Well we went down on sunday to the mazda dealership, and bought a '04 Mazda6s v6 with:
- Luxary Package
- Sport Package
- Moon Roof
- Bose sound (yea yea but the system is quite kickin actually...base that blows you away)
- Auto with manual mode (actually lets you shift from first to second)
- Autodim mirror

Great little car. Handling is unbelieveable! Interior is awesome and the red gauges and backlit knobs/steering wheel buttons are just awesome.

Issues:
- Not enough power...after the CL the 6 is a slug
- Rattle in the moonroof >_< Getting it fixed this week
- Exausts look kinda wimpy.

First gonna put in a navi system...thinking of a mobile system, but dont want a big-ass ticket for driving while watching a movie

Next tint

Then maybe wheels/sways/exhaust/headers

Best part? KEPT THE CL ALSO

When I need power => CL
When I need to take a corner at high speed => 6

 

you really think the 6 handles better than the CL? I haven't driven the 6, but for a cornering car I'd have thought of many other cars before the FWD 6.

Congrats on the car!

 

nice choice... i really like the Mazda 6s

Congratulation.

 

Congratulation. Last time me and my sister test drove a Steel Gray 6i and a black 6s. The ride of the V6 was very smooth and quiet. Yeah the only thing we didn't like about it is it is kind of slow. As far as the four cylinder one, I like the black sports seats very very much, more than the leather seats. Anyways, it is one awesome car. I prefer it more than Camry, Accord, and Altima. Only lose to TSX.

By the way, how do you add Navi when there is no space to put into?

 

you must post some pics of your new car.

I was thinking about the mazda 6 also but the package I put together was a lot higher than I thought.

very nice looking car.

COLOR? PLZ post pics!

 

Congrats on the new car. I really like those new Mazda 6's. Be sure to take pics.

 

Congrats..need pics...I like the 6s especially with the packages you got. Yes, the exhaust need to be beefed up, Alot!

 

heh thx for the love guys. Yea power isnt fantastic...but honestly at the price range it was this, an accord, or a camry. I did want a accord v6 with navi, but the cheapest was 27500 pre tax, almost $30k out the door thats more than my cl!

As to the navi, there is a little storage bin like this dude

basically he has the exact setup i want minus the xm and rearview camera. I also wanted to get it to play movies, but we'll see...need go and talk to some places this weekend to see about prices.

Tomorrow I'm going to go to the dealership and get a spoiler and auto-dimming mirror installed (part of the deal)

 

soon to follow

 

absolutely right...if i really wanted a true sports sedan i should have gone with something german, but really it was out of my price range, and the car is more for the rest of my family...just that I'll drive it arround a lot . Otherwise I'd have gotten the 5 speed

 

Exterior, very nice, Interior, not so nice IMO
