IIRC I remembered reading about overheating issues due to the TMIC not getting enough air coming through (ala WRX, LGTs). Apart from that the MS6 should be about as reliable as regular M6s. Can't comment on the Haldex AWD system.
Is it FWD until traction loss?

Handsome red MS6 btw. I find the RX8 wheels look great on other Mazdas but kinda boring on RX-8s themselves.
