Commodore Sv6 Traded In After 4 Months

[Honest Gaza]

Took on a new Lease in November of last year (Late model camira SV6) and have gradually grown to detest it over the last 4 months.

I liked (and still like), the look of the car's interior and exterior but wasn't happy with some of the "features". The two biggest highlights for me were the Bluetooth and the Roof-mounted DVD Player....and that just ain't right.

I will admit that perhaps my choice of Manual gearbox was an error on my part (Sydney's M2 is the natural enemy of the Manual gearbox), and undoubtedly, this had a lot to do with my discontent. But there were several other things that annoyed the crap out of me so I made the decision to terminate the Lease early, and would rather loose a bit of $$$ now as opposed to "suffering" for another 2 1/2 years.

I am now the proud owner of a 2008 Mazda 6 Luxury Sports Hatch.

So I've gone from an Aussie "piece of sh*t" to a piece of "Jap crap"....and I couldn't be happier

(and of course, I still have the XR6T)

nice. a friend from work is getting a SV6 ute she's a Expensive Daewoo girl and goes on how there friends water pump went in the ford. I told her to make she she keeps her old car so she can get to work when her ute is getting the recalled or fixed.

if I was going to get anthing it would be a mazda my old car was a mazda. im not fussed on FWD but they look very nice and drive well and mazda have always been good. I seen the new mazda 3 turbo it would be nice to see a mazda 6 AWD.

mazda 6 awd? isnt that wat the mps model is. I like mazdas too. I think the new mazda 6 is sexy. but if I was to buy a jap car id go for a honda. I have a 1983 honda civic as my second car that I purchased for $250 and it has never let me down also its surprisingly fun to drive and some of the things on the car are ahead of there time

I've got a Honda too. An Accord Euro. Couldn't regard a Honda high enough. They're an awesome car and with the $5000 Honda racing suspension on my one, it out handles my F6!

I've been so tempted to get the front and rear badges, that's all that's missing. It's a complete Euro-R lookalike. I get some massive compliments from Japanese dudes and Honda fans alike. It sounds awesome with a POD on it too. Farkin screams

If the amount of unused button locations is anything to go by (even on the "top model" Luxury Sports Hatch)....there must be some real nifty features on the overseas model of the Mazda 6.

Honest Gaza - what is the mazda 6 like to drive around in? New shape right, 2.5L? liftbacks are a great shape I had a tx5i telstar they are a great car.

R-Spec - is yours not the 2L Euro-R?? so its the 2.4?? still a great car which ever way.

My cousin has the previous shape Jap delivered accord Euro-R the 2.2. I never used to like hondas till I drove a manual high power Vtec. they are great little engines.

Reading the latest Wheels who stated that there will not be a New Mod MPS because the yanks dont want it.

Apparently the US version is going to have a 3.7 l V6 the same one as the CX9 (same engine that will go in the falcon) They believe that there is no point bring out the MPS because it produces similar power and the fact that they can get more power. What the worst part is is the the V6 is a US only car (Longer in length and wider US ONLY) at this point so once again the yanks have f*cked it for us
