  • Im lovin my zoom-zoom! - 2004 Mazda Mazda6
    By -

    I bought my 2004 Mazda6s from a dealership a few weeks ago. It was used, but had barely 6,000 miles and was in EXCELLENT condition. I was in love with the 6 for a very long time, and I am absolutely delighted to own one. My 6s is fully loaded, down to the leather seats, Bose Sound system and the sunroof. This car has it all, a head-turning exterior, a fun and fab interior, and the 3.0 V6 engine gives you some pep when you want it - yet still remains quiet (a lot less noisy than its competitors). I am very very happy that I purchased this car and I look forward to many great times ahead in my zoom-zoom!

    I jumped into the need another car category last October, with gasoline taxing the middle class and below. I quietly looked for a late model, used vehicle and drove nearly everything out there. Plenty of used American cars, surprisingly plenty of Toyotas, Honda and Mazda were harder to find. When I drove the 6 its was perfect. Smooth, comfortable, room for my family, 30 mpg, and no up front hybrid cost.

    This car is a true sports sedan. It has ample power and Great Great handling. The 5 speed auto transmission with manual shifting is just more fun. This is the first car the seat adjusts to fit me at 63"

  • Frugal Sport Sedan - 2004 Mazda Mazda6

    My criteria was a midsize sedan with high MPG, and very fun to drive. This car is fantastic. I get 28 MPG driving around and 32 MPG on a trip. The performance is great above 3,000 RPM. The car is also very quiet inside. I have never seen an oil filter like this! The 4 cyl has a housing where you replace the paper filter media. This media is hard to find and many places cannot perform an oil change because they do not have an oil filter.

  • New family car - 2004 Mazda Mazda6

    I love this vehicle. I have a child on the way, and my husband and I were looking for a family vehicle. I am still young enough that I cant see myself driving a minivan or station wagon or even a full-size car. The Mazda 6 is perfect. It is still sporty yet gives us the room we need will a growing family. Who says moms cant drive cool cars?

    I bought this car to replace a Miata lost to Katrina. I absolutely love it! This is my 11th Mazda. Have only had to do oil and other fluid changes, and put a set of tires on it at 50K. I swapped the noisy Michelins for Riken Raptors and it handles as if on rails. I use it to haul my kayaks, and it performs well loaded down with two 14 foot ocean kayaks

  • Fun little car! - 2004 Mazda Mazda6
    By -

    I must confess that I got my 6 with the 5 speed auto. It is still a fun car. The V6 is very smooth but will start barking at about 4,000rpm. The car is fairly linear through the turns with great steering feel the whole way. The transmission has a tendency to hunt for gears. In two years I have done nothing more than routine maintenance every 6 months - a dream compared to my last car. I still have not gotten over how pretty this car is inside and out. With the hatchback design it swallows everything we need to carry. Gas mileage! It is rated at 19/26, but in mixed driving I never seem to do better than 18 or 19. Interior is comfortable but wind noise is abundant. Opt for the Bose!

  • Pleasently surprised - 2004 Mazda Mazda6
    By -

    I have 8400 miles on 6i w/auto. No problems at all. Well built, comfortable and economical. Red w/alloy wheels, no other extras. Trip to Canada with only 1100 miles on car, biggest problem is car is so smooth and quiet that you find yourself doing 80-90 without realizing it. Excellent exterior styling, well thought out interior with lots of nice standard features. Excellent HVAC.

  • Just bought it! - 2004 Mazda Mazda6

    I love this car. It was a toss up between the TSX and the 6. I couldnt take the hassle with the hard to come by TSX and the 6 was more bang for the buck. It has a lot more room, especially in the trunk. Perfect for the family I hope to have soon.

  • great price, great car - 2004 Mazda Mazda6
    By -

    Im very happy with the car, though the gas mileage has been far less than the epa tested (the only major issue with the car, probably would not be an issue to me without the high gas prices). The only quality issue so far is a rattle in the rear hatch which the dealer promptly fixed.
