Hi everyone! Test drove a Mazda 6 today, Base 4 cylinder with 5-speed manual, and had a question for everyone. I felt that the the Mazda 6 with the 4 cylinder & 5-speed was underpowered. Does anyone else who has driven one feel the same way or am I imagining things? Even when I floored it the car didn't have much pickup until it was between 3,500 and 4,000 RPM. Is the power to weight ratio bad? How much does the Mazda 6 weigh? I was strongly considering buying the 6 but now I'm not so sure. The 6's styling, braking, and handling (I took a 180 degree curved on-ramp at 80 MPH with ease!) is awesome. The only thing that disappointed me was the power. I feel that the Protege's 2 liter has more pickup. Am I wrong? Any thoughts would be great. Thanks.
