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.

What a Ride!! - 2008 Mazda Mazda6
By Kathy - August 1 - 1:13 pmIve 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 amI 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.

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

Second new Mazda, love them. - 2008 Mazda Mazda6
By Alan McGuiness - March 31 - 2:43 amTraded 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 amI 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 amI 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 amPurchased 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 pmIt 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.

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