Mazda 6 and RX-8

Looking at either a 6 or a TL, in respect to the 6, how does it hold up, I'm looking at a used 6 around 45K. Anyone have one also? Also does anyone know of parts that the 6 and 8 share, specifically wear and tear? Thanks, doing research here, the local 6 forum, and the mazda 6 forum.

I have a v6 mazda 6GT.........Its a great car. The car is pretty peppy. they share absoulutely no parts with the 8.....completely different cars. I like the v6, space, look, utility, and handleing of the car.....actually going to get the rb suspension setup for mine. Overall I can say the 6 is a great family sedan with a little punch.....I have no experiance with the TL so I can't comment on it. Its really my wifes car....wish she had of gotten the speed6...but oh well.

Never driven either but I like the look of the 6 better. You test driven either of them?

I had a 2005 6i 5 door prior to the RX-8. Loved the car and would definitely get another if I had the need for a commuter car. Nothing broke, and I never had the car in for any warranty related items. Wear and tear items...nothing the same there.

the 6 fastback is a beautiful a car. When the 6 came out it was perhaps the best looking family sedan in its class. How does it compare to a TL? IMHO they are not the same segment from feature, trim and hp. Maybe MSP6 perhaps?
Comparing a 6 to an RX-8 is like comparing an Altima to a 350Z.

Owned an RX8, own a 6. I have the Speed 6 of course, but it's basically an AWD higher hp version of a regular 6 really. Definitely not comparable. I compare my S2K to the RX8, and my 6 more to the lines of my friend's Altima 3.5. Either way, it's Mazda so why not compare I suppose. All great cars IMO.
