What was it like performance wise? Was it faster than the V-6 version?

Why did they only make it for only 3 years?

Was it dependable?

 

MazdaSpeed6: 2.3L I-4 274 HP engine, all wheel drive, 280 lb/ft torque. The single-scroll turbo delivers most of its 15.6-psi boost starting at approximately 2,500 rpm. 0-60 in 5.8 seconds

Mazda6 V6: 3.0 ltr 220 HP, 2 wheel drive, 200 ish lb/ft torque. 0-60 in 7.2 secs.

Yes the Mazdaspeed6 was quicker. The Mazdaspeed3 is even quicker!

Don't know why they made it for 3 years, maybe because they threw it in the 3.
