 As of this date I have put 2000 miles on my new MazdaSpeed 6, and am happier every day with the purchase.  I got used to the somewhat touchy clutch after a couple of days and suggest one time test drivers not be put off by it.  With rebates bringing out-the-door price below $25 K, this sedan is a screaming deal.  Tested Subaru Legacy GT spec B, Audi A4, and BMW 3 - the Speed 6 provided by far the best bang for buck.
