Mazda6 Engine Problems
I'll restate this original posting. This is my original thread for Mazda6 Engine Problems. I have a 2007 4 cyl, 5 Spd Mazda 6. The engine blew at 11,000 miles. and again at 23,000 miles. I'm a Engineer and a mechanic. I specialize in FMEA (Failure Mode & Effect Annalysis) Which means I know no Mazda Service Manager can blame me for my engine failure without a tear down for Root ...

Should I trust a 2010/11/12 Mazda6?
After reading other issues with Mazda6's... have they changed the 2010, 2011, or 2012 enough to avoid buying a bad car??? My 2007 Chrysler Pacifica just ate itself and I have 12 more payments... due to oil consumption problems that occurred between the 60-65K oil change... they know it's a lemon. But I feel like the fool because I bet the sales guy was internally laughing his ass off for buying ... Read More

Re: 2010 i GT auto with Tech Pkg. [jeffyscott]
Well, you do get a 5/10 year warranty with Kia. I think/hope they have come a long way since the days of the Sephia, etc. I drove an Optima from 2 generations back, as a rental car for a week once and it was terrible. Agree with you on the looks. Kia is making some nice looking (to me) cars. Both the Optima and Forte look good and better to me ... Read More

Re: mazda6 touring handling question [michaelscai]
I felt my 2007 Mazda6 had steering that was a bit light, Accord I test drove back in 2006 seemed even lighter and was too light for me while the Mazda was light but acceptable. I think the new version of Mazda6 is lighter than mine. After a while, I got used to the lighter feel and it did not bother me. I was coming from a Contour, which had a ... Read More

Re: Mazda sales,my experience [numb3rz]
Okie-dokey, I had mistakenly assumed you were saying something more specific than that. I guess I'd have to say that my gas mileage sucks on my 2007 Mazda6, 4 cyl. Commuting to and from work, it gets only a "couple" mpg's more than my old V6 minivan got.

It appeared that there was several thousand $ difference on both new and used like vehicles between the two markets. I ... Read More

And handling IMO is just as good, since they're both FWD, while saving $$$$ with both the purchase and service/parts. The A6 is AWD, if thats what your talking about.

Re: 2009 Mazda6 I4 Fuel Economy Test [aviboy97]

I can easily obtain 35 mpg in my 2007 Mazda6 i automatic given the conditions described. 33 mpg for an entire tank from pump to pump including some city driving has been replicated many, many times on trips.

Re: 2 questions on Mazda 6 [aviboy97]
I had thought my A/C was weak in my 2007 Mazda6. I eventually noticed the problem was that it would sometimes cut out when stopped, like it is supposed to do under hard acceleration. The last flash update of the ECU mostly eliminated the problem...it has recurred only once. After the update it seemed like rpms would drop more slowly after stopping. That said the A/C is not all that great, ... Read More

Mazda Reliability is kinda a hard thing to really get a grasp on due to a couple factors. These being the type of car, and thus buyer, they attract. And second, the age.

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

Re: Wow, I was more right than I thought I was (deja vu) [m6user]
Depends on how you shop. If you're a segment-only, new only shopper, then no, the options outside of the Mazda6, Camry, Altima and Accord rarely come up. I tend to shop based on size, performance, usability and price. Segment is meaningless to me; as is new or used. For 20-30k I see a variety that many 6 buyers will never entertain.

Mazda sales in Europe up
LEVERKUSEN – August 18, 2008: So far this year, Mazda has seen booming sales as the popularity of its first and second-generation Zoom-Zoom vehicles continues to grow across Europe. Last month, Mazda sold 27,700 vehicles, which is up 28 percent compared to July 2007 and the best volume in 17 years. Maybe it's the Euro 09 Mazda6????

Re: 2007 mazda6 [mickylyn]
Hello mickylyn. This car's lease program varies by term and mileage allowance. You never mentioned what either off these variables are, so for now I will assume that you are interested in a 36 month lease with 15,000 miles per year. Let me know if you want something different.

Re: lilengineerboy [captain2]
how on earth could KBB or NADA (or anybody) anticipate that the market for 6s would get so bad that $6k discounts would have to be offered and those resale values would necessarily decrease by a similar amount? Other then that one Texas dealer you told me about, I have not seen $6K in discounts. I am a Mazda dealer, and I would be losing major money if I sold them ... Read More

You're very welcome, wagagog. Generally speaking, the longer a lease is, the lower its monthly payment will be. Here is the information on this car's current program that you're interested in. Mazda Credit's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 27 month lease of a 2007 Mada6 i Sport Value Edition with 10,500 miles per year are .00229 and 65%, respectively.

2007 Mazda6 SVE manual
So I had an offer of $259 a month for a 24 month lease $2000 down on a Mazda6 SVE Stick 12,000 miles. I haggled a bit more and the dealer said he would reduce the price by $600 but when he calculated the lease price, it was a few dollars higher per month and said his prior calculation was a mistake. I told him no thanks and left. I contacted ... Read More

Some more info on new Mazda6
Found a some more info on the new Euro-spec Mazda6 that I thought might interest some. Nothing earth-shattering, but every bit counts! This is from Mazda's UK site: "An advanced six-speed manual transmission engages the new range of engines, which includes a class-leading 2.5-litre petrol engine (170 PS) and an updated diesel (140 PS). Steering and handling enhancements give a greater sense of smoothness, precision and confidence. Environmental and safety performance ... Read More

Re: Well I test drove a 2007 Mazda 6 [carguy58]

Re: Aura I4 [jd10013]
I'd say KBB is VERY optimistic. ;) Edmunds' TMV for a 2002 Civic EX 4-door (the most expensive Civic trim for 2002) with 115k miles in clean condition is only $7740. By that number, in about five years you've lost nearly 50% of the car's value compared to what you paid for it. Which is pretty good! In comparision, I had a similar experience with my '01 Elantra, which I sold ... Read More

Mazda6 ads in my area: one dealer says $5750 off and another has an ad saying up to $4250 in rebates. It appears that these deals are for any Mazda6 they have in stock. Of course, those prices are without discount financing.

Re: what a looker [jeffyscott]
Glad I got my Mazda6 with chrome-free exterior (aside from the Mazda symbol) and woodless interior while that is still an option. The wife and I both dislike plood (plastic wood) and really like the piano black option in our 2007 AWD SEL Fusion. Real wood might be OK, but the plastic variety is just plain tacky.

Re: 2008 Honda Accord [backy]
Great looking car, great driving car, brand new, full factory warranty, It should be noted that Mazda slashed their "full factory warranty" term by 25% in both mileage and years for 2007.

Re: Mazda6: Lease Questions [dotsync]
Hi Nick. Unfortunately, Mazda is not longer providing lease support on 2006 models. As a result, if you really want to lease one you would have to do so through an independent bank. You probably would be better off leasing a 2007 model at this point and paying cash for or financing a 2006 model. Mazda is providing a special $1,000 bonus on this car for consumers who finance one through ... Read More

Re: Mazda 6 lease rates and rebates for December [daddypost]
Hi daddypost. Mazda is no longer providing lease support on the 2006 Mazda6. However it is currently providing $1,500 lease cash on the 2007 Mazda6 Sedan. If you were able to negotiate a selling price of $500 over invoice and then have this lease cash subtracted, your car's capitalized cost would be at around $1,000 under invoice.

While it is difficult to predict what automakers will do with their future incentives, they generally increase as the model year progresses.

Re: 2008 Mazda6 [lilengineerboy]
Honda lacks an in-house aftermarket performance supplier. While not being a full line, they do offer the "A-Spec" upgrades. Just thought I'd mention that.

For the current Accord to be near the top of the pack five years after being introduced (and with all other cars except the Mazda 6 being redesigned since then) I'd say Honda has performed ...

Hi teach42. Mazda's current lease program for the Mazda6 isn't bad. Like most manufacturers' advertised lease payments, I suspect that it leaves a little meat on the bone so to speak. The selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable and chances are that Mazda is not advertising a rock bottom price on this car. If it did, its dealers would be pretty annoyed.

In September I bought a 2006 6S version with the manual transmission, cloth interior, and no options. I paid 17,800 with destination and fees, and not tax. That was 3,500 in incentives at the time, plus was $500 below invoice. I am guesstimating that the automatic would add about $800 to $900 to the invoice. So that would have been $18,600.
