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.

  Second new Mazda, love them. - 2008 Mazda Mazda6
  By Alan McGuiness - March 31 - 2:43 am

  Traded in my 2004 with 111K on it for a new 2008 Mazda 6I, all the bells and whistles, leather heated seats and interior, CD player with awesome Bose speakers, sunroof, heated mirrors, compass in autodimming mirror, etc. Owned this one for 7 years, just spent my first out-of-pocket on a replacement headlight bulb. Absolutely no other issues or complaints, and I push my vehicles hard. This one did 135 MPH in Death Valley a couple of years back, and the radio plays louder the faster you go!! Armorall the entire leather interior annually, holding up perfectly.

  Luv it! - 2008 Mazda Mazda6
  By Sarah - February 15 - 1:00 am

  I just bought my car yesterday after doing lots of research and I dont regret it. Buying a used 08 with low mileage fully loaded was a much better deal than getting a new 09 base model. The 08 is more fun to drive and it feels very sporty. Plus it has better gas mileage than the 09.

  Glad I got rid of the SUV! - 2008 Mazda Mazda6
  By KK - February 12 - 3:50 am

  I LOVE this car!!! I have been an SUV driver for 10 years now and was feeling the crunch at the pump. It has been a little weird switching to a car, but I forget about that instantly when Im hugging turns and driving this thing like its on rails. I bought the car on the 30th and a week and a half later I have only gone through 1/4 of a tank!!yeah! Anyone who is in a SUV ditch it, the car is a lot more fun!

  Im in love with this vehicle! - 2008 Mazda Mazda6
  By Anthony - November 21 - 10:06 am

  Purchased the vehicle used first week of March. 46,800 miles at purchase. So far I have put about 750 miles on the vehicle and I have to say - I love this car after only owning it for 3 weeks. One word of warning - if youre single and have a computer building background, this car may make you want to customize or "tune" it to at least an extent.

  Great value to car ratio - 2008 Mazda Mazda6
  By TinTin - April 25 - 6:33 pm

  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 couldnt 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 - 2008 Mazda Mazda6
  By Walter - March 25 - 3:53 pm

  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.

  Best Car EVER! BMW is only other car I can compare to! - 2008 Mazda Mazda6
  By npalafax - February 7 - 12:52 pm

  Bought used at 70k Base i hatchback with sport package same car as the photo above. I really loved the hatch vs one with a trunk. It came in handy more than I ever thought. And still wish I had it. The only other car that I can say drove anything like this was a BMW which I now own. Ironically, the previous owner I bought it from sold it because she bought a new BMW. The only issues I ever had were: 1.Thermostat at 83k common problem threw a engine light so never over heated. 2.All the motor mounts failed at the same time. This car was defiantly well loved and cared for. Sadly was totaled at 98K in a garage fire in my building otherwise I would still have it. BUY A 4cyl v6 has a lot of probs

  Durability - 2008 Mazda Mazda6
  By kjmilow - November 2 - 10:20 am

  Durability & Fun to drive. I have driven Mazda for over 20 years, GLCs, ( go like crazy ), 626s and now a Mazda 6 my last new car. They have all gone over 200,000 with minimum care & maintenance. Im taking better care of this one since it is supposed to last until I die and I am only 62. A healthy 62 I might add.

  Fun to Drive and Good Value - 2008 Mazda Mazda6
  By CCD - October 9 - 6:23 am

  The Mazda6 is an excellent value. I bought the car loaded with everything except nav. Yet the car still lacks an upscale feel. The real appeal of this car is the handling which is outstanding for this type of car and the versatility of the hatch. With a more powerful motor, this car could have been exceptional. With the 6 cylinder engine, it is just a lot of fun to drive. A bigger motor would have really given the car a strong identity.
