OK I have the I4/GS version, but I hear a lot of things from Mazda forums about the 6cyl GT:

1. The turning radius of this car is a massive 19.4 ft. It's like a boat. Don't get this if you have to manoeuvre through underground parking each day.

2. Some earlier years (05-06) of this model has throttle body problems; There is a new "BB" version throttle body that supposedly fixes these issues, but most cars don't have it and dealers are inconsistent in being willing to install it under warranty. You should find out if this came stock in the 07.

3. Don't bother getting aftermarket wheels, the stock fitment for 17" and 18" has a +60 mm offset, which is virtually unheard of in aftermarket products. If you want something smaller, you would probably have to roll your fenders.

The most populous mazda6 forum on the internet is Mazda6Club.

I couldn't resist. The OP's question was so vague.
