Hello mps owners, I have joined the forum as I am looking for a new car to give me a smile. And I think a Mazda6 MPS is the one for me. anything to look out for or avoid? I currently drive a honda accord type r with RX8 alloys fitted. Is it worth swapping them onto my MPS when I get it? think it looks more meaty with RX8 rims. Rob.

Personally i think the 6 MPS wheels look better than anything else I've seen on a 6 MPS - including the RX8 wheels. But that's jsut my opinion  And

Have you driven a 6MPS yet. If not, you won't be disappointed.
Things to look out for:
- smoking turbo on extended idle
- snatchy clutch
- vvti problem
- timing chain wear
- rear diff mount
Rather than going over these issues, just do a forum search. There is a wealth of info. in there.
Be aware that all 6MPS registered after 23.03.06 are in Band L for road tax. £200 per year higher.
Best of luck with your search.
