As a family we needed a third vehicle to cover our increasing transportation needs. We own a van and an SUV and thought a sedan would balance out the family vehicle situation. We bought this car after realizing that though many Civics and Camrys out there would certainly do, many were abused by their previous owners and made for a pretty shabby used car. The local Mazda dealer explained how Mazda owners tend to have a special bond with their car and treat it nicer, and after about a week with the Mazda6 I could completely understand why. I'll never buy from another car manufacturer again. Even though its a rock bottom base model, it still evokes some jealousy in my friends. They can't tell.
awesome mazda

I"ve had this car since 2008 it had 178,000 miles on it now it has 250,000 mileson it. The still drives like it was new. The hatch back is so awesome and gives the car a sporty profile. I still get 29mpg with a 4speed AT. The car has more then pad for it's self in value.
Disappointed...

Bought this car used with 20,000 mi. LOVED this car, how it drove how it looked, the amount of room. But after about a year every few months we had to replace something: the clutch, the shocks, tires (2x), and air box system. Finally the engine in the car blew due to a cracked seal that caused the oil to leak dry(the oil was changed every 3000 mi). the carpeting is coming off in the cabin area and the drivers side speaker goes in and out. So we are getting rid of the car (after taking a huge hit on the loan) and never buying another mazda.
Love it!

Bought my 04 6s hatch nearly 2yrs ago with only 87k miles. This car is fully loaded and must have been babied by the previous and probably original owner. Nearly flawless except a torn bolster on the driver seat back and small rust spots on the rear wheel wells. It handles amazingly well but the downside of the suspension is you feel nearly every crack in the road! The 3.0l v6 gets you up to and right past the speed limit quickly and loves to be wound out. The 5spd transmission has a smooth, almost gated feel while shifting, one of my favorite things about the car! Although I paid the very high end of the book price for a 17yr old car, its been worth every penny and I have no regrets! At 113k now, with normal maintanence I'm sure I can easily tripple the milage before I'm ready to let it go!

The 2004 Mazda 6 hatchback is a car before it’s time and One that predates and inspired the much higher priced Audi and Mercedes five door models. How can a vehicle so quick, (220 horsepower Ford Duratec engine) so responsive, so utilitarian and so economical no longer be produced? This is a vehicle that checks off more boxes and combines more features than any SUV or sports sedan. Plus, the styling looks like it came off the assembly line last year. I’ve heard compliments like wow, that is a really nice looking new car! Don’t know any other 15-year-old vehicle that would inspire that kind of response.
