0-60 is 5.3. Not faster than the R, but close. That was a good looking car. Probably the only Mazda I would consider buying. Mazda's styling is so bland now.As someone who owned a turbo Mazdaspeed 6 in my 20's, I can say that the 2.3L turbo AWD on the Mazdaspeed 6 is definitely an Civic X ass-kicker (excluding the new TypeR). For a 2006 Mazda, it was very well built and top notch interior/exterior quality. However, dual-clutch engagement was choppy and there were a lot of turbo leaks all over the forums. I had my turbo and clutch flywheel replaced under warranty within 3 years. No wonder they only produced that car for 2 years and stopped production. Glad to hear they are attempting to bring back a turbo 6 for 2018 and hopefully all the kinks and problems are sorted out...it was fun while it lasted!
