Executive Express
Mazda 6 MPS
2.3 litre Turbo
AWD
190kw 380nm
6 speed manual
Lovely car to drive, keep it under 2000 rpm and it can be very docile, love the AWD very easy to launch when required, extremely quick through the first 2 gears, will beat most cars to 80kmh. Did i mention the AWD? this thing is amazing in the wet, though I tend to leave the traction control on because once she goes she's gone.
The first day I had it I took it out semi bush, switched the traction control to off, bearing in mind my previous car was a Falcon Wagon so I was well versed in oversteer. I took off from a T intersection, the front wheels gripped, the rear wheels danced over the loose gravel - and i did an uncontrolled U-turn on the spot, scared the shyte out of me.
Might potentially do some turbo and exhaust work if i keep it a while but no plans as yet.
Love the relative anonymity of the package which is why I bought it, my first preference was definitely not red though.
