sit,evo \> speed 6…

I hear its a great car though… just too much money for what you can buy a evo/sti for. I just love the way those boxter motors sound there amazing…

boost + awd = good

STI and Evo probably have a better aftermarket…

I’ve driven all 3 (other peoples cars that I stole for a few runs hehe). The Mazdaspeed 6 actually has a pretty nice AWD system. Feathering the throttle through a turn you can feel all 4 wheels working to rotate the car around. However the motor was a little laggy and came on with a bang, sorta made it a bitch to control.

If I was going to pick a car just to race/modify I’d go with the EVO. Once modified they seem to do a little better than STi’s on autox & track duty. For daily driving though the STi has a little better low end punch and nicer interior. Honestly between the EVO and STi your splitting hairs, just pick the one you like.

i think they all have a purpose

also remember the EVO & STI are econoboxes on steroids…

the Mazda6 is more upscale… Navi system 7" LCD, Bose, leather(optional) power adjustable seats, not a cheap looking interior, etc…

the others don’t have that.

so it all depends on what you want…

for modding & racing: STI \> EVO \> 6  
for a NICE DD with some baller luxo features: 6 \> STI \> EVO

personally if i was buying a brand new one… id seriously consider a 6… but i’m 30 with a kid, so if i’m paying 25-30K for a car…id rather be getting some nice features.

mazdaspeed 6 is more along the lines of a subi legacy…like i said before…more upscale.

but you can get a big sticker that says

“HEY LOOK @ ME…i got a mazdaspeed 6”

that is the same as getting yellow.
