Great First Car

This is the first car that I have ever owned, and is absolutely wonderful. The engine and transmission feel great, and has a surprising amount of power for a non-turbo'ed four cylinder. The car is very easy to work on, as I recently replaced the clutch myself in it, and wasn't too difficult. This is by far one of the best, most pleasant cars to drive. The engine is very responsive to throttle, and the braking is very linear and feels great. The steering is by far one of the best ratios/feels of any car I have driven. There is plenty of room in the trunk, I can fit 15-18 brown paper grocery bags worth of food in it. The clutch feels great, whether you are a first time learner, or a pro at manual, you will enjoy the feel of this clutch. I am 6 foot 4 inches and fit great in the driver seat, however I am cramped in the rear. A person shorter than 6' would have plenty of room in the rear though. There are only three things i dislike about the car, the first is that the headliner will start to fall/come loose. It gets quite annoying, however i fixed the rear part with spray adhesive and it has stayed together for about 6 months now. The second is the stereo, no bluetooth and rather underwhelming sound. The sound system is alright, but the bose system would be preferred if I were to buy this model again (I'd love to buy another mazda6). I was able to purchase an aftermarket bluetooth kit however so this point is and isn't relevant anymore. Lastly, the rear wheel wells have started to rust in the exact same spot on each side. This is most likely due to a manufacturing defect, but it has stayed rather small. However, currently the odometer has ~134,500 miles on it, and the only major repair that has needed to be made was a new clutch (really is maintenance, not a repair). Overall, this car is amazing, and I would certainly recommend purchasing one to anyone looking for a reliable, fun to drive car.

I bought this car around a year ago. Before buying the car I did read a lot of reviews. Three things stick out in the Mazda 6 I have found to be true. 1) the road noise is very obvious 2) the car seats are not comfortable 3) the interior is nice, but is made of much lower quality than Toyota or Honda. I have had a lot of trouble with the rims. The low profile style, creates the perfect storm for bending or cracking a rim. Which I have already done twice. If I could do it all over again I would not buy Mazda at all. Instead (unfortunately) I would go with a Nissan, Honda or Toyota.

This car has been a money pit since the day we bought it when it was 3 years old! In 5 years it has needed 2 batteries, 2 complete sets of tires, 2 complete brake jobs, Air conditioning overall and now the engine is completely fried!!! The mechanic said there was absolutely no oil left in the engine and it has only been 5,000 miles since the last oil change! Not to mention the fact that the headlight mounts are so clouded over that it is unsafe to drive at night and the fact that the entire front end has to be removed to change a lightbulb!!!

Doesn't last long as Toyota & Honda

Don't expect it will last like Toyota or Honda. Headliner started to fall off just after few years. Some engine compartment plastic parts will break before 10 years. Everything looks good in the first 4 years. I think that's why Mazda doesn't get many returning customers.

This is a car built for teenagers, not for a big (not fat) man over 50. Real world driving does not require seats that pinch your legs and shoulder blades to the point of pain. Red lights on the dash at night may be cool in a fighter jet but if you've become far sighted you will not be able to focus on them. Don't expect to carry any hanging clothes because the hook is too close to the drivers seat and the air bag won't work if you hang things on the grab handle. Does anybody really have room for this totally insane key on a keyring? Besides, $250 to get another, can you say ripoff? And the mileage isn't as good as they say either. I'll unload this turkey even if it costs me thousands!
