  • Best bang for the buck - 2004 Mazda Mazda6
    By -

    Im not going to repeat everything else that has been stated. Simply, Ive been looking to replace my 96 Probe GT for a few years now and nothing else pushed my buttons. Ive tested a number of cars including the Altima, Celica, Solara, TSX Scion tc, and even the 325ci, anything that was semi sporty and had a little room. I first tested the 6 when it came out, (93) and was impressed, just felt the need to explore more. I bought my 94 with luxury/sport package/mp3 and a few other features for 24k before rebates. There wasnt another car with similar options even close to what I got for the $. Its solid, tight and pretty quiet. Ride was as good or better than the 325ci sport(s) I test drove

  • My third- and best- Mazda purchase! - 2004 Mazda Mazda6
    By -

    Ive just had my Onyx Black 6i for a few days, but I am very impressed. I cannot opine about the long-term reliability, but so far I am very pleased with the build quality, fit and finish, performance, fuel economy, etc. This is the third Mazda for my wife and I. This car replaced a 2003 Protege ES, which replaced a 1999 Protege ES. Both Proteges were absolutely bulletproof- all we had to do was change the oil, fill the gas tank, and follow the maintenance suggestions. Those two cars combined gave us nearly 130,000 trouble-free miles, so I have high expectations for our new Mazda6. We werent really in the market for a new car, but Mazdas incentives were too good to pass up.

    I agonized over my Altima vs. 6 decision last March and ended up with the Alt. Just recently, I rented for a 6 and this convinced me that I made the right choice. The 6 is nice and sporty, but the Altima is more handsome and just all around nicer to drive. I didnt like the 6s seats back then and I still dont.

    You cant go wrong with this car. Ive driven it 10,600 miles already with no problems, or defects. Comes with standard stuff on it that costs extra on BMWs and Mercedes. Dollar for dollar the best car out there. The fact that its stunningly beautiful doesnt hurt either. It gets compliments everywhere I take it. Handles like a sports car, but theres no harshness on this ride. Id recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, gorgeous, and sporty car that feels a lot more expensive than it is.

    I LOVE THIS CAR!! It is beyond fun to drive, not to mention easy on the eyes. Fuel economy not too bad for a V6, and the power is phenomenal. I dont regret my decision to buy the Mazda over the Accord. I would definitely do it again.

  • HUGE HIT WITH THE 6!! - 2004 Mazda Mazda6
    By -

    Just picked up my 6S, 5 speed, fully loaded in silver and this car literally has it all! My previously owned BMW 330i(with sport package as well) has nothing on this car(just a higher price and a name!), no kidding! This Mazda is ALL you could want in a car without raping your pockets! I have had more fun in this car in just 3 days than I had in my bimmer in 3 years! Just as fast, and the mazda has a hell of alot more available options than the bimmer did, and all for about 12k less! I got mine fully loaded for 23K!! It is all you could want in a car, very sporty, good quickness, handling is great and it has room for just about everything!!

  • Giving It A Whirl! - 2004 Mazda Mazda6

    I just bought my Mazda 6 this weekend. Ill give an update in a few months : ) So far, Im loving it!

  • Best wagon owned - 2004 Mazda Mazda6
    By -

    I have owned this fantastic car for just over a year now and just love it! I have a family of 4 and have taken several long vacations in this car and there was plenty of cargo room and comfortable seating for everyone. I have had no problems with this car at all. I was a little disappointed in the gas mileage, sticker said 28 mpg and Im getting about 22 or 23 mpg. Overall Im very impressed with this car.

  • A gorgeous sedan - 2004 Mazda Mazda6
    By -

    I wanted a V6 5-speed with no options and since there are no such cars on any dealers lot, I had to order. But the wait was worth it. My lapis blue Mazda 6 is beautiful, handles like its on rails, and is quite fast above 3,000 RPM. If youre into performance and looks, you wont find any better sedan at $19,200.

    After I wrecked my 02 Maxima, I wanted another sport sedan that wouldnt break the bank like the Nissan.....this Mazda 6 is a worthy replacement. While the V- 6 lacks a little power (compared to some other cars in its class), it handles much more like a sports car than the Nissan ever did. The "fun-to- drive" factor is definitely high with the Mazda 6.
