"this is a real life sports car"... is it? nahhh. Performance car, yea, but sports car generally evokes an image more along the lines of a 7, 8, S2000, 350Z, not an overweight competitor for the evo or sti

its not meant to compete with the sti nor the evo...

try the likes of legacy gt.. acura tl.. etc

and the term sports.. is all subjective..

although would tend to agree that sporty shouldve been used instead...

nice torque for a sedan.. has more than my 340bhp fd..

That seems like a pretty decent ride. I don't know that I'd take it over a Legacy GT, but I'm guessing it's a close competition.

RWD is far better.

id prefer RWD too, but AWD has many more benefits taht u can list on paper, plus is better when it snows and stuff. I just like having my front wheels undriven for the extra steering feel and feedback, and less understeer (most of the time anyway)

The Mazda6 was pretty sporty so I can't wait to drive or even buy one. I like the AWD on a vehicle like this.

That's what I'm thinking instead of an 8 or a replacement 7.
