Pretty good......

I like my Mazda. Bought it new, and now at 14k miles, having some problems. Warped front rotors, squeaking belts, steering clunk, transmission hesitant to go in gear from reverse to drive. The clunk happens mostly at low speeds, and comes from the passenger front. The tranny problem is not too good. It goes into gear when it is good and ready. It is a fun car to drive (handling) but the auto trans seems to always try to be in top gear so I am turning fewer revs. Do I really need to be in 5th gear while driving 35, turning 1800 revs? That's why I usually go 'manual' around town. It shifts to higher gears too quickly.

Great value to car ratio

It made a few squeaks on the passenger front fender at first, but Royal Moore fixed it without questions or charge. Herzog-Meier made some fake warranty of 100 miles or less so I couldn't take it to them. Fuel economy could be better, but when you put the pedal to the metal, it shows its real performance. Flawless control at high speeds, like the car was a part of your own body. Sportiest looking sedan I could find.

One week with new car

I have only had the Mazda6 for one week. t he exceleration is just about what I expect from the 4 cylinder engine. The engine is smooth in daily driving. you do notice the engine on exceleration, but it is not taxing our too intruding. I like the red colored gauges at night. I like the radio controls on the steering wheel. The 5 speed automatic transmission is smooth, but I particularly like being able to shift it manually if I wanted. the wear seats are roomy. I have good room in the drivers seat. The drivers seat is easy to adjust for comfort. The wear seats are roomy anough, although I will be driving up front. Highway driving is a breeze.

Bad decision on my part to buy this car. All the other reviews are wrong - these are cheap, unreliable cars. The car has been trouble from the first month of ownership. The roof liner is falling down and my seats show significant where and tear. I've had this car in the shop all too often for engine noises and vibrations. Dealer told me that the engine mounts are worn out and need to be replaced. This is the only car I've ever owned that has had a problem with the engine mount. The engine mount! Really?! I will never by Mazda again.

I didn't fall in love with it until they pulled it up for me at the dealership. Got almost 31 mpg on a 5 hour drive to KC which shocked me. CEL came on, dealership reset w/o problem. Dashboard can easily be seen during day. I think people are driving with their headlights on which does dim the radio lights but you have to roll the knob on the dash up and it shows up, just as bright as at night. Turning radius is not the greatest. Kind of expecting one more turn of the wheel and then it stops. Very hollow sound on the roof during rain and driving through puddles. Interior's nice and I love being able to close a vent and not have air continue to blow out.
