Cool, I've been lookin for these #'s. I am concidering a Mazda 3 aginst a 2.3 MTX Fusion and the weigh difference is definately there. I think the 3 is 2,800 and the Fusion is 3,100. Those #'s will affect performance on the Fusion quite a bit.

Yes of course. The Fusion and the 3 are, except for their engines, completely different cars. The Fusion is (obviously) like the 6, not the 3. It depends what size car you want... the Fusion is even a few inches larger than the 6, I believe. Though it weighs about the same.
