 I purchased my 2005 Mazda 6i sport in August 2005, brand new.  Got a great deal on it, and have not regretted it once.  I wanted one because of its sporty handling/appearance.  I drove an Accord and was bored, then I drove the 6 and I drove it home the next day.  I can't wait to see what the 2008 is going to be like.  Hopefully at least as sports car like as the curent model.  Love it and will buy another.
