Excellent it is the best value in the market for a sedan. It easily eclipses the camry, accord, al;tima, galant ect in every imagionable catagory. It is more comparable with the 3 series sedans or acura's. Thanks Mazda!

I test drove the Nissan Altima 4 cylinder and then went and looked at the Mazda 6 for the sake of comparison. Once I test drove the 6 I took it home. This car has the best handling and engine performance of any mid-sized sports sedan out there and Nissan is in big trouble! The interior design of the 6 is incredible, much better than the Altima's, and you get a lot more car for less money too!

I bought this car used at about 23k miles; now at 72k. I like the 2003 options because you can get a moonroof unbundled with other options. Reliable; only issue was a throttle body sensor I replaced out-of-warranty with a salvaged part for $120. Only drawbacks are dash and trim rattles and buzzes; I stuffed some wood pieces under the dash align pins which really helped but the center console (all plastic) makes noise and there's some kind of buzz in the B-pillar area occasionally (hence build quality = 4). Sun visors will weaken if you clip a garage opener on them.

I have had my 6 for three years now and love it. Besides brake and caliper issues it has had no problems. It is fun to drive and handles wonderfully. I would suggest this car to anyone wanting a family car with a fun factor.

Tried the 4 cylinder and it was certainly peppy. However, no comparison to the 6 cylinder which also comes with ABS, traction controln auto climate control and power driver seat, well worth the $2,600. I enjoy the smooth power curve every time I drive. I drove the new Accord and Camry and though these are wonderfully reliable, comfortable vehicles, they are boring in a back to back test drive compared to the Mazda. I also drove the Altima and though it was more powerful, the handling didn't seem as good and the interior trim and fit felt cheap in comparison. I love this car! And the dealer was awesome.
