deimos Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 The replies may be slightly biased from this site LGT: quicker, looks better imho MS6: handles better but fwd based awd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.T.Subie Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 A guy I work with has an 05 MS6 and I am very thank full I got the Legacy. I think the Interior isn't as nice and overal exterior is much better on the LGT. Denial is your best friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondas123 Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Hasn't the Mazdaspeed6 had some problems with heatsoak?? There are a couple of threads comparing the two already. - The Mortgage Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutter2k Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 This sites going to be biased. In the end. Aftermarker for LGT > MS6 We had a head start since many engine parts are swapable from the sti(headers, pulleys etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elpete77 Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 I'm biased because I wanted a wagon, I think the Mazda wagon is ugly, and they don't make it in the Speed version anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fzanetti Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Bottom line: If you want luxury and more refinement ==>> MS6 if you want mod capability and speed/track/sportiveness ===>> LGT Key features: MS6 => Direct Injection Engine, better MPG, better interior, better Navigation and 6MT LGT => Subaru Symmetrical AWD, faster, more reliable (at least for now) Flavio Zanetti Boston, MA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starbai Posted June 24, 2006 Author Share Posted June 24, 2006 thanx for all the replies guys, and yeah i know the biased would of course skew the results of the poll...but i currently own a Mazda 6s 5 speed, love the car its great, a little underpowreed, but i know alot of people on this site(or i should say a few threads) that complain about the built quality....so that has me thinking... i absolutely fell in love with this car's power, and handling, but i'm going to have to get get a few prices, and test drive a few to make sure...thanx guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSiWRX Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Do you plan to perform any aftermarket upgrades to the vehicle? I only ask because I am completely ignorant in so far as aftermarket support goes for the MS6.... The LGT is very well supported in this regard, but I am not sure how the comparison may go. <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 LGT + JDM Bilstein suspension swap > MS6 in all aspects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starbai Posted June 26, 2006 Author Share Posted June 26, 2006 yeah i know the aftermarket stuff for the Legacy is cray, there are a few things for the MS6..springs, cp-e intake, no real exhaust system.... and i know with an up and downpipe combo this Legacy would be sick...i'll probably throw in maybe 1.5k into the car worth of mods....but no more than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rc0032 Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 The LGT is very well supported in this regard, but I am not sure how the comparison may go.You really think so? A handful of DP makers and 1 Co. making new turbos and a few coilovers...The WRX/STi has a very well supported after market. The legacy support is mediocre at best I still would not be caught dead in Mazda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spec-B GT Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I beleive this is what you may be looking for VIDEO of the legacy spec-b and the mazdaspeed 6 http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/PopUpVideoPlayer/videoID=20032654 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A handful of DP makers and 1 Co. making new turbos and a few coilovers...The WRX/STi has a very well supported after market. The legacy support is mediocre at best ^ Or rather, I should have framed this in our specific vehicle-segment. I come from a DSM background, since '92. To say that I rather quickly assimilated and digested all possible "quickie mods" for the LGT would be a + 1/2. <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starbai Posted June 26, 2006 Author Share Posted June 26, 2006 Thanks alot for that video, even though i've seen it already it brings up a great point, the body roll is alot heavier in the subura(sloppy i think they say), but i'm sure it can be corrected with a few sway bars, and maybe even a slightly suttle drop with some springs...coilovers would be great, but could get a little pricey. In the end the subura is quite fast in a straight line, and i think thats the biggest factor in my book...with an up/down combo...this Legacy could be a real killer, and its such a sleeper...gotta go check it out in person...
