tulo laway ko sa 6 na to...
di na pala fwd to,ano kaya ilalaban ng camry at accord d2?
same category na ba to ng subaru 4wd sedans?

[nugundam93]

this isn't gonna be in the same category as the impreza WRX and LanEvo though. :D

kasabayan niya siguro yung Legacy ng subaru...and the old galant VR-4.

Mga magkano kaya kung dadalhin dito...? :D

[Camgen6]

Mazdaspeed 6
274 * 5500 HP
280 * 3000 Peak torque (lb-ft)
28,555 USD

Legacy GT
250 HP
250 lb-ft of torque at 3,600 rpm
28,795 USD

sa spec mukhang mas ok yung 6, pero kung ride characteristics, mas maganda siguro legacy gt. pero we'll never know, baka maganda din ang handling ng mazda..

Mazdaspeed 6 versus Subaru Legacy GT spec B:

http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...ticleId=109487

0-60mph
Mazdaspeed 6 >> 6.1 secs
Legacy GT >> 5.7 secs

1/4 mile
Mazdaspeed 6 >> 14.3 secs
Legacy GT >> 14.1 secs

Slalom
Mazdaspeed 6 >> 68mph
Legacy GT >> 67mph

Skidpad
Mazdaspeed 6 >> .86g
Legacy GT >> .85g

60-0mph Braking
Mazdaspeed 6 >> 120 feet
Legacy GT >> 130 feet

Straight-line accelerations belongs to the Legacy GT with its abundant torque (thanks to its bigger engine) but handling belongs to the Mazdaspeed 6 with its lack of body roll during the slalom run. The overall winner was the Mazda btw.

actually, the 6 has more torque than the the legacy GT...maybe the legacy is quicker because it's lighter and geared more aggressively?

[wren]

quite the sleeper...no ridiculous wings and hood scoops (not that they're bad things, ), just pure performance.

wag nang asahan na dadating dito yan. tinitipid tayo ng car manufacturers dito eh.

kung folding rear seats nga lang di pa maikabit ng honda philippines sa civic, yan sa mazda pa kaya?

[mfo]

Sigrurado na di darating yan, Ung mazda 6 standard lang ata.

[al_motor]

mazda can't even offer a manual transmission here.

hehehe! ASA pa tyo! :p

who cares? they'll never bring those in. the local automotive industry dictates that we should be mulling over cheaped-out econoboxes.

err...

Honda Accord 3.0L V6, Toyota Camry 3.0L V6, Hyundai Sonata 3.3L V6, Nissan Cefiro 3.0L V6, Mazda6 2.3L

all of these are priced between P1.3M-P1.8M and have enough horsepower for Philippine roads and to break the 200kph mark. the fastest of these (the Accord) will go to 100kph in around 7 secs and the slowest (the Mazda6) will do it under 9 secs.

until mid-size sedans become the mainstream vehicle here, I don't see any reason why to pout on the absence of performance models (such as the Mazdaspeed 6).

and oh - if you are still complaining about the performance of those above mentioned vehicles... any vehicle is virtually available here in the Philippines.. heck, a Carrera GT is even available here.

its not just getting to 200kph, its how quick you get to 200kph+... Even an all motor 1.6L sedan can break 200kph with its speed limiters removed.

the fastest of these (the Accord) will go to 100kph in around 7 secs and the slowest (the Mazda6) will do it under 9 secs.

a modified all motor 92 Sentra 1.6L can do 0-100kph in 8.8 seconds on street tires.

Errr... precisely.

How long would you suppose a 1.6L sedan (save for the SIR) to reach 200kph? Or how about its handling characteristics above 180kph? Whereas those midsize sedans can comfortably cruise all day at 200kph you'll be fighting hard to keep a standard 1.6L sedan on a straight line even at 180kph.

a modified all motor 92 Sentra 1.6L can do 0-100kph in 8.8 seconds on street tires.

Modified... 'nuff said.

Plus, the point that I was driving at in posting that is that we are getting here in the Philippines a fair amount of car variety & options given the low annual new car sales that we have.

there is always hope in the grey market imports.
