I bought this car to replace a Miata lost to Katrina. I absolutely love it! This is my 11th Mazda. Have only had to do oil and other fluid changes, and put a set of tires on it at 50K. I swapped the noisy Michelins for Riken Raptors and it handles as if on rails. I use it to haul my kayaks, and it performs well loaded down with two 14 foot ocean kayaks
Luvit but Hatit
This car looks and feels like a million dollars from the inside out. The lines on the trim to the outstanding handling put you on the top. I recommend buying this car for yourself not the wife; it is no minivan! This car to me compares to having a Mustang station wagon but still rides well on the highway, especially at high speeds.

Fun to drive, comfortable... concerned
Cool to drive. Many compliments on the Mazda6 sports package style. Good handling & comfortable. Trunk has good amount of space. My Mazda6 has good acceleration when in the higher gears. At times feels as if transmission is trying to catch up, especially in the slapstick manual mode. My concern is how much quality the transmission has. I have had problems changing gears in both the manual and auto modes. I can't tell yet if it is me getting used to the sportamatic or if there is actually is a problem. Still a great car.
Do not buy this car!
Worst car I ever owned. Pre-catalyst problems. I had to replace it twice - very expensive. Engine problems - throttle body replaced. Expensive as well. Broken power steering - expensive as hell. Broken CD-player. Poor A/C. Broken seat heating. Almost everything in this car breaks all the time.
