This is my experience of driving an 2004 Mazda 6 I4 yesterday.  One word sums it all: SLOW.

Slow and unresponsive.  I don't know how the last owner beat up this car, but it seems the tiptronic is so unresponsive.  It literally took 1.5 seconds to change my gear.   Normally if I downshift my 3, it would drag my 3 slower and I would totally notice.  Not at all for the 6.  Seemed like that thing wanted to keep going.  I tried flooring it going uphill.  Slowww.  Handling is not as good as the 3.  The gauge looks ugly also.

Now I get why nobody buys the 6 anymore Tongue
