The new turbocharged 6 is pretty sweet. 250hp/310tq. An interior that rivals Audi for quality.
The gen 1 6 was great. I had a GT Wagon with a V6. It drove well and the long roof is a nice design. I also liked the sportback version. They should bring it back since it is a widely accepted format. The sedan version is the least pleasing to my eyes of the 3. i would've bought the Speed6 if came in the Sportback style or better yet in wagon form. Oh what a lovely practical Q-ship it would make.
Alas, it's Ford-inspired interior and drivetrain betrayed the Gen1 and deviated from Mazda's superb handing DNA.

As a used turbo-sedan.... I'd probably pick a Legacy GT or n55 335i.
