  • I Love This Car! - 2005 Mazda Mazda6
    By -

    I just bought the Mazda 6i Sports sedan and I have no regrets. I considered a Mazda 3; however, I needed a little more room. The 4 cylinder has plenty of power, and is wonderful on gas. The ride is also incredibly smooth. The interior is roomy, however the car itself is easy to parallel park. If you are looking for a fun car that has a lot of class, this car is for you.

    I bought this as a used car. It is a 2005 Mazda 6 hatchback and have had it for about a month. No problems at all and runs great. The fuel economy has been great! I love it... It got into an accident but was repaired impeccably! The only thing that needed replacing was a caliper boot which the dealership replaced. I would definitely get this again!

  • A Blast to drive! - 2005 Mazda Mazda6

    I traded in my 2004 Honda Accord for My Mazda6S. I took A beating ON TRADE-IN BUT IT WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY. I look forward to driving my Mazda every chance I get. Im a car FREAK and nothing compairs for the money. Best Advise: BUY ONE!

  • Wow! What a car - 2005 Mazda Mazda6
    By -

    What can I say. I bought my Mazda6 for the fuel economy (I had a truck...BLAH) and how surprised was I to find out that this 4 door sedan was a sports car in disguise! Aside from the roomy interior and the great handling this baby comes loaded with a BOSE sound system, an in dash 6 disc CD changer (I dont know if that is standard) and power everything. All my friends are jealous and I absolutely love this car. If youre looking for a fun car to drive that looks great and is light on the wallet (on the lot and at the pump) then the Mazda6 is the way to go. ZOOM!ZOOM!

  • Fun to drive sports sedan - 2005 Mazda Mazda6
    By -

    Solid car that is fun to drive, decent V6 overall although its just the duratec V6 from Ford, has great power from 3k and above but definitely needs more low end torque below 3k..gas mileage is subpar, when im driving it nice i can get up to 27mpg, but 24-25 is more common..awesome to drive on curvy roads, the stiff frame enables you to hug the road and you can fly through corners..5 speed is also very slick and a lot of fun to drive..bought this car w/ 18k and havent had to replace anything yet through 67k besides regular maintenance (F & R pads once, F & R rotors resurfaced once & then replaced, tires once)..heated seats and leather are also nice

  • Love that Mazda 6 - 2005 Mazda Mazda6
    By -

    In looking for a car we test drove several cars, Nissan Altima, Nissan Maxima. The Mazda 6, V6 was by far the best value for the money. The Maxima was my preferred choice until I drove the Mazda 6. It was readily apparent that the ride of the Mazda 6 was comparable to that of the Maxima. It is a smaller car, but had all the amenities that the Maxima had. It is an all around winner for comfort, exterior design, interior design (it is awesome!)and safety. For anyone who truly enjoys driving cars, the Mazda 6 is an utter delight! I absolutely adore this car!

  • Superb Car - 2005 Mazda Mazda6

    This is my third year with this car and it hasnt disappointed me yet. I have not had a single major problem, just usual maintenence. I highly recommend this for a driver looking for a cheap, reliable quality sport sedan.

  • Great Car - 2005 Mazda Mazda6
    By -

    I havent had the car for long, but I love it so far. Nice power, handling, ride. Ive had two Mazdas in the past and loved them, so I can only hope this one works out as well as the others did!

  • EXCELLENT! - 2005 Mazda Mazda6
    By -

    I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my car! With all leather interior, Bose stereo, and choice of fully auto or manual shifting "on the fly" this car rocks! It is just as nice as a mid priced Beamer and WAY nicer than any Honda. Everyone that gets into my car is surprised by the quality and the "cool factor" it has. Plus with side curtain and back side curtain airbags standard on this car it cant be beat.

  • My first five thousand miles - 2005 Mazda Mazda6
    By -

    This car is fun to drive! The power band of the V6 is excellent as well as the five speed manual transmission. Getting on and off freeways is fun!! The sport package is well worth the extra bucks.The comfort of the leather seats is perfect for me, and all that have driven with me. My 2001 Honda Accord is boring to drive compared to the Mazda Sport Wagon, so far so good on my first Mazda product!
