2005 Mazda 6 MPS (Mazdaspeed) review from Australia and New Zealand
"The ultimate street sleeper"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing so far.
General comments?
I thought I'd post this as someone who recently purchased this car and give my impressions as opposed to gripes:
Its not loud, doesn't sprout wings and chrome everywhere and it looks just like any other Mazda 6 except to an expert eye. But when you give it some throttle it will really go, fast.
I found the interior to be fairly spacious and the seats and ride compliment each other well. I drove the car home 130 kilometers from the dealer and didn't feel any worse for wear.
My only gripe so far is that on our roads at highway speeds the tire noise is louder than the stereo, but that's not really a problem with the car itself, rather the choice of tyres.
