Mazda Mps 6. What do I need to know?

[~Divine~Wind~]

Ah shame mate really enjoy mine, not a clue what I'd replace it with should anything happen. Older Evo perhaps?

Buy a Volvo S60 T5 2.4. Mine remapped to 321bhp easily. It was a good fast saloon.

Edit.

This one is already done for you.

You should consider the S60.

Just bear in mind that the S60R has massive drivetrain losses, so if you map one of those to 320~HP you may only have 220HP to the wheels.

They sound mega though...

The regular S60 T5 with a map will be quicker but is front wheel drive. Horses for courses.

To be fair I've been put off the idea all together now.

Agreed, that's why I linked a tuned T5.

Tuned T5 is a good shout

Id have another s60r, was a good car. 17mpg though. Felt more special than the 335i to be fair.

To get 17MPG average out of one you must have been driving it fairly hard almost all the time surely?

Can't blame the car for that!

 

[Scrutinize]

An s60r....he will have been driving it like an old man to get 17mpg.

When I was speaking to an owner of one his long term average was 27MPG and he showed me pictures of an indicated 43MPG average on a run.

He did mention single digit averages are achievable if you go on a mega hoon though.

I remember the 200bhp club from back in the 90's. Oh how that figure looks stupid now.
