Is it also true that the MK2 hits fuelling problems earlier in modification development which requires mods to the hpfp?

Mark 2 might have all the gadgets but Mark 1 is allegedly faster, but with a few mods that can be achieved in Mark 2.

Mark 1 is also discreet btw, I hope they don't make another 6 and keep them as rare as they are :thumbs:

The Mk2 isn't slower than the Mk1; they just have different gear ratios which makes the Mk1 feel faster. The Mk1 is also slightly more 'raw' to drive, but the Mk2 has a much better chasis due to its greater stiffness and a few other bits ;)

The Mk2 does tend to need the HPFP internals replacing sooner than on a Mk1 when on the modding path, obviously this is only an issue if you intend to mod. Either way though, a Mk1, Mk1 or 6 MPS will all require HPFP internals when/if you mod.

I like the mk1 just as much as the mk2, it's a shame they havnt done a new mazda 6 one. By the end of January I'm hoping to have my own already, I will definetly still come though, always up for having a look at some nice cars. What time do you all get there?

Hi and Welcome to the family.

As said there are plenty of us around Manc and surrounding areas, you cant really go wrong with any model mps providing you dont buy a dog.

Best to prob drive each to see what you prefer.

Also do you know if they have Bluetooth to answer mobile calls etc or are they an extra? My dad has it on his mazda6 sport but I don't know if mps' have it? :)
