Default mazda 6i

ive been (used) car shopping a little and i came across these mazda 6i, there the 4 banger version (there cheap) and have a 2.3L i think thats what that turbo mazda 3 thing has right? anyone know of the parts can be transferd ?

they seem like decent cars, everything i read says better driving then the competing honda nissan toyota cars. im talking about the 02 or 03 models. the mazdas can be found under 10k easy.

Hopefully they are designed a whole lot better than the Mazda-speed protege...

The turbo setup on those is designed soo poorly. From the intercooler next to the rad, to the plastic IC piping that loves to not seal, to the manifolds that usually crack, to lsd that generally fails before 100k miles.

After working on one of them, think carefully before buying that mazda.
