Interior tomorrow.

And in its defence, the Camry is driven by a 70yo man, but he doesn't wear a hat. :p
 
Love the colour.

I've always liked the 6, just a shame (imo) that it's FWD.

Before anyone says, I'm aware of the MPS, but that doesn't count lol
 
Almost considered buying one of those a year ago :nod: only in estate guise... I'm narf and I approve this message car.
 
Very nice, not as boring and standard as the Camry in the garage at least :p

I dread to think how hard is to play I spy with my little eye with you, Hbriz.

The car looks great! I really like the older 6. Doesn't look bad or dull to me :D
You can always turn to modifying ;)
 
It's pretty! I like the blue.
 
Very nice car in a very good-looking color.
What engine? etc?
 
Love the color. Overall, it's a nice good looking car, too bad it's so underrated, at least, here where I live.
 
Glad to see one of those that are not grey!
A nice car indeed:)
 
Great car, the Zonda will have to wait :p

Always liked the Mazda 6, and from what I've heard they're great to drive as well.

I'm envious!
 
Yay, more blue Japanese cars, and it has the correct no. of pedals, too! :mrgreen: I really like the 6's too. I was considering a base spec Mazda 3 for a while, but I was unable to find one that didn't stretch my budget too much, so random Jazz (really, they seem to be really quite hard to find used, esp. my model) it was. :sigh:

I'll get around to posting my stupid silvery-blue box one day, but first...better camera, secondly, cleaner car! (impossible with the sunny/rainy/sunny/rainy weather here right now).

Well, my first FWD car. It is fun and I do enjoy it. It does have some tragic understeer in the wet though.

They do have some understeer, but less so than competing offerings. Still, that's why I tried to sneak under your car to install that big rear sway. Seriously, I'd take a look around and see if you can find one within budget, I think it'd greatly improve your experience (especially if you know RWD cars).
 
Nice interior.
 
My dad had a Mazda 6. Excellent car, in every way, if not a bit rumbly on the motorway (he had a pre-facelift version). The 2.0l had some decent horsepowers, fun to drive, spacious, comfortable to sit for long cruises..

Only problem with these is, that they can't handle the Finnish weather. His started rusting after 2 years of ownership.
