This is a car that I have a good time driving. I have had many cars before,most of them more expensive than the Mazda, this car is fun to drive. I also like the the Leather interior very comfortable on longer trips. The exterior styling is much better than cars in it's class.

I enjoy driving my Mazda6s, it is fun to drive. I just switched from the Tribute to the 6s and I am happy.

This car is great...I throughly enjoy driving it. I traded in a horrible Honda Element which during the first year became THE ELEMENT OF SURPRISE. The Element left me on the side of the road at 500 miles and Honda's reliability/customer service was of no assistance. I am now devoted to Mazda. The car is a thrill to drive on the highway with a mix of comfort and get up and go to get me past those crawlers . I have had a couple of minor problems with vibration noise that the dealership repaired quickly. No complaints.

This car makes my 20 miles commute a joy -- really enjoy the handling. Steering is precise and the car stays flat around curves (my previous car, Corolla, and my husband's Prius made me less confident about going around bends and curves).

2004 Mazda 6 - many problems

I have had an '04 Mazda6 for approximately 18 months - was great for first few months and lived up to the hype and reviews. But after about 4 months it developed several problems that 2 dealers and national support have been unable or unwilling to fix. Power and gas mileage are WAY down, shifter mechanism is very rough and sloppy, brakes repeatedly develop a squeal, rough starting when cold, traction control is terrible in the snow, clutch often stammers. I have previously owned 2 other Mazda's ('89 MX6 and '99 626); both were good combination of value and reliability, leading me to get the new 6. I was very happy at first but am now very disillusioned with reliability/quality and lack of support from Mazda
