So Far It's Good

I've owned this car for a few months and so far I couldn't be much happier with my purchase. I was told when i bought it that the catalytic converters had already been replaced in it which disappointed me but we made the purchase anyways. The ride on the new Hancock tires was amazing. For a front wheel drive car this thing handles amazing. The hatch offers a lot of potential for mass cargo so I intend to use it next year for a cross country trip. Gas mileage could be a little better but when switching from an SUV I can't really complain all that much. The only bad thing about the vehicle I've found is the turning radius. It's pretty horrible and my old SUV could out turn it.

I like how the wagon looks like a grown-up Mazda3 both in size and style. Classed-up, but still with some spunk. We have a BMW 530 wagon near identical in size, power and age, and there is absolutely no deprivation in taking the Mazda. More trunk and backseat, even. The 3.0 V6 brings the heat at high revs, but feels like much less engine at lower revs. Gutless under 2000 rpm and an absolute dog below 1500 rpm, you'll need to shift often. First gear is tall and if you let the clutch in too fast it'll really leave you out to dry. The engine also goes through oil and spark plugs kinda quickly, and the lack of replaceable fuel filter worries me.

I'm going to be buried in this car. My family has owned this car for its entire lifespan. My dad bought the 2004 Mazda 6 v6 new with top trim level. The car has never had engine or transmission problems. The only maintenance has been standard and a few airbag recalls. We've replaced the oil every 6k miles, replaced the brakes every 40k miles, and done all the other maintenance needed, and the car just hums along perfectly. When standard maintenance requires replacing parts, like the brake pads, rotors, and calipers, it is expensive. However, they do seem to last longer than other vehicles. I love this car. The tach never exceeds 3000 when driving normally, but you can kick it faster than new cars if you need to. All of the horses have stayed in the engine over the 16 years we've had this car. We've accrued some body damage to the car over the years. Even so, the incredible body design of the car makes it beautiful. No other car from the era holds up in looks, but the Mazda 6 is still a good looking car. The only real downside is the mileage. We get 23.4 mpg in normal driving, and 26ish mpg on a highway (measuring between full fills and mileage). Still, for a car from that era with 16 years in the engine, that isn't bad. The mileage will drop significantly in winter and if you leave an oil change waiting too long (my brother, before I got it, let it go 8k miles without a change; it was down to 16mpg in winter driving). The brakes are amazing. You can slam them and stop nice and quick when you have to. I've avoided a few bad accidents thanks to them. Finally, the car has only just started rusting this year. We haven't been particularly careful in preventing rust, so the fact that it went 15 years without a spot is remarkable. At 160k miles, 16 years, this car is going strong.

Bought this car used in the summer of 09 with 129k on it. It now has 157k on it and I still love it. It has great handling and decent power for a 4 cylinder. These cars have a very good suspension IMO. It can handle tight turns at good speeds without offering too stiff of a ride. Mine has 17 inch tires, which probably makes a bit of a difference over the stock 16's. The interior is also well appointed and really comes alive at night with the interior lighting. If you like to play golf this car will also suit you well, there is easily enough room for 3 golf bags. The back seat can be a little tight though.
Awesome Wagon

This wagon has been reliable since day one. I have done the oil changes on a regular basis, the only big thing so far was a vacuum leak. Fun to drive, nice paint job. Surprised Ford and Mazda have done a good job on this car.
