I have driven the Legacy GT. I am not fond of the interior at all.

I took a serious look and test drive of both cars and I think overall the MS6 was better except the clutch completely killed it for me. The suspension on the MS6 is SO perfect, I'm sure you'll have a ton of fun on your daily drive to work.

So are you saying that the clutch was brutal on the MS6? I didn't think it was that bad.

Nice buy though! I checked that car out before buying my TSX. Loved it.

What made you get the TSX instead? I have driven a few TSXs & TLs & was all set to buy a TL until I drove a Speed6. TSX is just too slow for me

What would be the point of having an intercooler without some type of compressor (S/C or turbo)?

Yeah, definitely the power difference was there, but I was never a fan of Mazda's interior either. The power is great, because coming from a old Volvo 850, there was no luxury at all, the leather made you sink and and your back ache for ages, and I wanted to make a transition from the crappy interior, to a nice interior. The TSX gave me all that, and the good looks I was about an inch away from buying the Legacy, because I've been on a Subaru Forum since 2003, and absolutely love Subarus. But, fuel economy + gas prices.. well let's just say that the TSX stood way out there for me and the best option as a student with only a job on the weekends.

Again, and enjoy your new car!

I've heard they have a lot of probs. on the ms6 boards...clutch, heat causes engine to lose tremendous power, transmission failures, etc....on the other hand, I still think they are badass.

I think there is an ECU program out there that'll give you 50+ hp for around 300 bucks!

The heatsoak was a 2006 issue & that was cured via a recall for an ECU reflash.

It'll be under warranty for 99% of the time I own it so it's all good.

Nice ride, I like the interior, but the exterior styling kinda kills it for me.

Ford owns a small portion of Mazda. I'm curious, what do you think you know about the MS6 that makes it so bad?

B/c if I could afford to spend close to $40k on a car I would buy an M3 Convertible.

How much did they want? They were giving away new 2006s for around $22k & great deals can be had on 2007s too!
