I owned one of these "Mazdarati's" from 2009-2011. It was a velocity red mica Sport model. I absolutely loved it; it was such a fun car to drive/own. I put 40,000 miles on her in those two years. I bought a set of tires and changed the oil - that's it. I got looks from Legacy 2.5GT owners and 3 series drivers all day (and every day). It was and still is the underdog for mid 2000's "bargain" performance!

I bought a red 2007 Mazda MazdaSpeed 6 back in April. This car absolutely gets my heart racing everytime I drive it. For those of us that wish it will be reincarnated in the newest generation Mazda 6, it will not be the same - Electric steering, more electronic systems in place, more refinement which will make it lose its rawness. This car has its weak points which the aftermarket has support parts for. I would say if you want an AWD sedan that will excite you for every drive, but one that is completely or mostly stock and fix the broken parts over time.

I own a RHD Mazdaspeed 6. Its called a MPS 6 where I come from. This car absolutely rocks, it has everything a sleeper executive sedan needs.

clutch slip is where you rev pretty high usually i go about 5 grand, and then let out on the clutch until it grabs and then let off, instead of just dumping the clutch which makes it bog down and isnt as fast. the best 0-60 time ive gotten is 5.18s fullystock only an intake

Mazda’s are the most understated cars. Great products!!

Great cars of Mazda. The Speed6 is nice car

Ran a 2:34.4 around Suzuka in this car on GT5. Faster than an AP1 S2000, '98 Audi S4, even the Mazda RX8. This car is no joke.

Well its no surprise even Jeremy Clarkson pointed out that most Mazda engineers were all ex race car drivers, hence the pedigree zoom zoom ;)

I just bought one yesterday. I absolutely love it. It is the fastest,best handling car i have ever driven. I cant wait for my CAI.

No issues at all other then when idling it was puffing blue smoke but switched to synthetic oil and never had any more issues with that. The only reason I sold it, was I wanted a truck but I REALLY miss the car and wish I never sold it.

@@jratch100 I had the blue smoke at idle and the manufacturer replaced it for free in like 2012 or 2013. Sorry to hear you sold it. It is a damn good car! Hopefully you can get something better and faster in the future.

Really is a great car... The perfect balance between looks, luxury and power. Not too expensive either, I picked up mine for a lot less then an EVO/STI and with a couple tweeks here and there I could probably keep up with a stock one. I love my MS6 lol.

owned one of these from 2015-2017. one owner, titanium silver sport. my first manual car had full bolt ons by the time i sold it. loved the car.incredible handling - the differential was out of the RX8, and the thing could plow through 10+ inches of snow when we had a couple blizzards in the washington dc area during my ownership. unfortunately, the car would constantly break rear diff mounts (including upgraded ones) even when i never, ever dumped the clutch. it got frustrating having to continuously replace the mounts, so i sold it for $1500 more than i paid for it ( I paid 10.5K from a jeep dealership)

wolf in sheep skin

Bring this car back!

The Aus and Eu versions are called the MPS but are still excellent none the less. This car can be tuned up to 300Kw's!

Agreed. I would say the Legacy GT is what the Speed6 was aimed at, or more comparable to at the time.

Wish they made the new 6 and especially the 2014 wagon in a speed6 model, add in AWD and a 6 speed manual would be an awesome and exclusive ride...my recently purchased and rare 2006 '5speed manual' V6 GT wagon is a really nice balanced package...Mazda knows how to build cars for drivers.

@vernong1992 They discontinued it because in 2008 they introduced the Mazda6S with a 3.7L V6. Now that they had a modern V6 with 270hp there was no need for a Mazdaspeed version, or so says Mazda.

if u put the stock tires on it (this one had pirellis for some reason) the brakin distance will decreas to 112 feet (which is almost 2 meters less than zo6 corvette of that year). original tires were potenzas summer performance.

Got mine for 2 months now and didn't regret for a second!

I've had it for 6 years, only had some normal maintenance. I did corksport intake, downpipe and turbo back exhaust, hpfp, bov and tuned it to just 300 bhp. Could been more but then i had to change waste gate and fmic. Never regretted that car, only regrets are hat i sold it after i did from 90.000 tot 240.000 in that 6.5 years because we needed to get a bigger car for the dog and baby stuff. At 240.000 it was still at stock turbo, clutch etc. But needed some repairs for another 6 years. I'd say, 250.000 km wont be a problem, tuned and with stock turbo/clutch. If you want one, take it 😁 just check for rust and blue smoke, that means the turbo i needs love. 🤣

I ran one in a 07 3.5 6speed Altima. Stayed pretty even. I was shocked!

My dad's got one, but it got damaged during the hailstorm we had last year. I hope he gives it to me and doesn't decide to trade it in.

Im shocked at how nicely it slaom-ed.

??? The power curve on this car, with the turbo coming on at 3K and falling off before 6K, you have to shift ALL the time. Not that that's a bad thing, in my book.

Would it be advisable to get one of these used?

i've only seen one of these out on the streets.

@amaple312 Well, of course it would, that's why I own a MS6. But Mazda's reasoning for discontinuing it was because they had a competitive V6.

i love my mazdaspeed, and i think their 0-60 time is off a little when he was launching it looked like he was bogging it, u need to clutch slip them so they dont bog down

I raced a Evo VIII with an exhaust, with my Speed 6 with an intake and exhaust neither of us pulled i was pretty happy about that it all depends on who gets the better launch if i messed up he would get a length and then it would remain the same to 100

I love 04 6S MTX and will never sell it, but the Speed6 is a great car. I prefer the styling of mine though.

I'm so jealous! I'm saving up for mine now! Did you get the sport or the gt?

Nice review! & 99 mph in the 1/4 mile...Not bad at all.

The MSP3 needs AWD. Too much torque steer in the front wheels. With the new Mazda 3 chassis going a full skyactiv tune up in the 2014 model. I really hope they get an AWD variant. That'd be the hot hatch to buy. Competing with the VW Golf R very well I'd say.

GT has xenon headlights and pop-up nav in the dash. The base Sport model doesn't.

People who are saying this competes with the Legacy GT or something have never driven one of these. I own an EVO VIII and a MS6 and generally the MS6 is MUCH faster except on hairpin turns. Would smoke a WRX. Mazda's numbers they give for 0-60 and quarter mile etc are laughable in how gentle they are with the car. Seriously, drive one of these. It's a beast. Ultimate sleeper.

@rollajoc96 I completely agree, I always been a fan of turbo all wheel drive cars (Evo, skyline, wrx sti just to name a few) didn't even know it existed till just a while ago. but until the price drops some more ill keep looking for a 323 gtx

@OmerTheGreatOne There were winter tires on the shot you could see.

I've wanted one for 4 years now since I've owned a 2.3l 6 but could never find one in my area and they are too expensive which is its main downfall.

this is a really nice car its cheap too but can outperform a bmw or audi and maby an evo or sti with a few mods its amazing Im going to get a civic si hatchack first,work for a year then im going to buy this.

i have one too and im in love

@supercarkid yes but ford only have 8% share left in mazda because mazda is buying themself back

I havr one and i love it! I am the only one who got this car in my town with 180k people :D

@koukicrisp would you recommend this or the new mazda 6 with the v6 engine?

No bro, I think you need to do your homework again. I'm asking which trim you got of the Speed 6. There is the base sport trim and the more expensive grand touring version, with the xenon headlights, nav and leather seats. I wasn't asking about the regular 6 at all.

Worst AWD take off ever. No wonder he could only get a 5.8 second 0-60. Also judging by the length of time he was in 1st and 2nd gear he was over revving the turbo. Shift at 5800 or GTFO. I own one and all the time I get asked WTF kind of mazda 6 is that? To which I answer "the only kind worth owning :)" It gets under rated on the street all the time.
