Replying to: pegasuszz (Feb 15, 2007 7:01 pm) my question is whether all the water eventually cooked off, or is there a possibility of some water residing in my engine somewhere, hurting my performance? i don't want to remove the CAI just to take it to the dealer, but if i need to i will. it seems to be running fine, though i sometimes think i feel some powerloss or something. any ideas? |

As a long time Mazda owner and the owner of a 2004 Mazda 6 V6/5speed, traded in at 60K miles for this 2006 MazdaSpeed6, I have a couple of things to say. The MS6 I own is a piece of junk that has had rear end whine since 1100 miles, has chewed up 2 sets of front tires in 3400 miles, has had a CEL a coupla times, and most importantly, Mazda will not keep their word. I've not driven this car for 6 weeks which is how long Mazda took to decide what to do after renegging on a promise of a buy it back and replace it with another different Mazda. They just decided 2 weeks ago to replace the rear differential and just put another set of tires on it without really knowing just what is chewing them up... This is the supposed final fix before the lemon law kicks in, and I'm praying it does. Dealerships, sales persons, and the district service manager have all been fine. Mazda North America is not to be trusted and will not stand behind their cars. Their customer service center is worthless. This will be my last Mazda (after 6 of them), and the sooner I get rid of it the better. -ticked off in Alabama... |

and now the engine seems a little stronger. Sorry to hear that some people are having problems. So far this Speed6 seems to me to be the most ideal car I have ever owned. It has changed my driving style a bit. With the turbo, it has quite a rush between 3000 and 5000 rpm. I can pass on the highway in a quick burst without having to pre-plan/position my move. Went skiing recently on a day when highways were being closed due to the snow and resulting pileups. AWD (with the right tires) allowed the Speed6 to go around long lines of traffic. I can accelerate on a snow-covered road at the limits of traction; can feel when all four wheels start to loose their grip; then let off just a little on the gas and leave the line of traffic in the other lane behind. Excellent handling/steering. Enjoy the automatic climate control; set and forget. And it is averaging 25 mpg.
