The new Mazda6 shape was a winner from the start. Very stylish ans sleak, it aimed to please. With standard features such as climate control, cruise control, 6 stack CD player and active matic transmission just to name a few, the Mazda was a winner inside and out. The 4cyl, 2.3l engine meant getting 600km out of a single tank was not an issue. Averaging around 9.5-9.8l per 100km in built up areas made it very easy to manage financially as well. Great car, packed with features

This is a stunning car. We went out on a limb and bought one of the first Mazda6's available and have had little problems since. It's definitely better looking that many other cars in its class (Camry, Accord) and had some of the best handling in car this size. While the gas mileage is so-so (V-6), the engine note is spectacular. If you get an automatic, have the tranny fluid changed regularly or its quick to start slipping and missing gear changes. Other than that, its a joy to have!

I like how reliable this car was, started up everyday. Looked great and the style matches up with the newer models. Gas mileage is superb, definitely comparable to newer cars. Spacious interior yet actually kind of intimate. Large backseats, I imagine it would be good for a family. Overall an enjoyable car to drive.

I absolutely love this car!!! The most fun ever to drive! Gas isn't so great, but that's because i like to go fast. :) It is an amazingly smooth ride... oh, love!

Wow! that's the only thing that can be said. mazda really turned over a new leaf when they unvailed this car and everything in the generation following. it's got it all for under 30 grand. it lead its class with a 220 horse direct injected V6 with a close ratio 5 speed transmition (6.5 sec 0-60, 14.8 sec quarter mile, could reach at least 140mph but is governed at 120) and stock handeling it amazing compared to anything like it. and i would recomend the racingbeat suspension package, AEM cld air induction and racingbeat exhaust to make it unbeatable (engine mods on the whole are limited). all of the interior features are cool. it has a 6cd changer, front bucket seats that will hug you in a curve, even the shifter is just right (easy to reach, fairly short shift compared to others in its class, but better than a beamer)my only problem is that it needs another gear for highway driving that would improve highway mileage (rated at 20 city, 27 hwy). it runs at abt 32-34 hundred rpm at 80 mph. so it isn't bad, but it could be better. another thing is that its feather-light clutch requires a sweet spot of engine revs at many a stoplight--too much and you'll smoke it, and it'll bog if you use too few. so it's not the easiest manual to drive (let alone learn on). Overall, this ride is destined to live on as one of, if not the best sport sedans of this century pioneering for a new age.
