The Mazda6 has officially rolled into Winnipeg.
Jim Gauthier Mazda just got one in today (5 spd. 4 cyl.)

I love this car!!

 

Kuba, you're not just teasing us like you did with the MazdaSpeed sighting now are you?? J/K!!

I still think the MazdaSpeed is a sweet-*** car and would look real nice in my driveway!!

 

Kuba, any chance of seeing some pics?

 

Ill put pics up on Monday.

Have a good weekend guys!

 

Damn, was it there when I was...... Would have loved to see it. Ah well, always can see it on my next trip.

Speaking of parts, how much would it be to order the cool door sills that were on the white protege? I think those would be pretty sweet to have; and wouldn't mind picking up a set of them. Question though, are they powered? and how hard would they be to install?

 

They come with a set of wires, and I think they get hooked right up to your fuse box. It would be pretty difficult to install them yourself, and it takes about 2 hours.
Our price is $249 installed.

 

I know that several people on the forum have done the installation themselves...I doubt that it is too difficult. Certainly no harder than installing an amp or HU.

I watched the mechanic install them, I thought it looked a little difficult, but Im sure I could have figured it out. (too lazy)

 

octane here to save the day, here are the pics of the mazda 6..its the i4 in a 5 speed manual. has 160 hp and is such a toight ride...toight like a toigar






and heres what i want next..lol...same color as the 6

 

The truck that dropped the Mazdaspeed here in Saskatoon had a silver Mazda6 with the 17" alloys to drop in Winnipeg. Didn't ask which dealer, but should be there later this evening.

 

That car went to Destination Mazda. I dont know why they got it before us, god knows they dont deserve it.

 

becasuse destination > you lol ....go destination lol

 

now we have 4 of these cars..... who wants one?

 

seems that the 6's are popping up everywhere...i noticed that gerrys has a laser blue mica one out front when i drove andi to school this morning... i wouldn't buy one unless it had that gt sport package...i think that the base models look too plain

 

Here in Calgary, there are quite a few 6's floating around. I was at Sunridge Mazda this weekend and took out a 4-cylinder 5-spd model and the V6, but in automatic form.

I was surprised at how easily the salesman let me take it out. Most places I've been to lately require the salesman to come with you, but this guy basically handed me the keys and said, "have fun!"

I actually felt that the 4-cylinder 5-speed was much peppier than the V6 automatic. I even tried pushing the V6 auto in the "manumatic" (or whatever) mode and still thought the 4 cylinder was more exciting. The dealer said that there were about 5 manual V6's coming in this week and to check back then if I wanted to test drive one of those.

I also really like the look of the car...And we got plenty of finger pointing and could see people mouthing, "look at that!"

Overall, I really liked the 6...however, my fiancee was NOT a fan of the interior, especially the centre console being all "futuristic" looking.

IMO, Mazda has done a great job here!
