has 105,000 just looking for a good practical DD. 1 owner from AZ. Test drove it and liked it a lot but not sure if I was in love with it. Anyone have experiences with one or own one? Need some advice is all.

Yeah, I had one, for a daily, it works pretty well. Much more comfortable and quiet than an Evo. I'd recommend it.

I dunno. I just remember reading the mazda6's have issues with the auto trannys. I have no idea but something to look into.

If I remember correctly, AJ had to get his MS6 transmission replaced. Plus his turbo seals were puking oil. But if this car has made it to 100k, maybe those parts have been replaced.

The Mazdaspeed 6's only came 6spd manual.

They are decent cars as far as I have found. I was going to buy one this spring, had everything good to go but something didnt feel right and I wanted wait a few days. When I came to finally purchase the car someone had just put a down payment on it. Maybe it was a blessing but I would have enjoyed the car.

It was a 2007, 62k miles, black leather with navigation and asking $13,995. They are not the easiest to find but you can find decent deals with them. Look around before you pull the trigger on this one.

The driveline is the weakest part, tranny and rear diff, the 2.3 Dizi is a great motor. If you don't plan on launching it or beating on it, it'll serve you well from what I've heard.

One of the guys here at work has one, decent car but it hasn't held up real well. I have rode to lunch a few times and here are some squeaks and rattles going on and it just felt tired. I think he has 130k on it and had it since new. I think he said it was a 2006. He gets it dealer service regularily, not sure what he has had issues with. I can check if you want. He doesn't drive it hard either.
