    Would this be a step down?

    That's pretty much what I'm thinking.....the only problem is that I'm itching for something new and mazda failled to deliver a speed6 replacement. If the speed3 was AWD I would have been on that in a heart beat. Even if the new 6 with the V6 had come in AWD I would have gotten that (even...

    Would this be a step down?

    What do you guys think? I have a '06 speed 6 gt fully loaded. I'm thinking about the '10 speed 3. Do you think this is a step down even though the 3 is newer. (and yes, I do want to hear from the bias 6 owners:)

    Hmmm...I didn't know the speed6 can break 150.

    I've done 148 but lost steam and track. http://www.katu.com/news/local/53413767.html I wonder if this guy is on our board. Let's hope not.

    Smart key Help!

    I have found that when my smart key starts acting up it's because the contact "prongs" to the battery got squished flat (probably from being in my wallet under my fat a$$). Periodically, I have to bend them back into place witha micro flathead screw driver so that they make better contact...

    In Tokyo right now - no plans yet

    So far, hanging out in tokyo has been an out of this world experience. I did just go and test ride a 6 here. The JDM one is badass. I like the look and size alot. too bad ours is bloated and soft. Still no comparison to my speed6 though. My buddy is going to take me to a Mazda museum that...

    All-Wheel Drive

    I'm out here in beaverton (portland sub) and I've seen quite a few. Atleast 10 different ones in the last couple of months. I saw the hottest speed6 just yesterday though........Hot chick late20s/early30s driving a black one. All was stock but some reason it stood out:)

    Bouncy clutch engagement

    Thanks guys. This will be my next approach. I've only only got 4 or 5 chances to get this right before I start running out of dealers in the metro area and have to start heading out of town. Still keeping my fingers crossed.

    Bouncy clutch engagement

    They are trying to tell me that there is nothing wrong with my car. What BS. I then brought up the details about the TSB and immediately the service manager was like your car doesn't fall within the Vin #. I was since when did #33XX not fall between the numbers 0001 and 6359? What a croc...

    Bouncy clutch engagement

    The car is getting looked at as I type. Man I hope they figure out what the hell is wrong with it. I didn't mention anything about the TSB. I will though if they find "nothing" wrong. I took it for a test drive with the service manager and he verbally agreed with me that something doesn't...

    Bouncy clutch engagement

    My appointment is in the morning. If it needs the work, then I'll get that scheduled as soon as freaking possible. Thank you everyone for the input. I wonder if I should I bring the TSB details with me when I take it in to get looked at. I hope these guys at the shop can figure it out. I...

    Bouncy clutch engagement

    Hey guys, thought you might be able help me out with this one. Two weeks ago, the clutch became very sensitive (more so than before). Anytime I do any spirited shifting at all it appears that the engagement of the clutch it is very "on"/"off". There is nothing linear about the engagement...
