If your giving up an Accord and an S for the Mazda I think you'll be disappointed. I agree that the Speed 6 is a great value but IMO Mazda quality does not measure up to Honda. That's exactly why I wound up with the S instead of a MX 5. I drove the Mazda 4 times and I just couldn't put my finger on what it was that I didn't like. I was a terrific car and a great value. I drove the S once and I knew what was missing from the Mazda.

wow.... after reading up on the Cherokee SRT-8... that is a true sleeper right there, totally impressed. Although the 12/15 mpg makes my wallet cringe.

oh one last tihng... trading in the S for the MazdaS6 - two things

1. are you in love with the car? don't let the low price influence you

2. why do you need another 4 door sedan when you still have the accord?

I drove the SRT-8, it's got so much power, but the thing is tiny...I mean if you any bigger than me, you can't really put anyone behind you because of the oversized front seats... Not sure on your "family" plans in the near future.

The Speed 6 is great too...but honestly, i'm waiting for the 335xi in the summer...330whp with software is king....

They're not making a 335xi coupe right? I wish they were. That would be AWESOME!! Even so, I'm thinking of trading the S for a 335i coupe. I just have to get a job first. That's the hard part it seems.
