Improved for 2006, this Mazdaspeed 6 kicks it up A LOT being a rare Grand Touring Sedan for sale right now in Hawaii. While the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord are designed for mass appeal or, stated more cynically, for people who don't like cars, the MazdaSpeed 6 is designed for the driving enthusiast.

Mazdaspeed 6, as the company calls it, is not for everyone, and that's just fine with Mazda. The MazdaSpeed 6 looks leaner than its competitors and the driving experience backs that up with agile handling and responsive engines.

The MazdaSpeed 6 feels tighter in corners and holds the road better than Camry, Accord or Nissan Altima. It's lighter on its feet and stops quicker. In short, it's a better driver's car. This one has a Four-cylinder turbo engine, with a six-speed manual gearbox.

The 2006 model year brings revisions to the entire Mazdaspeed 6 line. Mild styling revisions give it a cleaner look. New front seats are designed for greater comfort and support, new premium leather, a new center console, new door panels, and other features make the cabin more comfortable and more convenient. P> Fuel economy has been improved. The brakes have been upgraded for 2006 with bigger ventilated front disc brakes designed to reduce stopping distances, resist brake fade and improve pedal feel. Also, 18-inch wheels and tires are on this Grand Touring Edition.

This 2006 Mazdaspeed6 is a turbocharged, all-wheel-drive sedan carefully tuned by Mazda's performance division. This Mazdaspeed6 offers impressive levels of performance and handling yet sufficiently comfortable for the daily commute.

All-wheel drive helps tame its 274-horsepower turbocharged engine, its close-ratio six-speed manual gearbox is remarkable for its easy, smooth-shifting action, and its suspension is firm but not unbearably so. It comes with sporty leather upholstery and other luxury features. Think of it as an alternative to the Audi A4 quattro or BMW 330xi.

This Mazdaspeed 6 Grand Touring sedan earned product awards and accolades from the motoring press for its handling, performance and sports appeal, yet its relative obscurity means you won't likely see it in your neighbor's driveway. Driving one of these means you're something of a non-conformist.

This rare Mazda comes standard with air conditioning; cruise control; six-speaker BOSE AM/FM/CD audio; tilt and telescope leather-wrapped steering wheel; power windows, mirrors and door locks with remote keyless entry; and 18-inch steel wheels.

With the Grand Touring package this MazdaSpeed 6 has an eight-way power driver's seat with manual lumbar, 18-inch alloy wheels with P215/50R17 all-season tires, and an anti-theft alarm.

Safety features include ABS, traction control, and advanced dual-stage front airbags.... Side-impact and side-curtain airbags.

This MazdaSpeed 6 has fog lights, bright-tip exhaust outlets, side-sill extensions and a wing-type rear spoiler.It also has the red-illuminated electroluminescent gauges.

This 2006, comes with high-intensity discharge headlamps for superior illumination and lower maintenance.

This Grand touring, 2006 MazdaSpeed 6 (NEW WAS $28,995), is a high-performance version of the MazdaSpeed 6 sedan. It is powered by a direct-injection 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine turbocharged to 274 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. It has a six-speed manual transmission, electronically controlled all-wheel drive, electronic stability control, and enhanced brakes and suspension to complete its package. It comes with the best Bose audio.

<> The MazdaSpeed 6 Grand Touring sedan is the sportiest of the midsize sedans. Visually, it has more personality than the Accord and other midsize cars. It has a strong front-end treatment that's consistent with other Mazdas. Cat's-eye headlamps and big, multi-element tail lamps enhance the action at each corner of the car.

The MazdaSpeed 6 Grand Touring sedan benefits from a kind of muscular conservatism inside and out. Everything in, on and under this car makes sense, and it all looks superb. The relationship of the lower body to the upper body looks perfect. Its sporty profile makes this MazdaSpeed 6 GT look smaller than it is.

2006 brings some styling revisions to the Mazda 6 line. New headlamps, revised tail lamps, new front and rear bumper fascia, and new side sills add more edge to the styling. Fog lamps are incorporated into the front spoiler. A new sport grille, dark gray headlamp bezels, and a rear spoiler add distinction for this top of the line model.

You will really like the new for 2006 Dark Cherry Mica color, which can be mistaken for black in some lighting conditions.

The shape of the Mazdaspeed 6 GT is truly eye catching when painted a hot color like this! It is accented by the highest Grand Touring Sport-level trim, which includes a body-color front grille, gray headlight bezels, clear-lens halogen fog lamps, dual oval exhaust outlets, front and rear air dams, and side sill extensions.

The outside door handles are well designed and easy to grab.

This MazdaSpeed6 GT is distinguished by its slightly lowered stance and by its exclusive front fenders, hood, and grille, among other body panels. An aerodynamic front bumper and lower grille section hint at high performance, while flared side skirts draw attention to 18-inch aluminum wheels.

A rear bumper with built-in diffuser for the integrated exhaust pipe combines with a compact, functional rear lip spoiler to finish off the exterior package.

This Mazdaspeed6 GT sedan offers the stiffest body structure, 50 percent stiffer than the standard sedan due to extensive reinforcements. A stiff chassis is a key element to achieving sharp handling and a smooth ride.

The front seats of the Mazdaspeed 6 GT are comfortable through a wide range of adjustments and have been improved for 2006. You will find them suitable for hard driving, with good upper body support and enough lower back support with the lumbar adjuster for all-day comfort. This leather Package adds cowhide to all the right places, with thankful perforations on the seating surfaces.

The Mazdaspeed 6 GT interior is designed to be comfortable for front and rear passengers in the 95th percentile of all body shapes. The rear seats are quite comfortable. There's more than 96 cubic feet of useable space inside the Mazda speed 6 GT sedan, according to the EPA measuring system, and that translates to plenty of room for four. You can squeeze in five in a pinch.

The interior design is complemented by carbon fiber, titanium and body-color finishes. The electroluminescent gauges are illuminated in red light, but are conventional white-on-black during the day, with nice, large and pleasing graphics.

Switchgear is labeled well, legible during the day and illuminated in red at night. The heating/air conditioning system is easily controlled by three big knobs. The Bose radio looks upscale with shiny black buttons that are flush-mounted.

The seat heater switches are tucked away on the center console, however. Lots of open and covered storage is available, and the seat pockets and door pockets are huge. Cup holders are provided in the front and rear center consoles as well as in the door pockets.

The MazdaSpeed6 GT features exclusive bucket seats up front, scuff plates with stainless-steel inserts, and aluminum pedals. They are comfortable and supportive in leather.

This MazdaSpeed 6 GT even has the Advanced Keyless Entry and Start System that allows owners to open locked doors and activate the ignition just by having the electronic key with them.

The trunk of the sedan measures 15.2 cubic feet, and the compact, lateral-link rear suspension allows for a perfectly flat trunk floor.

The trunk lid is designed with hinges that do not impinge on the storage space. The standard 60/40 split rear seat folds to expand luggage space. The release levers are in the trunk for security and the seat backs are spring-loaded so they fold instantly with just one pull of the release. The Mazdaspeed 6 GT sacrifices fold-down rear seats for increased body rigidity.

When it comes to sporty handling, the 2006 MazdaSpeed 6 GT is among the best in the class. It offers better road holding than the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, and Nissan Altima, as well as better transient response in quick lane-change maneuvers. The MazdaSpeed 6 GT just feels sharper and more agile than those other cars.

Handling is excellent. The Mazdaspeed 6 GT doesn't lean much in corners, body roll being nicely controlled by the front and rear anti-roll bars. This Mazdaspeed 6 Grand Touring Sedan comes with a sports suspension with double wishbones up front and a lateral-link layout in the rear and coil springs all around.

Engines are made of aluminum to keep it from getting too heavy, which it isn't, at 3247 pounds for this GT sedan.

Grip is tenacious, right up to the point where the front end pushes, telling you to lighten up, and this understeer doesn't occur until you've reached competition-level speeds.

Other mid-size sedans lose grip far sooner than the Mazdaspeed 6 GT's. The amount of power-steering assist backs off the faster you go, to give good road feel,

This MazdaSpeed 6 Grand touring sedan comes with excellent brakes. The brake pedal has a progressive feel in normal everyday driving. It can stop more quickly than other midsize cars and the brakes resist fading (loss of performance from heat buildup) when driving hard for extended periods of time, both benefits at least partly due to the lighter weight of the car.

The ABS helps the driver maintain steering control in a panic braking situation by eliminating wheel lockup. Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) adjusts braking force front to rear depending on the load for improved stability and braking performance. For example, the rear brakes work harder when there are passengers in the back seat, but brake pressure to the rear is lessened under light loads to avoid locking the rear wheels.

The traction control system (TCS) helps maintain directional stability regardless of road conditions. If the TCS controller senses that the front and rear wheel speeds are out of sync on a slick surface due to loss of grip, the engine computer reduces engine power automatically. This reaction is both instantaneous and seamless to the driver.

The Mazdaspeed6 Grand Touring sedan is very enjoyable on a winding road. Its turbocharged 2.3-liter engine is rated at 274 horsepower at 5500 rpm and 280 pound-feet of torque at 3000 rpm. This impressive power is sent through all four wheels resulting in rapid acceleration. It's great fun to accelerate through a corner.

The engine features direct injection, which squirts the juice directly into the combustion chamber rather than into the intake manifold. The intake system handles only dry air, so the turbocharger can deliver a good percentage of its 15.6 psi as low as 2500 rpm.

Indeed, the Mazdaspeed 6 Grand Touring sedan engine has superb low-end torque that adds to the driving enjoyment. The power seems to flatten out at the upper rev range, but it doesn't matter as you simply upshift into the next of six gears using the buttery smooth close-ratio gearbox.

The new six-speed manual transmission was developed specifically for the Mazdaspeed6 Grand Touring sedan and uses triple-cone synchronizers on the first three gears, and a double cone on fourth, for faster shifts. This ultra-compact gearbox links the engine to Mazda's Active Torque Split All-Wheel Drive system, which monitors steering angle, yaw rate, lateral g-force and engine status to determine whether or not the water-cooled center differential should send up to 50 percent of the available torque to the Speed6 GT's rear wheels.

A torque-sensing limited-slip differential in the rear axle ensures accurate power delivery when cornering or on slippery surfaces.
