Smile New daily driver

MAZDASPEED6 GT! After too long of being without one, I picked up another last week. I had a 2007 MS6 GT that I bought new previously. That car never gave me any problems.

One week into owning my current 2006 MS6 GT, the power steering pump seems to be dying. It whines when I make a right turn, but not left. I already spent enough on new tires, brakes, plugs, etc.

Here are some boring pics:

Thanks. Nah, I paid just a little more than that for my 62k mile GT.

Nice man I was going to buy one for my wife since she loves Mazda and may still pick one up eventually. Question though, is the paint like that from the factory or has it been repainted? It looks very dull with no reflection.

Original paint. Not dull at all. The sun didn't cooperate with me. It's actually a pearl paint.

Ahhh very nice! Other than the minor pump making noise are you happy with the car overall? power and handling wise?

Yep, happy otherwise. I would not have bought another one if I didn;t like these cars.

Check your power steering fluid. It's probably low.

I looked at that first. It's fine.
