Congrats on your new ride & be careful with that 272 HP.
I bought mine on 9/8 now 1500 + miles & loving it more & more!

I saw an 09 S for the first time today. Pretty quick. Just not quite quick enough (eekfu)(thumb)

Nice car though.

its faster than all the cars in its class how much faster it needs to be?

[alexelie]

as fast as an STI!! jk...but seriously, these cars weight a lot so 272 doesnt make this car monster but i know they pull real nice, my dad has an 04 accord v6...not as fast as the new ones but not bad at all.

[Silver Amputee]

great buy this is a great car

Any owners of the previous 6 who've bought the new one? Wondering how they compare in the eyes of people who've owned both.

[DaleNixon]

The new 6 has really grown on me. But damn is it begging for some new wheels!

[Smooth1]

Had mine for almost a week and love it.

Nobody comes on here much I guess

me & i like the new 6 better.



Had a 2005 V6.
Like this one for fit and finish / space(in back) better.
Miss the V6 though,I4 for better milage.

[wannabe]

its starting to grow on me. i still like the ms6 and JDM new 6 way better though...

[Woodie36]

well we both have been waiting for new cars and for the first time we both found ones that we loved. His and hers 09 GT3 and 09 GT6 and so far (under 200 miles) i'm still feeling the need to control the urge to just go for a ride to no where. I usually save that for motorcycle rides!

My girlfriend just took delivery of a S Touring with Bose/moonroof package last night.

Being a MS6 owner and having driven/sat in both, I think it's a great car. It does need a few changes (wheels, transmission, etc.) but for a good sporty sedan, this is a great choice.

ive had my 6 gt v6 for about a month now and i hate it... coming from a speed 6 to this car kinda sucks...i wish mazda made it possible to get the v6 with a 6speed...def. disappointed in my purchase... oh well, hopefully a speed 6 will come out sooner or later

The 09 Mazda 6 is definately not a Speed 6 replacement. I love the new 6, but definately not aimed at the same buyer as the Speed.

Yup. The I4 is peppy enough if you row-your-own. The V6 is way overpriced considering it doesn't have a clutch :(

Anyhoo . . . "me too" on the just got one topic . . .

So, is this the *REAL* forum, or what? I found another one that looked pretty popular but it's dead over there. I had a bunch of questions (after reading the manual) but it didn't seem anyone was much around the other place.

Unfortunately, I couldn't get mine without that awkward half-thought-out stereo (Bose). Ordered the Workshop and Wiring Diagram (love how they call the ETM a "diagram" . . . hope it's not one run-on diagram :o ).

Otherwise, I'm loving the new car. She's a pretty lady dressed in red ;)

I took my '09 6s Touring down to the track and got a 14.9 with it. I can likely do better as it was my first time. It also corners very well and handles better (for me) then a 5-series BMW I test drove.

yeah i know, but my wife is happy that she can drive my car too.. so i guess thats alright!! (cheers2)

i did.. and at first i liked it, but i think its the whole manual party that i miss!!

I would agree, however (imo) the stock 18's are pretty nice! A guy I met just bought an 09 speed3 and said he would be interested in buying mine.

It wouldn't surprize me if Mazda came out with a speed6 in 2011. They don't need it right now as the 6 is even or better with the competition.

Just purchase a M6 S GT. Bose and moonroof. The engine is really outstanding for the cost and when considering all the technology that the cars has there is no competition if you want to haul a family of 4 and still have a sporty feel with a lot of bells and whistles. Traded in a VW passat 2002 V6 and test drove the following (all V6's and 2009's): Camry, Lincoln MKS(because it has the same engine as the M6 S). Maxima SV, Acura TL. Loved the Maxima but there was an $8K delta is cost. The MKS was surprisingly sporty if I was 5 years older (I am 50) I would have purchased. One of my kids will get the S GT in about 4 years. The TL did nothing for me, above average for many things but nothing to grab me to justify the purchase (although quality history was a strong consideration). I refused to look at Chrysler or GM-I am already paying taxes to support them so why give them more $. Anyway, politics aside the S GT is very enjoyable. FYI, including trade-in out the door $24K (incl, tax, tag, etc)!!! That is value.

Mazda FTW!
