  • Great car for $$$ - 2004 Mazda Mazda6
    By -

    For the $$$ you cant beat. Plus, it has unique style that sets it apart from camrys, accords, and other mass- produced 4 doors that old people drive. Power is only good up top so you need to keep it there if you want to have fun. Handling is excellent - I owned a 91 300ZX and this handles just as good. Interior style is good, though quality of materials is lacking. This is my third MAZDA - I will definitely purchase again. They seem to be the only manufacturer that can put all of the right peices together in one package. Not necessarily the best in any one category, but I feel it is best all- around.

  • My second 6 - 2004 Mazda Mazda6
    By -

    This is my second 6. My newest is a 2004 6s 5 door. I gave my 2003 S Sedan to my son. The 6s is absolutely the best sport sedan for the money. It handles on par with any FWD sports sedan. The leather interior is classy, yet understated. The driving experience is second to none. Its the best value out there. Now comes the 5 door..OMG...take all the attributes of the sedan and add the ability to carry almost anything I need to! AND it doesnt look like a stodgy hatchback. In fact its difficult to tell between the Sedan and the 5 door, until you open the trunk. With this feature, the value went up again!

  • Denmark - Actually 2.0 liter - 2004 Mazda Mazda6
    By -

    Great car in Denmark. Has good pickup for a 2.0 liters 141 hp. and thats pretty good for a European car. Nice interior (alcantara like). Mine is Sparkling silver which is a pretty nice mix between silver and golden, it actually changes color depending on the weather. When its dark the color is more silver and when its sunny the color is more golden. It has the standard CD and no-name speakers which sound pretty nice. You have to understand that all car prices in Denmark cost "the price of the car" plus 180% tax, so all extras cost a fortune. I used to have an Opel vectra 1.6 liter and this is a step up, although I feel that some of the parts are a little cheap.

  • Love my 6! - 2004 Mazda Mazda6
    By -

    The 6 is a fantastic car. With the manual transmission, the 2.3l has great pickup with even greater gas mileage. Interior is comfortable even for me (66"). I upgraded from the Mazda 3 because of interior size. The styling is fantastic. Just add some nicer rims (mine came with the 16" plastic hubcaps) and youre good to go. Much more style and individuality than other cars in this class. Lots of OEM accessories to add to this car in the future. Way to go Mazda!

  • pretty nice car - 2004 Mazda Mazda6
    By -

    This is a graet car for the money. It has many nice features not offered on many cars in this class. The 6 cylinder engine cound use more torque, its a bit slow off the line. The exterior design is wonderful. The inside is also beautiful.

  • A great car - 2004 Mazda Mazda6
    By -

    Theres not much I can add to whats been said many times before: Very fun to drive, comfortable, great looking and affordable. I have no complaints.

  • Best Bang for the Buck - 2004 Mazda Mazda6
    By -

    I did 2-month research and almost did not buy this car when I found out it had Ford engine. It was between this and a 2002 Audi A4 1.8T Quatro. I chose the Mazda 6 Audi was too much $$$ for only all wheel drive difference. I have had it a day and I have no regrets. The pickup is lacking but the handling is awesome for a car without all wheel drive. I will increase the torque and low speed UMPH when after market products come out for this car but until then - my payments are less and my fun factor is still 9/10.

  • LOVIN IT - 2004 Mazda Mazda6

    I love my Mazda 6! Its fast, sporty, and fun. Its fully loaded!.Id recommend it to anyone!

  • SPORT SEDAN and then some - 2004 Mazda Mazda6
    By -

    The 6 is an engineering masterpiece for its price. Dont worry. Its not going to be the next Toyhonzukee; the 6 is unique and still rare. My 5-spd is responsive, shifts smoothly, quietly. Handling (esp. in turns) is outstanding; see how sharply it can corner. However, avoid roads in poor condition. The 6 is best on HWY or on smooth roads. Very stylish, comfortable interior; limited space in back seat. Cockpit lights are red; modern and attractive! Buy this car fully loaded (or not) and watch heads turn. It is a "must" if in your class and price range. Very fun to drive. If you want more speed, I believe many engine enhancements will soon become available.

  • Sweet Wagon - 2004 Mazda Mazda6
    By -

    Took delivery of a steel gray Wagon with Luxury Package (black leather), Bose Audio, Moonroof, Sport Package, Side Airbags on 6/22/04. I have the roof side rails and bumper step plate on order at the dealership and will have them install it in a couple of weeks. I traded in a 98 Mustang GT and I have to say that as sad as it was to depart with the mustang the Mazda met and has even exceeded my expectations. This is an excellent vehicle and great value for the money even if you have to have all sort of other items (moonroof, bose audio) in order to get side airbags. Excellent driving characteristics and great space.
