Mazda MAZDA6 (2008 - 2011) Reviews, Pricing & Specs

My car got crushed by a tree Sunday night during a storm, I had it 2-3 years and absolutely loved everything about it, it was an amazing first car, Id have ran it until it wouldnt run anymore but the tree had other ideas I guess I picked up my new mazda6 on Friday morning, its a 2010 and missing the popup storage area on the dash like my 2008 but its got plenty of other nice new features so its okay Absolutely recommend ❤️Jul 09, 2023

We got this car for it's great reliability, fun driving experience and roomy interior and cargo space. we've had absolutely no problems and its been a pleasant ownership experience so far. We do however miss some of the premium features that come standard on other entry level sedans, and the interior materials and fabrics feel a little cheap. There are times where the cockpit shape, and the sloping exterior body shape make visibility a problem, but after your get used to the reference points it's fine and doesn't effect maneuverability.

Having switched from a Hyundai Sonata that basically fell apart at 100,000 miles, I went for a 2010 Mazda6 iTouring. I haven't looked back. My daughter has a 2007 Mazda 3 hatchback and loves it. I can see why. Except for a bit of acceleration sluggishness due to a 4 cylinder engine (170hp)but a lot better than the Sonata (130hp) (I should have gone for the 6, but I wanted the gas mileage instead of acceleration), the M6 excels in all other areas. I like the styling, moderately sporty, but since it's a new 2010, I can't really comment on reliability and repairs. Road worthiness is great. It's a pretty quiet ride, and smooths out most bumps. Given that I drive mostly in or around the city (bad DC traffic), I've been tracking my gas mileage and have stayed steady at 25mpg for the past 8 months. On the open road, I'm getting 32-33mpg. Not bad for a mid-size. Two features that I really liked were the built-in Bluetooth, and the Blind Spot Monitoring. The latter has saved me more than a few times from moving into a lane I shouldn't have. Put this car on your short list. I compared it to the Camry and the Accord and it still worked for me.Sep 10, 2010

I'm obsessive when it comes to buying a new car. I have researched the mid-size class for 4 months before buying the Mazda6. I have test driven multiple times the Pontiac G8, Altima, Accord, Malibu, Fusion, and Camry. I was skeptic when I went to Mazda because some of the other cars are so highly rated. At the end, I decided for the Mazda6 s Sport even though I get the GM employee discount. If you are in the market for a sporty mid-size family sedan, you cannot beat the 2009 Mazda6. It's interior space is bigger than any of it's competitors save the Accord. It's trunk space is the biggest of all cars. The V6 has more power and torque than it's competitors. What really convinced me to buy the Mazda though was its sporty feel. It drives like a sports car...the total opposite of a Camry. It's a FUN car to drive. It zips through curves and makes you feel like an extension of the car rather than isolating you from the road. Much like the BMW that my wife drives. On top of this, the Mazda was cheaper than any of the other cars. Mazdas had been criticized in the past for reliability issues which prompted most people to buy Honda or Toyota, but that is no longer true. Mazda has greatly improved their quality and to back that up, they give you a *lifetime* powertrain warrenty. If you are in the midsize market, do yourself a favor and test drive the Mazda 6. You will NOT regret it.Jan 05, 2009
