Re: 2005 Mazda 6, 3.0L - A/C blows too warm, heater blows too cold. [wwest]
You now have a DEFECTIVE climate control system. What's so "defective" about it? He jiggled a wire and it started working again, end of story, and it had NOTHING to do with your post about your "defective" climate control. And for the record, modern climate control systems work to the SPECIFIC TEMPERATURE that you set it at, then keep it there. That's what it's supposed to do. If the ambient temperature ... Read More

Re: 2005 Mazda 6, 3.0L - A/C blows too warm, heater blows too cold. [sgrae]

Re: Mazda 6s Grand Touring with Tech package [mjm19]
Predicting the life of a new car is difficult. IMHO any car should and will last 100K miles. I could even streach this to 150K. This does not mean that repairs above and beyond regular maintenance will not need to be done. This means that a well cared for engine should last that long. The first and most inportant care is engine oil. I check mine every fillup. I change my ... Read More

Re: I recommend the Mazda 6 [rdm925]
Thanks! My 2005 Mazda6 i sedan with the 4 spd auto has been very reliable as well. The only problem I had was a driver side window motor that wouldn't roll the windows down and a blown fuse. If I remember correctly it was about $450 at the driver for both items. The AC has been amazing from day one, but sometimes it's just too cold LOL. One of the biggest ... Read More

Re: 2011 Mazda6 [baggs32]
You said they ruled over Mazda completely when in truth, they didn't. First off, I never said they ruled them completely. For their North American Operations, Ford had a HUGE say in how they conducted business. Second, Ford had a lot of their brass in Mazda North American Operations. That is a FACT. Coming from someone who is associated with Mazda, I would know more then you. By the way, the ... Read More

Please don't sit there and say Ford did everything. Ford would not have a Fusion if it were not for Mazda's engineering and development. I didn't say Ford did everything, you did! You said they ruled over Mazda completely when in truth, they didn't. They were partners and shared just about everything which is why Ford bought their controlling share. They needed one another as someone else put it. By the ... Read More

Re: I like the Mazda6 way better than I thought I would! [rdm925]

Re: Ranking of Midsize Cars [plekto]
A 3 year old Mazda 6 can be had for $11000 without trying(dealer) and $9000 private party if you haggle(some dealers have 45-50K mile examples for $9K even). I checked this right now with Autotrader, so it represents real street prices. All depends on location and supply vs demand. I just sold a 2008 Mazda6 i SV with 31K on it for $11,995.

Re: 2009 Mazda 6 i Sport-Wayne Mazda [JGallo377]
from all my research the invoice on the 6i sport is 18729 +670 destination. Don't forget to add the "regional assessment" to that. Edmunds does not track the regional advertising fees because they differ from region to region. The regional assessment is charged to the dealer, and is not built in profit. Edmunds also explains that as well. Now would the S plan price be 2% lower that the invoice price ... Read More

Re: Mazda6 [heybroder]
Mazda 4 banger's have been historically great. The 6-speed automatic tranny is built by Aisin, who also builds tranny's for Toyota and has built tranny's for Honda in the past. The 5-speed auto and 6-speed manual are built by Jatco, I think. The one minor weak point I would say is the V6 engine. However, it has had wonderful reviews and has been pretty flawless since its inception in 2007 (CX-9). ... Read More

The new Mazda6 incentive is $2000 rebate, plus $1000 more if financed through MAC. The offer is good through August 1, 2005. I found this info at Mazda's website. IIRC, the previous rebate was $1500, so Mazda raised it a little. I heard that the 2006 models will be on the lot in Sep/Oct, but who really knows?! My local dealer already has Mazda5 on display, and those weren't supposed to ... Read More

Re: question [brian211]
My husband had a 2000 Outback and now a 2002 which he bought used a few months ago. He loves them. Traction in snow and even on ice is terrific. No problems at all. He put 238K (mostly highway) miles on his 2000. I wish he'd bought a 2005 instead of a 2002 - I prefer the lower stance and feel behind the wheel. But he wanted to keep his dog ... Read More

Rating the ratings
Obviously we want the ratings to confirm our choices and to clobber all the vile specimens that we detest. But that's what makes public ratings very interesting: One's personal experience or point of view may not be confirmed by a larger audience. For example, many of us have heard that GM builds bad cars and that the Japanese (read, Toyota) with their excellent reliability are poised to take over. Well, as ... Read More

Re: Dealers with internet pricing? [retropia]
It's your lucky day! I found the following dealership that actually posted prices! http://mckinneymazda.com Each new car has a web page that shows the MSRP, the pre-rebate selling price, and the post-rebate price. The dealer has a 2005 Mazda6s with everything I want (leather, auto, moonroof) for $24302 after $1500 rebate. Gosh--if I get Mazda financing, that will go down to $23302! But I don't like the color Edit--LOL! Get a ... Read More

Yeah, 20K
$20k seems about all I'd pay. The wagons aren't moving well I guess. They had one locally here with a $4,200 discount coupon they mailed me. Cars all lose value quickly, so spending $25 on a car which in a couple three year will be worth half that much doesn't make too much sense from a dollar invested stand point. Most I would ever pay for any regular car, like a ... Read More

Need help pricing a used 2005 Mazda6
Hi. Edmund's used car pricing doesn't have info for 2005 models, so i'm hoping you guys can help. 2005 Mazda6 S hatchback, auto transmission, leather, moonroof, 6000 miles, being sold at a Honda dealership. Looks to be in great shape. Sticker price $24,500! With Mazda offering up to $2500 cash back in various forms, I think $24,500 is way too much, but I have no basis to form an offer. Would ...

Decided on the 2005 Mazda
I decided on the 2005 GT Mazda6 wagon for 22k and bought it yesterday. I was the one that couldn't decide between the '04 Mazda6 wagon and '04 Passat wagon. I am happy with my purchase. Of course you always wonder if you could have done better but now that is behind me and I plan on enjoying my new speedy wagon. Thanks all for your advice.

2005 Mazda6 Wagon - Good deal?
We were at a Mazda dealership this evening. Looking at a Squall Blue Mazda6 wagon, with cloth interior, 5-speed manual, no other options. The best the sales guy could do was $22500 out the door. Tax is 8.25%, so that was about $21000 including the $750 rebate. Edmunds lists TMV as $22141, so it would seem to be a pretty good deal. Was that a good price, or has anyone got ... Read More

Re: MAzda6 Wagon : Canadian pricing [autonomous]
I'm looking at this private sale of a hatch version below. The guy bought the car 2 months ago for $32,000 - there's $31k left to pay. I can take over the 0% payments, but still to me the cars not worth that much - mind you in taking over the payments I don't pay GST apparently. I feel like offering him no more than 26k but then he'll have to ... Read More

Re: 05 Mazda6 pricing [emilehan]
If you want to save money, then go for the 2004 6s 5 door(sports package is already included in this model). It's the exact same car as a 2005 except you get a 5 speed instead of a 6 speed auto, if that's what you want. Same good looks and the same V6 engine. The 2004 is also priced around $900 cheaper than a 2005. If you go to the mazda.com ... Read More

Mazda6 GS V6 + GFX Glacier White
I have just ordered a Mazda6 GS V6 with GFX package. I picked Glacier White exterior in color and it seems like I have to wait 2 months to get it. What scares me is the concern about the V6-engine being a FORD. I don't want to put the FORD manufacture down but I am not confident in their products knowing alot of friends who have them.

Re: Mazda6 wagon got bad marks in Consumer Reports [mazdamarla]
Based on my experience reading CR over the years, this predicted reliability comes from last spring's survey of subscribers about the Mazda 6 sedan on which the wagon is based. You'll be able to see better what systems or parts of the car subscribers complained about in the end of the year CR 2005 Buyer's Guide which should come next month.

This has been made much easier for 2005 with the SAB/SAC being standard on all models and trims except the base 'i' sedan model. ndec- This should be no problem for 2005, but you still gotta find one like that.

The Mazda6 2.3L 4cyl. is more sophisticated than the Focus's 2.3L. As newcar31 pointed out, the 6 has VVT; I'm pretty sure the Focus lacks that outstanding feature. And the Focus has 145hp, the 6 has 160hp or so. The Focus is clearly not as nice a car as the 6. But maybe if I close my eyes, I won't notice. The trouble with waiting for the 2005 Focus is that ...

Well how many Mazda6 owners would trade in a Mazda6 and get something else from Mazda? I know if it were me, I wouldn't be willing to give the company another chance right away after having my almost brand new car rust. That's the difference between you ad me, I guess. Nothing else in my price range matches my list of requirements from a car as well as the Mazda 6. ... Read More

AutoAlliance
To clear things up... AutoAlliance International is the name of the Mazda/Ford joint-venture manufacturing facility located in Flat Rock, Michigan. It began production in 1987 of the MX-6 and was known as Mazda Motor Manufacturing (USA) Corporation (MMUC). In 1992, amid Mazda's financial turmoil, Ford agreed to purchase half of the plant and it became AutoAlliance International, Inc. It became a union (UAW) plant in 1988. It has produced the 626, ...

You could use that same reasoning on someone who wants a moonroof but doesn't want SAB/SAC. What if Mazda offers SAB/SAC as a stand-alone option and required it to get at a moonroof? Mazda obviously through marketing studies has determined SAB/SAC aren't as sexy to buyers as a moonroof. Don't you think there's some people out there not willing to pay the money for SAB/SAC which they don't want just so ... Read More
