Paradoxx Colossal Member Member 5,049 Member For: 20y 5m 14d Gender: Male Location: Perth, WA Posted 27/09/05 11:34 PM Share Posted 27/09/05 11:34 PM Looks like a nice upgrade to the already nice Mazda 6... I reckon this will do well but I think the second model might be the one to wait for (ie the series 2 or Mk II kinda variant)... see what you think.http://www.mazda.com.au/mazda6mps/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality would make the BA look like it was put together by gormless dwarfs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venom XR6 Member 1,460 Member For: 21y 9m 12d Location: Geelong Victoria Posted 28/09/05 07:10 AM Share Posted 28/09/05 07:10 AM Even though its AWD its one of those front wheel biased systems that will only send a maximum of 50% torque to the rear wheels under extreme conditions. Really needed to be a 40/60 front/rear split like rear biased AWDs like 911 Turbo etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be far ahead of an N/A BA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F6 RAPID Formerly Turbo6 Donating Members 2,332 Member For: 22y 30d Location: North Brisbane Posted 28/09/05 10:10 AM Share Posted 28/09/05 10:10 AM (edited) It would be a very good car. I believe you guys fail to see how good this chassis actually is - not eveything is about a straight line......It is actually entertaining to go around corners quickly, to me at least. The magazines rave about it for a reason and the build quality has to be better than my Typhoon at least!
