Friend brought his 2007 Mazda 6 MPS around this morning - very nice car

Tempting....

Is that the 4x4 Mazda 6? They are awesome!

Great cars. 2.3 turbo puts out 265bhp.

Had the same engine on my 3mps.

There are a couple of 1IS owners who have graduated moved on to the 6 MPS. Similar equipment levels, comparable fuel consumption, just as practical (to the saloon), but waaaay more powerful :P

Graduated????

Fair enough, edited :)

I had the Mazda 6 sport before my Lexus and I liked that car. Not nearly as powerful as the MPS but the same equipment levels. The gearbox in the Mazda was better than the Lexus one IMO. However overall I prefer the Lexus because it seems slightly better build. However I think Mazda's (like Lexus) get a bit of a hard time due to Top Gear's nonsense comments about them. In relation to the Mazda 6, they said it was a great car but shame about the badge. What a lot of nonsense.

Its the 4x4 model - pretty awesome sound, SS decat exhaust and moves like hell.

Had a look through web - not a lot around and the ones that are available are high miles, don't know if they are quite as reliable at 70k plus. Getting a bit fed up of the 250 ... thought I would never say that, fed up of tip toeing around it wondering what else is on its way out on the car, spend quite a bit on it so far and wondering where the next spend will be.

Will leave until the summer to decide as I have just taxed it, MOT is in April so that will be the deciding factor.

Great cars but build quality is not close to lexus. Vfm on these is amazing.
