Jim's opion
So far great car. My 5' 2" wife can see out and my 6' 1" legs have enough room. Its a hoot to drive on mountain roads.
ZooM FuN
I have two Mazdas 6; one automatic V6 and my favorite V6 with manual transmission. To have every day fun on the road you really need manual. It jumps over the any car you name it. The automatic has that "manual" feature but it isn't same feeling like real manual it has delay. With manual you press less gas pedal and have immediate respond. Automatic you press half of the way and still nothing happens. The automatic is for nice and smooth ride. Have fun drive manual. No any problems with car -- 34000 miles.

Better than an Accord
I have a 2003 Honda Accord Coupe and a 2004 Mazda6. Mazda6 wins in reliability and usability than the Honda hands down. However the Honda scores in engine power and feel of the car (partly because it is a 2.4 L coupe). I think the Honda gives a better mileage too. However the Mazda is awesome when it comes to reliability as I have not had to spend anything on it since I have owned it (fingers crossed!). I prefer the ride quality over Honda because of the quite engine and zippy steering.
Good Car Overall
Instead of doing what most people do and purchase and Accord or Camry, I decided to be a little different. The Mazda6 I purchased came fully loaded. I must admit, after 2000 miles, I am pretty satisfied with the car.
Fun to drive but with issues
I bought this car new in 2004 and love the way it drives. Very quick and fun to drive. However, there have been reliability issues including a clutch that just doesn't seem to catch shifting first to second, the starter had to be replaced and finally, the cable that connected my shifter to the engine snapped and I could no longer shift my car into gear. Very puzzling and the dealership had no idea why that would have happened. I really do love my car but wish it was more reliable. Also, it is terrible in the snow with all-season tires.
Mazda
We purchased our 2004 Mazda 6 sports sedan and we love it. We were also testing a Pontiac Grand AM GT and the difference was incredible, You can tell right away the Mazda is put together very tightly. It has a modern look and very sleek design. This is my first non GM car and I couldn't be happier. Great fuel mileage too.
Review
Excellent fun to drive vehicle with a lot of punch for a Sedan under 25K. It took me nearly a year to finally decide what type of car I wanted to purchase, and I have loved every minute with my 6.
Sleek Wagon
This is my second mazda...We don't own a SUV or truck but needed more cargo room from time to time..this was the right car for us...One word of caution when searching for a Wagon with a roof rack...It has to be factory installed...don't let the dealer tell you they can put it on after you buy the car..IT CAN'T!!! those side roof rack bars are too tricky when you add in side/curtain air bags..this is per Mazda headquarters...the cross bar of the roof rack can be added on later but not the other.one is permanant the other is removeable...wish the dealers knew the car better than giving false info to the consumer
zoom zoom!!!!!
My 6s is a great looking fun to drive vehicle. Mazda has hit the nail on the head with their zoom zoom saying. This car not only has great looks, it comes nicely set up, especially with the sport package. I highly recomend this vehicle to anybody, especially those who want a hot looking car with reliability.
AWESOME! I love this car
So, this is the first time I have EVER felt compelled to offer an online review. I am 43 years old and have owned 12 new cars, and this is by far the best. GREAT looks, catlike handling, a very smooth ride, it is very quiet and silky smooth. With incentives, and out the door price at 23k invoice this is the steal of the century. Mine has everything but leather (any leather burns your legs in summer, and is cold in winter, and is slippery). The Lapis Blue is stunning when seen in person. Manual transmission smooth and precise. Gripes? Ha! Get real, go see for yourself. Wish list - Nav as an option.
Quickly forget it's a wagon
I drive an automatic Redfire Sport Wagon with black cloth interior and the Bose and Sport packages. Great car for the money. Handling is superb, predictable and smooth most of the time. The engine mated with the 5 speed ATX is smooth most of the time but generally under powered for a V6. It lacks the low end grunt most Americans are looking for. Instead it offers smooth delivery that feels nearly the same throughout the RPM range. The transmission also likes to shift a bit too soon and is a bit busy between 40-50MPH, a TCM update from the Mazda dealer fixes this gripe however.
LOVE MY NEW MAZDA
I ACTUALLY WAS LOOKING FOR A NEW 2003 AS THE DEALERSHIP WAS HAVING A SALE ON ALL REMAINING 2004'S. THERE WERE NO 2003'S LEFT SO I DECIDED TO LEASE A 2004. I MIGHT HAVE GONE OVERBOARD ON THE OPTIONS, BUT I AM GLAD I DID. THEY HAD TO HAVE THE CAR BROUGHT OVER FROM SACRAMENTO BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE COLOR I WANTED. WHEN I WENT TO PICK IT UP THE NEXT DAY, I COULDN'T BELIEVE HOW BEAUTIFUL IT WAS (AND STILL IS). I GOT SPORT AND LUXURY PACKAGES. CAR IS SO SMOOTH, FAST AND COMFORTABLE (LEATHER SEATS TOO!!) FOR THE PRICE YOU CANNOT GET A COOLER CAR. I AM NOT SORRY I BOUGHT THIS CAR. EVERYBODY LOOKS AT IT. I RECOMMEND THIS CAR TO ANYONE PRICING SEDANS. JRM
2nd time around
This is my 2nd new Mazda. My 1992 MX6 was a piece of junk. I hope this car is built better. I have a 6i 5 door, auto,luxy package,6CD Bose. I ordered the car with roof and sercurity package , but Mazda could not fill that order. The roof and alarm were put in at the dealer. The gas milage is good. 28 mpg highway. The car is fun to drive and gets a lot of looks.
SILVER BULLETT
Wonderful family sports sedan ! Regularly have positive comments & inquiries made at the gas pump, etc. by interested strangers...Once underway, the 4-cylinder gets up and goes at speeds above 50 mph ++. Nothing like it ! The automatic/manual shift transmission is a great idea for an all around exciting driving experience in all manner of traffic and driving conditions I feel.
Grab the 6 5-door
I had to write a review regarding this car. I have the automatic. I test drove competing cars like the Camry and Altima (the Accord and Galant were too ugly to be considered) and the 6 won hands down. The 6 looked better than all the competitors, had many of their optional features standard and blew them away with the space of the 5-door that still looks like a cool sedan! The warranty is better at 4yrs/50,000 miles with free rental cars and roadside assistance! The price I paid for mine was also less than I would've paid for the other boring cars that you see at every single street light!
My Car
Its a really smooth ride, there really nice inside and outside. There not that expesive. And you'll love driving it. Also they will look really phat with some rims.
it's awesome
Let me tell you when I first bought my mazda 6 i thought I was going to hate it and boy was I wrong it drives smooth and runs great thanks mazda. P.S. the reason I thought I was going to hate it is that my very first car was a mazda 626, 1991. And I caught on fire and blew up on I-5
Awesome Vehicle!
I've owned my Mazda6s for 4 months and have loved every minute of it. For reference, I have the 6s with AT, sport package, moonroof, heated seats/mirrors,leather, Bose audio, and rearview mirror w/homelink. As other's have said, slow off the line but very smooth and quick performance past 20 m.p.h
A great car
I sold my 03 Accord for this car and am happy I did. It looks great, rides great and is a blast to drive. This car has personality. We got it loaded with the sport package, leather, and the Bose stereo system. It is the best looking sedan on the market and a joy to drive. If it is like my last Mazda, it should last for years with no problem. We put 2600 miles on the car in 18 days so far. It's just fun to drive!
Former Loyal Honda Owner
After owning Civics, Accords and Odesseys I thought I'd never own anything else. The Mazda 6 caught my eye after Hondas disappointing make over. Once I drove the Mazda 6 I felt like I was driving a true sports sedan that is truely a fun car to own. To anyone considering another or their first Honda, don't let the Mazda name fool you anymore. Mazda is now a car as good as, if not better than any car in its class. I can't say enough about its stand out curb apeal, it's an eye catcher that is not like all the others. My advice is test drive it and I bet you buy it.
Wonderful Car...
I have had my Mazda now for a year and willing to recommend it to anyone looking for a great car. It is very fun to drive and I love the design. I did plenty of research and its all true. I have suggested it to several friends and two of them have already purchased theirs and they are too loving them.
Consumer Review
I just bought this car and i fell in love with after only 3 hrs of driving. It's safety features are excellent especially to new parents.
Fun to drive.
V6 is one of the smoothest engines. The manually tranny is a perfect match and the shifts are nice and short.
The Best Car I've Owned
I bought this car in June of 2004 because I was in need a good dependable vehicle. It was suggested to me that I look at the Mazda brand because of their fuel efficiency as well as their safety rating. After I checked this out I would later become the proud owner of a brand new Mazda 6. This is the best car that I have ever own and I do not plan on giving it up any time soon.
mazda6 ratings
Wholly satisfied so far; combination of performance and price is tough to exceed
Mazda 6s Sedan blue
Compared to the Mazda MPV I used to drive, this is head and shoulders above that. The acceleration wont win you LeMans, but it is more than sufficient for daily driving needs. In order to get the side impact airbags that my parents so desperately desired, the purchase of the sports and entertainment package was necessary, including Bose sound system with in dash 6 CD changer mounted on and extremely sexy center panel, side skirts, moonroof, and spoiler. The only problem I have had are flat tires, which are extremely expensive to replace. I love the red glow of the instrument panel, and the ergonomics of the drivers side is just great.
My Mazda
I think my desicion to buy this Mazda ^ has been one of the best. The first time I saw it in the street I fell in love with it, when I test drove it I didnt want to let go of it and I didnt, now everybody turns to see my ride, the interiors are very confortable and has a lot of space. I did a lil bit of street racing with it and it didnit dissappointment.
New family car
I love this vehicle. I have a child on the way, and my husband and I were looking for a family vehicle. I am still young enough that I can't see myself driving a minivan or station wagon or even a full-size car. The Mazda 6 is perfect. It is still sporty yet gives us the room we need will a growing family. Who says moms can't drive cool cars?
My favorite vehicle
Drove it 700 miles in heavy, fast-moving Labor Day weekend traffic and it performed beautifully. Road- hugging, extremely responsive, excellent braking. The car feels solid. Seats are very comfortable. The A/C worked well, controls are different but are easy to learn/find. There's plenty of cargo room for luggage and dogs. I love the dual- position barrier net! Best of all, as I passed a sleek Z4 and my 15- year-old daughter in the front passenger seat turned to admire it, she noticed that the Z4's passengers were pointing and staring at OUR car!
Going on second 100,000
Bought new in 04, traded in a Passat which was nice but had electrical problems. The "6" has been one of my favorite cars of my 30 plus years of driving. It is the only car i have actually kept for 100,000 miles and I plan to keep it another 100,000. I have done one spark plug replacement, one battery, new front brakes including calipers (ouch) about to put on the third set of tires Yokohama Avid 4vs got 55,000 miles better and cheaper than stock Michelins, and regular fluid changes. Leather still looks good, paint is great. Just had the radiator flushed and while at the dealer sat in a new 09--nice car a little bigger all the way around but it doesn't have the handy two stage console. Picky
Excleent,dream car made by Mazda
I was earlier driving a Toyota Camry and I must say that the toyota was very good in terms of quality.No problems for the five years that I used it ,considering the mileage that I do annually.However ,after I purchased the Mazda6 ,I was surprised to know that there is something more what you can get in a car than just quality and reliablity .The Mazda6 handles better than most cars that I have test driven in its category like the Accord,the Mondeo ,the passat ,A4,etc.Design was fantastic inside as well as outside .The brakes were also the best in its class .Engine servicing was at half the intervals you would service an Accord or Camry.Seating comfort and
WOW
Who says you can't have it all in the same package and have it be affordable never owned a Mazda! Way to go guys. Cant wait for my next one. That is if this one ever dies. 80,000 miles on it now and still no problems!
Best Car for Tall Guys
First, I'm 6'1" and have problems finding cars to fit me. I tried the Eclipse and Scion tC and found neither to have enough room for me. I tested the Mazda 6 cause it looked nice and was pleasantly surprised to find it had more than enough room for me. I loved the fact this car had everything I need within easy reach and the V6 was nice to drive. I bought an automatic and I have yet to regret the decision. The Bose audio sounds nice and the luxury package has options higher priced cars have like heated seats & heated mirrors. The sports package made this car look better and any other car. I bought the S sedan for 26k with tax and titles included.
Mazda make cars fun
Great looking car. Get compliments all the time. My fiance zooms around in it and has a blast with its comfortable yet sporty feel.
Denmark - Actually 2.0 liter
Great car in Denmark. Has good pickup for a 2.0 liters 141 hp. and that's pretty good for a European car. Nice interior (alcantara like). Mine is Sparkling silver which is a pretty nice mix between silver and golden, it actually changes color depending on the weather. When it's dark the color is more silver and when it's sunny the color is more golden. It has the standard CD and no-name speakers which sound pretty nice. You have to understand that all car prices in Denmark cost "the price of the car" plus 180% tax, so all extras cost a fortune. I used to have an Opel vectra 1.6 liter and this is a step up, although I feel that some of the parts are a little cheap.
ZOOM ZOOM - FUN
MY Mazda6 gets the looks and is fun to drive. I looked at Nissans and Hondas when shopping for a car. The price on my Mazda couldn't be beat.
04 Mazda 6i auto
This car is a great everyday driver for work. If you can opt of the V6 it is worth it. However, I do a lot of driving in Home Health and miles per gallon is important to me so the 4 cyl benefited me. I like to do my own shifting, but in todays traffic pay the extra for an automatic. I looked into everything in this price range 22K and the Mazda offered more spunk than other manufacturers. If you reside in San Antonio, Texas go to the IPAC dealership and speak with John B. (Manager), Reggie A, or Eddie G. They were AWESOME!! I have only had the car a day so I cannot comment on reliability at this time. The car is great.. it sells itself.
Awesome
I have driven a lot of cars and for 27000 dollars you cannot find a better car anywhere. The slick sporty look and the awesome handling only enhances the overall performance of the car. The car is great for every type of driving and would take it over a beemer any day.
Love that 6!
I have been driving my 6 for 2 months now. I love the design and form of the car. 20 more hp would not have hurt, but all-in-all it is the most pleasant riding, sports sedan I have owned yet. When the engine idles, it is so smooth you cannot tell it is running. The BOSE audio system is top notch, and the climate control works rapidly and efficiently.
Love My 6s
No other sedan is more fun to drive than the 6s for this price range, period!
Best car I have owned!
I read an article about the 6 in Popular Mechanics about 2 years ago. I loved the look that Mazda was going for and if it met with expectations, it was going to be a sweet car. I had looked at Altimas, Accords, Jetta/Passat, and the overweight Camry. I was ready to go with the Altima until I drove the 6. Love at first sight and drive! I ordered one with everything I wanted and picked it up as one of the first four to roll off the line for the 04 year. I've had it 2 months and love it. Still paid a ton less than any of the other cars I mentioned with the same package. Way to go MAZDA!
Still Crazy About 6 after 6K
Yes, still a winner.Bought end of January, Pebble Ash Metalic. Unlike VW, Mazda 6 has been trouble-free. Starting to see more on the road. Would still choose over the TSX, Accord, Altima or Camry. Great handling, just rotated and balanced the tires, helped; amazing how many new cars need this from day one.
Almost Perfect
Needs lock button lights, needs better speakers. thats all. its a great ride. and sporty and sexy. fast and fun. i have a fully loaded V6 apperarnce package (ground effects) all leather and lapis blue. the best color. i love it
Mazda 6 is fantastic!
My Mazda6 is a beautiful piece of machinary. This car has a lot of style and class. Very fun to drive! It feels like its worth over 30G`s. I had the Mazda MX3 and now with the 6...I am a huge Mazda fan.
Mazda 6 S-Wagon is Awesome!
I stopped by the Nelson Mazda to test drive the Mazda 3 5-door. I loved that car, but my wife was concerned about cargo space on trips. Our salesman, Rob heard our concerns and introduced us to the S-Wagon. I had no intention of getting a wagon, but this wagon changed my mind! This car has a beautiful, sleek profile that screams performance. The interior has plenty of space, plenty of headroom, and is very confortable. The performance is terrific! The handling is exceptional and exactly what you would expect from a much smaller sports car. The BOSE 6- disc in-dash sound system is the best I have ever heard in a factory supplied system!
great car
i love the 6
Take the Long Way Home
This car is incredible to say the least. This car performs incredible with the 4-cylinder engine with 5sp manual. Youll want take the long way home, I find every excuse to drive this car. This is the best handling car that can actually fit 5 full size adults for under $30k period. The handling is far better than the Acura TSX. I option forgot how big the car is when driving it, it feels like a subcompact most of the time. With a starting price under 20k, its a great value, with every option youd expect from a car in this class. To sum it up, an inexpensive car, thats comfortable, that hands down outperforms anything in its class, and looks great.
Faster that you Think!!
I just bought my 6 wagon. Its great. I have so much fun. I had a Accord coupe 01. And I really liked that car. But, the 6 is a total upgrade. The handling is superb. Acceration is top-knotch. I was on the intersate the other day. And a mustang gt drove up next to me. The engine of the mustang was loud and aggresive. The driver quickly drove past me. So I said the heck. I will se what this 6 can do. I switched into manual. And I dropped into 4th gear. You thought that I had nitrous in the tank. Cause the car took off and me and the 'Stang were going at it. The 6 couldn't be shaken.
All around great car
This car is fun to drive and more importantly it is number 1 in consumer reports safety tests. My kids are learning to drive a stick and we are having a blast!
Mazda 6-cess!
I got my car to replace my totaled mazda b-2500. the only complaints i have is the notchy gearbox and various rattles but that's it. my mazda is rock bottom of the 04 mazda6 lineup- no moon roof, automatic trans, leather, multi disk player etc. but the interior design is very good and roomy. cars good for aggressive driving and sounds the part too. some say it doesn't get enough horse power and mileage but mine with a aftermarket intake has 30-40 extra hp and 2-3 more mpg, so don't change the car change the intake.
