| Hi, am up in Michigan and am getting a price of $279.00 month for 24 months with 10,500 miles/year with $1500.00 down for an 06 gt with moonroof.Would need to buy up miles to 15 k/year. How much is it per mile to buy up front? Just wondering if this is a great deal or should i wait. I have 7 payments at 313.00 month on the gas-guzzling chevy trailblazer that i want to get rid of.I would need to roll this in if i make a move before lease end.This dealer has about 20 ms6 in stock.Any input on price/timing of purchase would be appreciated. | |
| I just got the reprogramming done. Big difference. Much smoother shifting. For those who have not had this recall done, I encourage you to get your speed6 into the service dept ASAP | |
Trying to decide between a Mazdaspeed 6 and a Subaru Legacy Spec B. Tough decision! Any suggestions or advice? The Subaru costs more. I like the styling better of the Mazda but I have heard of some possible reliability issues with it.

There really are no AWD cars except Subaru that have the ideal drivetrain layout. The flat four boxer engine, centered drive train, and superior full time AWD simply can't be matched by the high tech gizmos and computers that the others throw at it. The Subie will easily go 200k+ miles of AWD fun. The Mazda is essentially a FWD car with part time RWD tacked on. Very sophisticated, and it does work well, but a spade is a spade. My $0.02. Juice can give you a lot more. John |

Replying to: peter47 (Sep 21, 2006 5:26 am) BTW, if you are concerned about snow performance, I believe the Mazda will at least match the Legacy. The Mazda has the ability to lock the power transfer 50-50 front/rear. Both have limited slip in the rear. I think both will do equally well in the snow, given equal tires, but one downside to the Speed6 is that it comes standard with 18 inch summer only tires. I'm looking for some 17 inch wheels and winter tires for winter use. The AWD system in the Speed6 is basically the same Haldex as used in the Volvos, if that makes any difference. I don't hear any complaints about them.

Replying to: scottl (Sep 21, 2006 7:58 am) there you go. That is just the point. The Mazda is FWD until loss of traction commences, and then it is AWD. When we are talking high performance, full time AWD is essential. John |

Replying to: jeffyscott (Sep 21, 2006 5:51 am) The pre 2003 4 cylinder 2.5 liter had some issues, albeit a small percentage. The 2.5 turbo, and 2003+, have not had any issues. Nor the 6 cylinder boxer. So no. There are no issues on the new ones. John |
