Hello.....Brett here.
I found my way to ozmps but way of my mid life crisis.
My car history has been fairly boring.
- '78 Escort Van (1 year).
- '88 Feroza (3 years from new).
- '91 B2600 4wd Spacecab (12 years from new).
- '03 Bravo 4wd FreestyleCab (4 years from new).
- '07 Triton 4wd Doublecab (current)
OK, back to the mid life crisis bit.....
I am finally in a position to buy some toys (aka - been given permission to spend by the ministry of fun and finance) and started my mid life crisis with a dual sport motorbike.
Now considering I have owned 4wds for the last 24 years I am looking to purchase my first performance 'street' car....something that can actually handle! Due to my previous ownership and love of the Mazda brand I have looked no further and I am torn between the 6 MPS and the RX-8.
I like the look of the RX-8 and the uniqueness of the rotary, but I am unsure if I can put up with the 'quirkyness' of owning a rotary....or the problems that come from purchasing one second hand!
I like the sleeper nature of the 6 MPS and would enjoy the luxury dual purpose nature of the 6, having a nice performance and comfort mix....plus AWD.
I am slowly working my way through this forum and rx8club trying to gather as much information on the 6 MPS and RX-8 as I can, but if anyone out there in ozmpsclub would like to offer any suggestions or insights regarding each model I would welcome the input.
Brett
