Mazda6 vs Top of the Line Compacts

[Jun aka Pekto]

Ooops, sorry sir Jun

I think that is the photo for the flagship, at the moment, Impreza 2.5 WRX priced at 1.750M.

I just compared the Mazda6 to some top end compacts not by performance alone.

I agree. I test-drove the 3.0 V6 Mazda 6 a couple of years ago and despite being outperformed by a previous-gen Nissan Altima 3.5SE, the Mazda 6 was one of my favorites.

OT
I'd like to test drive a 2008 Impreza 2.5i sedan. I'm a patsy for dual exhausts (which I'm sure the Mazda 6 also has), not to mention the 2.5i's hp/torque of 170 hp/170 lb-ft (230 Nm).
