helloooooo all!
i have just bought myself a 2006 Mazda 6 MPS
in 2005 i went for a drive with a very good friend in a mazda dealer principals brand new MPS 6 and was very impressed. now its almost 2011 and i decided to give it a go myself, much to the dismay of that very friend (his dream car, and i got it first :P)
its been a long journey, in 2003-4 i had a WB carbi fed Festiva (bucket of crap), 2004-6 i had a 1994 VR commodore (regret letting that go, it was like new and my father passed it down to me) 2006-8 i had a brand new 2007 plated SP23 hatch in aurora blue (i really really REALLY regret selling that, cause it would be paid for soon if i kept it :P). in 2008 i sold the sp23 for a 2007 BF mkii Fairmont Ghia. beautiful lazy sloth of a car, but thirsty as hell, and i could feel problems coming. hence i offloaded it, and im now sitting in a liquid silver MPS 6
its a hard, firm ride, with hard firm seats, plenty of power (but i already want more) but i love it. i do miss my auto tho (first manual since the WB festiva). the misses has put her foot down now tho, so this car will be mine for the next 5 years until it is paid off
so thanks a bundle for reading my rant, and i look forward to talking more over the forums. for anyone who reads the Ford Forums im on there as IceValk85 as well.
