Summary
What does this car say about you?
hopefully nothing - it looks just like a standard Mazda 6 (only people in the know spot any difference, especially as I've had mine de-badged), which is great. Perfect for the person who doesn't want to look like a boy racer but have a powerfull car.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
generally think its nice and don't tut like they might hav if i'd bought an evo or impreza
Would you buy this car again and why?
yes - its reliable, great to drive, comfy, what's not to like? The only thing is that its quite thirsty but it is worth it!
What are you likely to buy next?
the new MPS when it comes out

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
brilliant! I moved from a diesel barge so it was always going to be good but this is an amazing car - easy to drive, sharp steering, tons of accessible power and the engine loves to be revved.
What's it like to park?
Alright - I've always had big cars and this is smaller than many I've owned. It feels like its got a good turning circle

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
the electrics went awry for a day and then sorted themselves out! The dealer found a problem with the tracking and sorted it out
What's most practical about your car?
good car to drive every day, comfortable and you can pootle around in it all day and then put your foot down - it always has power on tap.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Electric memory seats - the car is fairly focussed on driving and doesn't have too many silly gadgets
