2007 Mazda MAZDASPEED6 Reviews, Pricing & Specs

If you like to drive, this is the perfect car. Great torque power in all six gears. It's very fast and comfortable, but it really shines on a twisty road. Handling and steering are near perfect. Only car I've ever owned that made me smile every time I drove it.

Price: Dealer sticker was 39,900 CAD. I received a grad discount of 500, an "AWD Promotion" rebate of 1250 dollars and X-Plan pricing becasue of a relationship Ford Motors has with my employer a thte time. Performance: Acceleration is what you would expect from a 270hp AWD car - 1/4 mile in 14.0, 0-60 in about 5 seconds and pulls to 140 kph in a few seconds more. Braking 60-0 in 121 feet (best in class) with electronic brake force distribution and huge 126/12.4 inch electric boosted discs. Handling is phenomenal and even when the tires let go the dynamic stability control starts mapping torque and braking to the wheel that need it to keep you going the way your wheel is pointing, all in the blink of an eye. Build Quality: with 45000kms on it I have had no problems at all aside form one - the rear differential whined since I bought it when driving between 70 and 78kph. It was annoying. The dealer replaced the whole rear differential unit under warrenty, no quyestions asked (a value of about 5000 dollars in parts and labour). Other than that its been flawless. Appearance: to ones taste of course. I like it, but hey I bought it so I'm biased. Interior features are up there with something that costs 20,000 dollars more. Cost of Ownership: Depends how you drive it but I get about 9L/100km in the city ("spirited" driving) and about 7.5 - 8.5 on the highway @ 110 - 120 kph. at copnstant 70kph it'll do about 6.5 L/100km. Overall it gets great mileage regardless of how you drive it - particularly for an AWD 270Hp car. Like most AWD cars it is hard on tires. Expect to get about 15,000kms out of a set of tires with a wear rating of 140. Fun Factor: lets just say it can get you in trouble pretty easy. Without a doubt this car has got to be the best winter driving machine out there. With 4 wheel traction control, limited slip, and active torque mapping, electronic brake force distribution and the yaw sensor to allow the car to adjust for understeer and oversteer automatically - you have no excuse to not keep 'er between the ditches.

We needed a second car, due to a longer commute. The car had to be good for freeway commuting, and it had to be fun to drive. Our car also needed to have adequate space for passengers. I mention this, because our other choice was an RX-8, which while good to drive, isn't the best passenger carrying car. Mazda clutches are pretty nice, although the Speed6 has an extra kick. Some say that the clutch on this model is hard to deal with, but I've had no trouble. The only downsides to the car is that: 1) true to Mazda form, sound insulation isn't as solid as I'd like, and 2) the gas mileage is about 22mpg. However, considering that the RX-8 is only 18 or so, I guess this isn't bad.

This car handles better than any car I've driven. Makes my dad's 3 series feel soft. Very fun to drive fast, but even better up in the hills. I am 6'3'' and I fit great. Still has room for the car seats and kids.

It has been a good first car. Clutch can take a bit of getting used to. Love the AWD and the performance out of it. It looks great.

Great fun car with tons of power and torque. AWD is nice and handling is retarded good. Gas mileage is something to be said even though its a 4cyl turbo 6spd manual. I love the mazda quality its not cheap and plastic like most cars these days

If you enjoy driving and are looking for performance at a reasonable price, then this is the car you have been looking for. Leather trim, heated seats, Bose sound system and Mulholland Drive is just what this car was made for. The seats have great lateral support and you can feel the G's in the corners.

Que dire du Mazdaspeed 6... Performances remarquables pour le prix, vraiment confortable, même pour monter en Gaspésie, les sièges sont superbes, un parfait équilibre entre confort et soutien. C'est luxueux et super bien équipé, sans trop flasher. J'adore le look sleeper et les petits détails qui n'interpellent que les connaisseurs. Il y a de l'espace en masse pour 4 adultes et un grand coffre avec les sièges rabatables si on sait comment. Le rouge est vraiment magnifique et l'intérieur noir, gris et aluminium fait très "classe". Par contre, c'est une auto qui ne supporte pas trop d'être battue. La mécanique est tout de même fragile alors il ne faut pas trop la cochonner. Sur la route, on ne se rend pas compte qu'on conduit un mastodonte de 1650kg car toutes les commandes sont nerveuses et réagissent au moindre mouvement, mais quand on embarque sur la piste, c'est une autre histoire. L'auto plonge du devant sous son énorme poids et le sous-virage devient presque irrémédiable. C'est la voiture parfaite pour la route selon moi, mais si vous comptez acheter la version Mazdaspeed pour la piste, oubliez cette idée tout de suite.

Most fun car I have driven. Awsome AWD, great braking, and nice styling. This car is very fast and a blast to drive.

The speed6 is a sedan that lets you enjoy driving a little more. You can keep it stock or unleash power and potential with a few modifications. But keep the oil changes very regular and maintain the car so that it will continue to provide years of enjoyment. If you don't keep an eye on it, then "zoom zoom boom" will happen! This car can be a daily driver, show car, track car, or combination of all. Anything you want to prepare it for it can handle. With less than 11K total cars made, half of which i'm sure are wrecked already, this car will be in high demand over time!
