i’m not suprised that the 2.3 is slow its only 160hp right? what i don’t understand is why mazda lists the V6 for having 215hp and why the ford fusion lists it for 221 i doubt anything is different on the engines. while its not a huge power maker they do ahve a good suspention and brake after market, but just like any car teh V6 doesn’t get the modders love.
