I've had to test drive numerous cars, and I myself dislike FWD cars, but this is definately the most neutral feeling, best handling, best responding FWD car I've driven. And it just begs to be thrown into curves, and quickly composes itself when doing so. If anything, someone might feel TOO confident with the vehicle.

I have a 6s MT and sound like a broken record while singing its praises. I've owned it for 8 months now. Aside from some "staining" in the right rear door sill, I have not had a single problem. The car is still tight as a vault, with zero squeaks or rattles. I don't even use the stereo, because I love to hear the engine rev. Mine is a non-sport version, and the ride/handling compromise is perfect for me. You'll find criticism on other forums about the Michelin Energy tires that come standard on the non-sport 6 and some other sedans. Well, they work just fine on this car -- makes me think the tires aren't the problem for the others!
 
I compared this car to the Passat and TSX. Both have nicer interiors than the 6 (especially the Passat), but neither is as engaging to drive IMHO. I recently had the chance to drive a friend's TSX while she drove my 6. I think we both came away satisfied that we had chosen the right car.
 
The 6 is not for everyone. But if you're looking for a practical sport sedan, it is an excellent choice.

Know what guys?
You can't really talk about winter in California. Here in Northern California, it's sunny most of the time, but still a little chilly (I know, we're a little wimpy).
 
That's why I can't wait for the weather to turn nice again, so I can roll down the windows. That's when I will turn my Bose off, and really enjoy hearing the growl of my 6s. It's especially nice when merging onto highway traffic using the manu-matic shift feature. My 14-y-o son really digs it! What sweet sound!
 
Now he's onto the 3 (his dream car). Earlier, his plan was to "inherit" my 6 in a couple years. Let's hope he likes the 3 more than my 6, so I can keep it longer...

Sure, except when it's foggy. I last time I flew into San Jose we almost got diverted to Oakland because the fog was so bad in San Jose. No fog here in NM.

You need a bigger gas tank to get around that state. Gary are you near Albuquerque?
