Traded in the Protege I was working on and picked up something roomy and reliable.

2011 Mazda 6i Sport 6sp
Pros:
-7 miles when I got it
-Love the way it looks
-Plenty of room (I'm 6'5")
-2.5l engine is fun and gets great fuel economy
-6sp transmission is the best one I've ever shifted
-Smooth ride yet handles pretty good

Negs:
-Clutch takes some getting used to. It has a really long throw compared to what I'm used to.
-Brakes are weird, but it's four wheel disc and they stop great.
-it's got some hail damage
-It could use more power, but I guess that's what they make the v6 model for.

So, I love it and it's nice to have another reliable, efficient car.



Just some quick pics I snapped today before work.

Thanks guys, I'm really happy with Mazdas unique stying of it. The first gens looked like an elongated 3 to me.

I heard they have a choppy feel on the ride quality. Is that true?

Well compared to the MS3 it feels like a Cadillac if that's what your talking about. I think the suspension works great. It's dampens enough of the bumps to not feel like your getting thrown off the road, but there is no roll at all. With some different wheels and tires it would definitely rip through the slalom.

Can't do that, bought it that way.

I'm just going to fix the cosmetic stuff, it just really needs the hood, trunk, and for someone to fix the roof.
