Why don't you enjoy your Mazda 6? It's funny, but when I was looking for my new car, I was VERY heavily set on getting a Mazda 6 GT, but then I found a CC VR6 for the right price, and HAD to jump on it.
How does the Mazda V6 perform?

Hey all, I am still keeping my eyes peeled for a CC.... I have been looking for a car for some time now, as I am not enjoying my Mazda 6 all that much.
I have been looking for a CC any year with a 6MT and the tech package, which would come with Nav, and the Upgraded Sound System and HID's.
They are hard to find here in Ontario in that config, as I have only seen two for sale so far.
Well I found one, it's in great shape, and they are asking 20,900 with the 40,000 2 yr warranty included in that price.
The only kicker is that it has 94,000 kms on it or about 55,000 mi.
That's high for a 2009, should I keep looking or is there really no concern with mileage like that. The car comes complete with service records etc, and the dealership had all the issues that it may have had fixed, such as new front windshield and brakes.
It's also the cheapest MT CC listed in Ontario at the moment, priced to sell as they like to put it.
Long story short, would you? Or should I stay away cause of the high kms. I would plan to keep the car for about 4 years, averaging about 23,000 kms myself, so when I would be finished with the car it would have approx 190,000 kms or 118,000 mi.

55K miles doesn't seem that high for a four year old car. That's less than 15K per year. I put about 25K miles per year on my car just driving back and forth to work. And 118K is nothing for these cars. My last VW (2003 Passat) was at 170K before another driver decided I'd had it long enough and drove me into a concrete median. Otherwise, I'd still be driving it.

just bored with it, there's not a whole lot of aftermarket parts for it atm, especially for the V6. It desperately needs a 6 spd MT, that would change a lot for me anyways. I just don't feel connected to the car.
I thought all the bells and whistles it had would occupy me, but I realized that didn't matter if the car was just "ok" to drive.
Don't get me wrong, I tested a bunch of cars, Maxima, G35X, those just felt to big and heavy, the Mazda 6 felt more planted to the road, and was most similar to the GTI I owned out of all the other cars.
It's a good car I thought I could grow into and hoped it would go from like to love, but it's just not happening.
Perhaps I am going through a crisis, as I am also contemplating a Mustang GT, a CTS-V or a G8 GT. I really wish we had the G8 GXP up here in Canada. Perhaps the burble of a V8 is what the Doctor ordered.
