Mazdaspeed Article

[schlot]

Thought you guys would find this interesting. I stumbled across an old AutoWeek while cleaning and sure enough they had article on our car in the Dec 20, 2004 edition. A few quotes from it.

"It's a far cry from the the likes of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution and Subaru Impreza WRX STi, and purposefully so. Mazda said it never considered a hood scoop or the boy-racer look, instead concentrating more on using richer materials and finishes to elevate the look of the car over its stock brethren"

"Mazda claims its car will pull 6.6 second 0-62mph time, putting it more than a second off the Evo's best"

"During our brief on-track time, we found the MazdaSpeed 6 incredibly easy to drive, and overal very satisfying. It tends to understeer on entry at every turn when pushed hard, requiring a serious amount of steering input to get the nose pointed toward the desired direction of travel"

"Overall, the 6 is tremendously forgiving of every gaffe, small and not so small, though we'd prefer perhaps a little less understeer."
