This was the first car I purchased myself. I'm the second owner of an '06 Mazda6. In regard to appearance, this car is definitely "sexy", especially in the Dark Cherry color I have. I drove an '03 Toyota Camry before this Mazda6 and I can assure you, the Mazda6 is sportier, smaller, and more fun to drive. I haven't had any serious issues with the vehicle, besides the routine maintenance (oil change, tires,). I had one mechanical problem when I first bought the car but it was under warranty so no cost to me. The speed and handling of this vehicle is up to par; it exceeds my expectations, especially being a 4-banger. Overall I would HIGHLY recommend this vehicle to any prospective purchasers.

Mazda 6’s have a tendency to blow engines around 150K miles. Regular oil changes may help this problem, but this was not the case with mine. After a new motor, new transmission, and about a year and a half of hard work, she is back and better than ever. I did have a little blip in the wiring about 6 months ago that kept it from starting. After all the infected wires were replaced (they call this the trifecta i believe. these wires go bad in all kinds of cars), it runs like brand new. I bought the car around 3 years ago as a second owner. The car has been very reliable for the past 5-6 months. After some major and minor repairs, I love being able to enjoy the car. All of this hard work also makes it more sentimental. The new engine and transmission both have around 55K miles on them and they prove it every day. I drive around 100-150K miles a week, and for a car that is 13 years old, she handles it very well. I highly recommend this car for someone looking for a nice driver with a sporty look. Just keep up on oil changes and regular checkups.

This is a nice car to drive. It's quiet on the inside and rides almost as smooth as my mom's Lexus. I think that for the money you can't get a better car out there. I test drove many including the Scion, Honda, and Nissan. I liked the feel of the Mazda 6 the best. I have owned the car for about 6 months now and haven't even noticed a rattle. I would highly recommend this car to anyone.
Not Bad, better than I thought

I needed a vehicle to get to and from work, well the 6 does and then some. I find that I take the long way home through country backroads that have lots of hills and curves. Once I adapted to the "Semi-Manual" it's fun to keep the engine revving above 3500rpm. Keep the engine happy and it rewards you with a pleasant sound, considering it's a 4. Gas mileage has been around 26mpg, which I consider good since I tend to floor it. A lot!
Nice mid size sedan for the buck

It drives like a full size car with the gas mileage of a compact. More than enough power, luxury and safety features.
