Already tired of the up-and-down motion of the car, upon launch.

Miss driving my rx8, too!

Here's a complaint about the LGT:

It's not very inspiring-looking. I park it, and walk away, stopping to look back hoping to feel inspired; left feeling "eh? It's aight."

Here's a few pics of my friend's - it's an 05, but about the same otherwise. Except the 295 whp, that is. It's pretty rude, and sounds it too.

He does webdesign & photog. - which you'd probably be interested in. scarletfirephoto.com (includes some cuties - borderline NSFW, tho the main page linked here is ok)

personally bro, your car is awesome. if you put 1-2k into the looks of the car (ie body kit) you will become inspired. i mean, look at the pics of the cars posted on the first page! those look awesome. it will take time but you will grow to love your new ride

Nice car!

AWD + 'terbo' = FTW

Btw, I think I'd go for the Mazdaspeed 6 first even though I like the Legacy a lot.

Thing is - I don't have to love it. The RX8 can be my 'pleasure-driving' car.

The thing with the legacy is this: It's comfortable. Heated leather is fantastic. It's got Navigation. It's got lots of room. It's pretty fast. It's still a bit detached-feeling, compared to the rx8. I agree there are lots of things I could do with the car. Maybe someday I will. :D

I considered the MS6. What turned me off was the AWD system (FWD-Biased), and I've go a lot more headroom as far as power-making with this car. I like my car's interior better than the mazda, too. I also wasn't sold on Mazda's ability to make the Horsepower it claims, AND a reliable car. The HP difference between the MS6 and the LGT never seem to stop the LGT from beating the MS6, or running RIGHT beside it. Figure, the MS6 in my area (we don't have 93-octane) would be about 260? It'd definitely be 'less than' the 27x it's rated it.
