Overview & Reviews

The Mazda 6 is mostly unchanged for 2008. The Sport Wagon model has been discontinued, leaving only two body styles, and the Touring and Grand Touring can now only be equipped with the six-speed automatic. Minor feature adjustments, such as larger wheels for the Sport trim and a standard Bose audio system for the Touring, round out the changes.

• Fun to drive, smooth power delivery, attractive design inside and out, availability of versatile hatchback body style.

• Engines are less powerful and fuel efficient than competitors, tight rear seat accommodations, stability control not available.

  Excellent Car! Zoom Zoom! - 2008 Mazda Mazda6
  By Charlie - March 24 - 12:23 am

  This car drives and looks like a champ. The interior quality is good and body style looks great! It picks up pretty good for a 2.3 4 cylinder. Has better standard features than other competitors. You cant go wrong with the Mazda 6.

  So far I like the car, very sporty. Rides and handles nice, good pick up for a 4 cylinder. Good visibility, no obstructions, can see very well even with spoiler.

  More trunk room than my 01 Maxima! - 2008 Mazda Mazda6
  By John Wilson - September 10 - 9:36 am

  Two months into this car with a little over 4200 miles on the odometer. Only negative was a bad AC compressor at 2k miles but was fixed within 4 hours. Car drives and rides nice with plenty of room for the family including the boys baseball gear and a couple of chairs. I was looking at used Pontiac G6s when I found this one and couldnt be happier. Average mileage with 5 speed with mostly city driving is a low of 25 mpg and a high of 29 mpg so far with things only looking better as the car gets more broken in. So much better than the Maxima at 19 - 23 mpg which also asked for premium fuel. VERY happy with my new MAZDA6!

  What a Ride!! - 2008 Mazda Mazda6
  By Kathy - August 1 - 1:13 pm

  Ive had my Mazda6 for a week and I absolutely LOVE it! It handles well, its quiet and my blended gas mileage for the first tank was 26 mpg. The heater works great, too!! I had an Acura Integra, but had to "grow up" a little bit. The Mazda6 was the right choice for me because I now have an automatic instead of a stick and can actually get more than 2 people in my car comfortably! It looks great, too!

  I like it - 2008 Mazda Mazda6
  By Rob Ovel - March 29 - 4:40 am

  I didnt 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. Interiors nice and I love being able to close a vent and not have air continue to blow out.

  Disappointed - 2008 Mazda Mazda6
  By dyna - October 6 - 5:50 pm

  Actually, this probably isnt a bad little car. The problem may be that Im comparing it to my previous car, a Saab 9-3, which cost the SAME amount of money to lease as the Mazda! I guess I didnt appreciate its turbo engine and excellent gas mileage while I had it. Im certainly feeling like Im getting less for the same price. The Mazdas a "cute" car, but not overly impressive for the price. Its slow on the uptake, but rides nicely once it gets going. The seats are comfy and it definitely is a fun car to drive. The dash, however, looks like what it is, cheap plastic. Frankly, Im having "leasers remorse". Unfortunately I have another 3 years in this car.

  Sporty Middy - 2008 Mazda Mazda6
  By N23 - August 22 - 10:46 pm

  Wanted to buy a 4 door after owning 2 sports cars, (Integra & Prelude). Looks fantastic in dark cherry mica. Performance is ok as automatic hunts or lingers when driving with a lead foot. Gotta agree about the gas mileage. 4 cyl is mid to low 20s so far in the city. Love the stock wheels and stock body kit the 6 comes with. Glad Mazda has the monochrome look in style.

  MY ZOOM ZOOM - 2008 Mazda Mazda6
  By BF - May 24 - 7:20 pm

  I have this car 6 month 8500 miles and still love it. I have owned 15 new cars in my life and this holds 2nd place as my favorite. 1990 Chevy Lumina Euro holds first place. Great car fun,fun,fun for a 4 door family car. Being a 38 year old guy with 2 kids and a wife it fits the bill. Wife drives a crossover. Glad to buy the 2008 and save big$$$. No problems, no complaints. Good room in front looks great. I have to recommend putting on a spoiler it changes the whole look of the car. The Zoom Zoom makes it happen, go Mazda

  Pretty good...... - 2008 Mazda Mazda6
  By Rich - April 11 - 1:20 am

  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? Thats why I usually go manual around town. It shifts to higher gears too quickly.
