  • Take the Long Way Home - 2004 Mazda Mazda6
    By -

    This car is incredible to say the least. This car performs incredible with the 4-cylinder engine with 5sp manual. You’ll want take the long way home, I find every excuse to drive this car. This is the best handling car that can actually fit 5 full size adults for under $30k period. The handling is far better than the Acura TSX. I option forgot how big the car is when driving it, it feels like a subcompact most of the time. With a starting price under 20k, its a great value, with every option you’d expect from a car in this class. To sum it up, an inexpensive car, that’s comfortable, that hands down outperforms anything in its class, and looks great.

    I have never had a better time driving then in my Mazda6. I also love the fact that the car turns heads. I looked at the Accord, Camry, and Altima and none were as fun to drive or as stylish as the Mazda6.

    Hi! I had a 98 Mazda Protege and got rid of that at 140k. I just bought the Mazda 6 (i) last week so I am still in the "honeymoon" stages, but hope to be continue to be there! Handles good, very fast and look good. Very smooth on the road.

    With the perfect blend between Japanese technology and european design, the Mazda 6 is one of the best buys around. Mazda does a great job of giving you a ton of car for the money. If you consider the fun to drive factor and ride and handling, Mazda is the clear cut winner.

  • Best car I have ever owned!!!! - 2004 Mazda Mazda6
    By -

    I just bought a Mazda6 and It is the best car I have ever bought. Its fun, fast, practical and has a sleek design (inside and out). (I bought the V6 sports sedan w/ rear spoiler. . a must) I would recommend this car to everyone.

  • Overall we love it - 2004 Mazda Mazda6
    By -

    Bought this new and have over 50K on it after 4.5 years. Only issues have been an LCD display problem (very recently at the 4.5 year mark so its out of warranty) and the plastic around the lower end of the steering wheel column rubbing against something and sometimes "creaking" very low as you drive -- otherwise the fit and finish of the car was/is excellent. We avoided the 6cyl version as that was a Ford engine with noted reliability issues. Besides being a little underpowered, the 2.3 4cyl has been excellent so we bought the same the next year in our Mazda5 (which has also been excellent after 50K miles). Overall weve been very pleased with our Mazda6 "Sport" (hatchback).

  • Nice car, but.... - 2004 Mazda Mazda6
    By -

    Got this car loaded - everything except the leather. After a year and 26,000 miles, I still enjoy it, but its not without faults. Its a good blend of utility, looks, comfort and sportiness. It does lots of things well, but nothing really great. Its quick enough, but doesnt inspire me to race (could use 30 more hp). Its fuel efficient enough, but no Civic. The handling is good, but only in dry weather (bad tire choice - I cant wait to replace them). It looks great (especially in black) and I still find myself staring at it. Definitely stands out in the crowd. The interior is well laid out. Seats are firm and comfortable, but the fabric pills up like a cheap sweater.

  • Great Car - 2004 Mazda Mazda6
    By -

    I looked at 12 diferent cars in the family sedan category and finally settled on the Mazda 6 with a 6 cylinder and the GFX package. Im glad I took the time to test drive all those cars because in the end I believe I got the best looking car and best value in a family sedan . Love the Bose sound system. The car handles like a sports car,with precise steering ,nice qwiet ride, loads of trunk space.Thanks Ford and Mazda.
