Motorweek Video of the 2006 Mazda Mazdaspeed6

My dad's got one, but it got damaged during the hailstorm we had last year. I hope he gives it to me and doesn't decide to trade it in.

I just bought one yesterday. I absolutely love it. It is the fastest,best handling car i have ever driven. I cant wait for my CAI.

Got mine for 2 months now and didn't regret for a second!

I'm so jealous! I'm saving up for mine now! Did you get the sport or the gt?

Sport or gt? I think you need to do your homework again? The mazda 6 Sport and gt are total different cars as the Mazda Speed6 ( MPS or Atenza).

No bro, I think you need to do your homework again. I'm asking which trim you got of the Speed 6. There is the base sport trim and the more expensive grand touring version, with the xenon headlights, nav and leather seats. I wasn't asking about the regular 6 at all.

How do I tell if I have the base or GT?

GT has xenon headlights and pop-up nav in the dash. The base Sport model doesn't.

This car sucks. They totally scraped the idea. Look this car was aimed when it first came out at the evo and sti. Everything about this car was below that of sti and evo. There isnt one thing better about this car over the really rally cars. I cant stand when you speed owners think your car is anywhere near on par with an evo or sti. I like the mazda line I just dont think they are that great in performance as some of their fan boys would say.

My best bud has one. sick car. im looking to buy one also

Ran a 2:34.4 around Suzuka in this car on GT5. Faster than an AP1 S2000, '98 Audi S4, even the Mazda RX8. This car is no joke.

i have one too and im in love <3 mazda always has good acceleration but this car? holy shitttt.

Agreed. I would say the Legacy GT is what the Speed6 was aimed at, or more comparable to at the time.

I'd buy a $10,000 Speed 6 over a $20,000 Speed 3 any day of the week.

Im shocked at how nicely it slaom-ed.

ya probably the old v6 stangs lol

The MSP3 needs AWD. Too much torque steer in the front wheels. With the new Mazda 3 chassis going a full skyactiv tune up in the 2014 model. I really hope they get an AWD variant. That'd be the hot hatch to buy. Competing with the VW Golf R very well I'd say.

It´s a pitty that Mazda doesn´t produce speed6 for current generation. Sport Mazdas have much better interior, suspention, brakes and MPG than Mustang, Camaro or Challenger.

Wish they made the new 6 and especially the 2014 wagon in a speed6 model, add in AWD and a 6 speed manual would be an awesome and exclusive ride...my recently purchased and rare 2006 '5speed manual' V6 GT wagon is a really nice balanced package...Mazda knows how to build cars for drivers.

Well its no surprise even Jeremy Clarkson pointed out that most Mazda engineers were all ex race car drivers, hence the pedigree zoom zoom ;)

Calm down amigo. I own a 3.0 Mazda6 and while it isn't as fast, it still feels more nimble. Both are great cars

I hope Mazda will bring the mazdaspeed 6 for the new redesigned 6 with more power and a whole bunch of goodies to go along with it. All wrapped in AWD. Come on Mazda make it happen

The Aus and Eu versions are called the MPS but are still excellent none the less. This car can be tuned up to 300Kw's!

Please make a next gen MS6. Use the turbo diesel motor. A lot of people want you to make it. It will sell big!!

There is a mazda 6 wagon. Look it up #abovelawl

He wrote MS6 wagon. We know Mazda made a wagon... not a Mazdaspeed one though.

My dad has one... I love it.

Don't look that good but damn a lot of hp tho :)

I owned one of these "Mazdarati's" from 2009-2011. It was a velocity red mica Sport model. I absolutely loved it; it was such a fun car to drive/own. I put 40,000 miles on her in those two years. I bought a set of tires and changed the oil - that's it. I got looks from Legacy 2.5GT owners and 3 series drivers all day (and every day). It was and still is the underdog for mid 2000's "bargain" performance!

wolf in sheep skin

That car is rare around here. And damn it can move.

I ran one in a 07 3.5 6speed Altima. Stayed pretty even. I was shocked!

The video quality of this video fucking sucks. Call me back when you get rid of 144P.

I bought a red 2007 Mazda MazdaSpeed 6 back in April. This car absolutely gets my heart racing everytime I drive it. For those of us that wish it will be reincarnated in the newest generation Mazda 6, it will not be the same - Electric steering, more electronic systems in place, more refinement which will make it lose its rawness. This car has its weak points which the aftermarket has support parts for. I would say if you want an AWD sedan that will excite you for every drive, but one that is completely or mostly stock and fix the broken parts over time.

great car

their videos are so pathetic

this is better than a subaru wrx sti

Mazda’s are the most understated cars. Great products!!

I havr one and i love it! I am the only one who got this car in my town with 180k people :D

I think this car could look amazing with a OEM Aero kit

Why tf didn't they give the CX-7 the same tq/hp numbers....

These are totally slept on, friggen sick cars

People who are saying this competes with the Legacy GT or something have never driven one of these. I own an EVO VIII and a MS6 and generally the MS6 is MUCH faster except on hairpin turns. Would smoke a WRX. Mazda's numbers they give for 0-60 and quarter mile etc are laughable in how gentle they are with the car. Seriously, drive one of these. It's a beast. Ultimate sleeper.

My dream car😭

And it will rust out before you reach 100k miles

oh wait i have one of those

The only problem with this car is the gas mileage. 19 city 25 highway... Why not get a car like a mustang V6 that puts out more power (305 hp) and gets better gas mileage 19 city 29 highway. Then again, This was in 2006 when that car with that engine didn't yet exist.

hello in 2022

Mw watching this in 2023! wish i was born a bit earlier! the modern car market sucks! too much granny mom SUV cars and i dont like German cars like BMW! wish could buy one mazdaspeed back in 2006

owned one of these from 2015-2017. one owner, titanium silver sport. my first manual car had full bolt ons by the time i sold it. loved the car.incredible handling - the differential was out of the RX8, and the thing could plow through 10+ inches of snow when we had a couple blizzards in the washington dc area during my ownership. unfortunately, the car would constantly break rear diff mounts (including upgraded ones) even when i never, ever dumped the clutch. it got frustrating having to continuously replace the mounts, so i sold it for $1500 more than i paid for it ( I paid 10.5K from a jeep dealership)
