MazdaSpeed 6. AWD 6-speed manual almost no one's heard about. Looks unsuspecting to the average Joe.

A major contributing factor to it being unknown is because it was only made for two years. It was, and still remains, well known amongst enthusiasts.

Exactly how I felt about my old Outback XT. Practical, unassuming, but turbo awd with optional 5mt. I ended up swapping mine with a mildly tuned and modded sti short block (~340 HP) and sti 6 speed. Got tired of working on it all the time but man I do miss that car.

You also have to get the engine built. Or it will 100% blow up on you. Ok maybe not 100%. Haven't seen one in years and had a couple of friends who had them. Had them

Oh yeah I have the regular 6 from that time (same engine, just no turbo) and am on my 2nd engine.
