Hello everyone! I'm new here, have been a member for a few months to scope out the car etc. I have put my deposit down on a red 56 plate 6 MPS from a Mazda garage! Whoop! The car has 46k on the clock and looks pretty mint! Pre purchase they are changing.. - Brake fluid as it doesn't look like it has been done in 2 years - Front Discs and Pads as they are 95% worn - Rear window tints as one side has been scratched - Removing stone chips etc. The car will come with one years Mazda warranty as it is an approved car. Also get break down cover accident care etc. I have been driving a Toyota Celica 190 for the last 3 years which I have spent a fair bit on making it nicer, coilovers, stage 2 clutch and cams etc. I'm going to miss the small 3 door coupe feeling, but am excited for the 6! Always love a new owners forum so will get some pics and a thread up when I have picked her up! If anyone has any suggestions or whatever, please feel free to say! I have a friend moving in with me and due to the money we will be saving, I have bought a 56 6 MPS and he has just picked up a 2011 3 MPS. Yay! Alex

 Atleast you can drive yours in the coming winter months  But come summer you'll be left behind  Unless you start modding  What did you pay ?

Yeah that's what I keep saying to him! Though the 6 felt quicker in the test drive. Will have to get them along side each other.
I will be modding I'm sure! ha ha!
It was £5700. I didn't think that was bad with a years full warranty?

Nice car you will love it. Best mod i have found so far in my 1st 6 months is defo the B12's, totaly transformed the car from a big bargh (Had A3 go-kart before) to a proper agile beast.

Brake fluid only needs changing every 2 years, according to Mazda.

Welcome along! I swapped from a Celica 190 to a 6 MPS as well. The 6 is a fair bit quicker standard, and with mods mine is now MUCH quicker than the old Celica, still a great car though.

Hello to the forum. Are the 6 mps permanent AWD or is it electronically controlled with ATS and all that stuff?

There was an excellent vid years ago where someone rigged a guage to measure the power going to the rear drive. It is hugely variable and never rests.
