 I needed a new family car (I have 3 teenage sons) and had a realistic budget to stick to. I had a deposit down on a Honda Si and had taken a new GTI for a spin.  I saw a MazdaSpeed6, looked up the info. on the internet, took the car for a test drive - it was so quick that I scared myself and had to pull over to take a breather with a huge grin on my face.   Tons of power, handles like it's glued, cruises great, interior is spot on, exterior is understated. I like that it is a sleeper.  I drive spirited - can't wait for my next errand.    I have not seen even one other on the road since leased back in 8/06.
