Speed 6?

[Its_jay_allen]

What do y'all think of the Mazdaspeed 6? All over forums I'm seeing that it's totally unreliable but the looks of the car are keep NSA growing on me just like the mazdaspeed 3 now I'm unsure which one to truly get. Would help if anyone can list any pros or cons of both or which is overall best

Pro: rare, AWD, looks cool

Con: parts probably hard to find, expensive to fix and maintain, likely requires a fair amount of maint

As a second car you can work on, probably cool, but I'd think you should budget fairly high for parts, and not have it as a daily.

Only reason I still have my MS3 is because it's days of being a reliable daily are likely done, and I have two other dailies.

Having had 2 MS3s and 2 MS6s I can say that in reliability MS6 and MS3 are very comparable. Parts availability is also about the same, so I wouldn't worry about that too much. It really boils down to what you are planning on doing with it: if you're not planning on going crazy with it then they are about the same cost-wise. If you have plans to do a build with significant power increase, then there's more to spend on the MS6 but it also has more fun potential.
