"not an EVO or STI- but close enough for mature types"---carconnection.com
numbers may tell that's in the same league, but many foreign press said that driving it tells otherwise.

November 6th, 2005 12:57 AM #3Not equal in terms of performance, but I prefer it over an Evo or an STi.
I read that this Mazdaspeed 6 has the same 2.3L engine as our Mazda 6 here in the Philippines. So basically if we turbocharge our local 6, will it be able to also get 274 HP?

probably, but the MS6's engine has a lower compression, so that it can achieve higher boost levels.

20mpg? that's like 9.80 something km/L...
aesthecally, Mz6 2.3 sold here looks better than that of the USDM variant...
almost looks like that of the MS version sans the MT, turbo and awd.

50/50 max power split and FWD biased. Not an EVO fighter in my opinion.
WRX and Mitsu is 45/55 max and RWD biased.

November 6th, 2005 11:01 AM #7its definitely not an Evo or STi fighter. but what it offers is performance for the mature crowd like somebody who is willing to cross-shop from a BMW 3series or Audi A4. After the Turbo Charged Engine and 4WD Drive train the similarities end there.

some pic of the hot Mazdaspeed 6....
Sleek, elegant lines mask the Mazdaspeed 6 sedan's wild side, making it a respectable car to park in the office lot.
Dual exhaust pipes are fitted below the Mazdaspeed 6's rear bumper, and a thin spoiler is mounted on top of the rear deck lid.

Silver pedals and gauge bezels, combined with plenty of red illumination, give the Mazdaspeed 6 an active, sporty look.
The Mazdaspeed 6's upper grille keeps the standard 6's five-point look, while discreetly breathing air to the intercooler.
dang! no manual for any new Mazda car for Phils.
Varta used as replacement battery in German cars ... but they cost double that of Motolite ... not...
Cheaper brands than Motolite but reliable as well
