So I have been looking at Sti's (04-05ish). But really wanting to move at the start of next year. Used Sti is gonna run around the low to mid $20k.......this is where the Mazda guys come in.......the Mazda Speed 6 looks to be a good alternate to the STi. The 263 HP, AWD, 6speed, sounds just as fun for a DD and cheaper. I have no experience with Mazda, hows the aftermarket, hows the car overall, and any issues with them? Mainly looking for a fun DD, that can carry the kids......mods would be FMIC, intake, exhaust and tune.

Basically any info on the car from people who drive them harder than the reviews on youtube.
