It did not come up, but the Mazda 6 MPS with leather pack is a fun car to drive with all the extra's, and it's quicker with 4wd than many other cars. It's no evo but as a everyday car for the executive with possible family on the way, it's a good choice.
Please drive an EVO before you buy one. I did and the V-spec GTR had a much smoother ride.
