Overview & Reviews

For 2006, all vehicles in the Mazda 6 lineup have revised front and rear fascias, while sport package-equipped models get a new grille and side sill design. The optional automatic transmission on four-cylinder models is upgraded from a four-speed unit to a five-speed. Additionally, the V6 has been modified to improve exhaust emissions, resulting in 5 less horsepower (now 215). ABS and traction control are now standard on all i models, while all s models now come with an eight-way power driver seat, an alarm system and a standard side and side curtain airbags.

• More fun to drive than most family cars, slick-shifting manual transmission, smooth power delivery, nicely appointed interior, multiple body styles.

  This car rocks!! - 2006 Mazda Mazda6
  By DanelleT. - June 16 - 10:16 am

  Mazda doesnt lie. This car goes zoom zoom! and it has the heart of a sports car. I love it. The internal design is genius. There is so much more to thrill you about owning this vehicle! I paid $14,000 for this car and I think its worth every penny. The color of royal blue with purple fleck catches everyones eye. My 18 year old son loves to drive it.I love this car more than any other car Ive owned and Ive owned quite a few. If you are thinking about buying this car, DO IT! Youll never look back! Make sure you get the color you want, because thats what others see first. They teased me for being picky but I dont regret it.I love my car!

  ZOOM-ZOOM - 2006 Mazda Mazda6
  By Bob - June 14 - 4:26 am

  I never expected the Mazda6s sports sedan to be so much fun to drive! We have 3 vehicles and 2 drivers in the family. Everyone likes to drive and ride in the sporty sedan. Its very comfortable with the new for 2006 interior. Im not a young person having been driving for 40 years. Ive been a car and motorcycle enthusiast for nearly my whole life. Ive owned cars such as a Corvette, a Porsche, and traded in a 2004 GTO on the Mazda6s sports sedan. This has to be the most fun car to drive that Ive ever owned! Even my picky adult daughter who wanted another sports coupe bought a 6s identical to ours except for the exterior color after looking at every car in its class. FUN! FUN! FUN!

  love my 6 - 2006 Mazda Mazda6
  By rickpaul - June 1 - 9:00 am

  If you are looking for a sedan that will do everything well, this is the car. My 6s automatic is fast, agile, comfortable, and loaded with features. I have ridden people in it who own much more expensive cars, (Audi A4, Acura TL, BMW 3 series) and they cant believe how nice it was and how smooth and quiet it was while still being able to eat up an exit ramp. Because the car doesnt represent the least common denominator however, you can get rebates and incentives on it that make it a better deal than a Hyundai or a Mazda3. If you like to drive, and you cant afford a luxury marque, you absolutely cannot go wrong buying this car. Zoomzoom.

  A Great Sedan That You Should Consider - 2006 Mazda Mazda6
  By DVX135 - April 27 - 12:26 pm

  If you want a car that is fun to drive, comfortable, sporty and utilitarian all in one, get a Mazda 6 5-door. The back seat folds completely flat, so I can haul bikes, guitar/amp, home improvement supplies, and 5 4-5 people comfortably. I have the 2.3l 4cyl engine with the 5 speed manual trans, and I dont know why anyone would want/need the V6. This car can move and has been a pleasure to own. The bottom line is that I wouldnt hesitate to buy another one. Do yourself a favor, and at least test drive one.

  The best car Ive had - 2006 Mazda Mazda6
  By MDCruiser - February 26 - 7:10 pm

  I bought my 6i automatic on 6/1/06 with 9 miles. Ive had only small issues with it, now have 58,000 miles on the vehicle. Ive done a lot of modifications to the suspension and some to the engine, and I drive the car pretty hard. Never a problem thus far. Im extremely happy with my purchase. The handling of the car is great, it has adequate interior room, OK fuel economy, and reasonable maintenance costs.

  Fun and practical - 2006 Mazda Mazda6
  By RAHanson - January 13 - 12:56 am

  I wanted a fun-to-drive station wagon as an alternative to an SUV. The Mazda 6s met the mark. The manual transmission is great--very smooth clutch, quick response (much better than automatic). It holds the road well. It has plenty of cargo room. Unlike some other wagons, the back seat folds completely flat--this is great, especially for transporting animals.

  sweet car - 2006 Mazda Mazda6
  By Bill - October 1 - 6:40 am

  I searched for the right car and was looking at the 6 and a Civic, my sister has a Civic, and my Mazda6 beats the Civic hands down in style, look and interior, as well as the drive. The color, bright island blue, is an eye catcher and all the features are more than enough.

  Zoom-Zoom - 2006 Mazda Mazda6
  By Doug E - September 13 - 10:03 am

  Considered the Accord/Civic and Acura TSX/TL but Acuras need premium unleaded and are pricey, the Hondas get one interior color choice (depending on the exterior color) and the dash is too funky. The 6i Sport had everything I was looking for at a price that Honda could not beat. Matching speedo/tach in red illumination, good interior color selection, handles like a go cart with decent mileage using regular unleaded.

  1st Mazda - 2006 Mazda Mazda6
  By tan - September 12 - 11:06 am

  It was not my choice. I really wanted a charger. After driving it, I like the radio control on the steering wheel. It will save me on gas. The seats are comfortable, and the car can get up and go.

  Nice mid size sedan for the buck - 2006 Mazda Mazda6
  By Moon - September 8 - 2:03 pm

  It drives like a full size car with the gas mileage of a compact. More than enough power, luxury and safety features.
