickshifts. Just wanted to express my disappointment. On the other hand, I would like to say how wonderful this forum is, it is one of the main reasons why I really wanted the 6. Everytime I came to this site, it made me WANT the 6 like the ring in lotr hehe. I should be getting my car soon if u want to see pics respond to this shiz nizzlin post, saying you want to see it.

I'm missing the point of this... the I4 is offered with a stick.

I think the point he was making is that there is not a very good selection of option packages availible with the stick shift.

Its too bad you went with the Accord. The 6 manual tranny is awesome!

Just hold out and order one from the factory how you want it :)

and pay full msrp? no thanks. I only have about maximum 18k to spend on a car, so i was hoping to get a m6 with the 2k rebates.

MZ6ZoomZoom · 09-20-2003, 01:05 PM

You get the rebates if you order. And usually you can bargain the dealers down close to invoice even before rebates... although stick shifts are harder because demand is so high.

NoUse4Aname · 09-21-2003, 05:17 PM

Yeah there's nothing stopping you from dealing on an order. In fact the dealer should be pretty happy to do so. That way they don't have to deal with the costs associated with keeping another car on the lot for an extended time.

Can't order 03s anymore....theres 2k cash on them now and he would definatley be within his 18k budget.

04's only have 500 bucks to play with.
