    New Guy needs some input

    I think it is a great compromise of luxury and performance. The 0-60 time is deceptive because (like most cars with a 6-speed) it requires a shift to 3rd. I'm not sure what kind of times people are getting, but that extra shift will make it appear slower than some other cars when that isn't in...

    "News" on a VW site turns ultra-dumb!

    I was also over there defending the Speed 6. I did want to point out that "The Car Lounge" section of that website is not in any way affiliated with VW. So it's not really a "VW Site".

    My Mazda Dealership is trying to screw me?

    Screw em, like everyone else said, if things were reversed they would just laugh at you, I suggest you do the same. It's funny hearing somebody go from an RX-8 to an MS6 because I often think about doing the opposite switch. I'm 23 and single so it's not like I need the space of my MS6. But I...

    totalled my 6 this morning

    I'll start out by saying it's good that you're ok, but you've said MANY things in this thread that make me believe you have some misconceptions about driving. And don't take this as some old guy giving you a lecture, I'm a young guy too and up until a couple years ago was into street racing and...

    Look what the mailman brought me today!

    Finally, after customs holding the damn thing for over a week, my package has arrived: Sorry, I was too excited to take pics during the install process. But here is what it looks like in the car: I got sick of waiting for the Top PSI gauge pod so I made my own. Took about 3 days using...

    Talk me into, or out of and MS6

    I LOOOOOOOOOOVE my Speed 6. If I had to complain about something, it would be the clutch, i'm pretty much used to it but it's still a bit of an annoyance. Go again and test drive an 07, I hear it's much different. The MS6 is IMO, the best car for the money, hands down. However, that being...

    So You Can Roll Down All the Windows w/ the Remote?

    In a non-GT put the key in the doorlock, turn clockwise and hold it there, this will lock the doors and roll up all 4 windows.

    So You Can Roll Down All the Windows w/ the Remote?

    I can't believe that this is a new thread. It has been well established for over a year that you can put the windows down with the remote, but not up. If you're having problems with accidentally putting the windows down, make sure you have had this TSB performed...

    main gripe you MS6 owners have?

    Well honestly, I mean look at this post: I just have one question: DID YOU EVEN TEST DRIVE THE CAR? Seriously, did you go to the dealership, close your eyes and just sign whatever they put in front of you?

    main gripe you MS6 owners have?

    My main problem is the other owners. I've never seen so much whining on a forum.

    Possiable MS6 Owner

    Consider yourself lucky that you don't have to buy a car in Canada. I paid the equivalent of $35,000 US.

    Potential MS6 Owner needing some advice coming from a S60R

    No, if it's your second language then that's fine. Anyways, what the dealer is telling you is total BS. I test drove an MS6 no problem and I am 22 year old punk wearing a baseball cap.

    Manual Transmission Question

    I had the same problem you did trying to get into 1st gear. The solution is simple: clutch in, shift to 2nd, then 1st, clutch out. This solved the problem for me and makes downshifting to 1st much easier (only do this at VERY low speeds). As far as a very slight grind when shifting into 2nd...

    I think you'll be ok unless you plan to tow from the front and back at the same time (butt)

    Just got back from my very first oil change at the dealership

    Alright, they towed the car to the dealer. The dealer told me that it was 1.5L low, just enough to not show on the dipstick (of course I knew going in that that's what they were gonna say). So they topped it up and said everything should be fine. I doubt it was low enough to cause damage, as the...

    Just got back from my very first oil change at the dealership

    I guess one thing I should mention is that I'm actually leasing the car. I think this gives me a few more options. I'd say IDEALLY the only way to be SURE I am protected is to cancel the lease and have them take the car. Second to that, keep my lease going but give me a brand new one. I...
