2003 Mazda Mazda6 consumer reviews

I have the Mazda 6i, 2003 model with the spoiler. This is the sports model, with the ability to drive as an automatic & can switch to manual, if desired. I don't remember a problem with it and I bought it new. Has awesome rims, that I get comments on all the time, by males, of course. Gas mileage is incredible. I love everything about it but the comfort. If riding for a long time, it is not very comfortable.

We bought a used 2003 Mazda 6 for our daughter. This car gave us problems immediately. It had 99,000 miles, but we hoped that it would be a reliable vehicle as it's a Mazda. The problem was the TCS and also the transmission. The car would brake and not accelerate for no apparent reason. She would have to pull off of the road, turn the car off and restart it. The dealer had a 30 day warranty, and tried to fix the problem unsuccessfully. Luckily the registration took awhile to go through because it was in another state and we were able to turn the car back in and put the money toward another vehicle. I would not recommend the 2003 Mazda 6. I think later model years for the Mazda 6 are more reliable.

I have owned the Mazda 6 for about 5 year or 45thousand miles and it had been fantastic. I have really grown to love the Mazda brand because of this vehicle. For the price i think you would be very hard pressed to find a car as good and a fun as the mazda 6. Its hard to explain in such few words but this car is a perfect balance of performance and comfort making it in my opinion very fun to drive (3.0L). As far a reliability goes i have only had to replace the ignition coils, fuel purge valve, and routine maintenance and i drive the car pretty hard. As one can see the 2003 mazda 6 is a fantastic car to own and would be almost impossible to beat for the price. (depending on what your looking for)

i have this car 9years is exellent i am thinking to replays it with something else but what ? has very good chassi breaks handling fuil economy. the only car who has the same performance is the bmw 3 series . or i go to the plan b keep the mazda and go right way for exotic car. so i see

it looks great from the outside, but in the inside has too many problems. the lining from the roof has started falling down, the cd player eats cds and doesnt give them back . the butt warmers only work when they feel like it. one side works the other wont. and so on. since my husband is away for work, i am left with this car, which has many blind spots and seems like every time i fix something something else breaks. either i got a lemon or this car is a money pit. im not very tall and if i put the chair all the way up to see over the hood, i cant see out the back window. if i lower the seat to see out the back, i cant see over the hood. the lastest problem with this dud, is that apparently theres two oil pans, and they have silcone around them so they dont leak, well my doesnt have the silcone anymore to fix this its 300. and u must leave it over night. when air has been on for along time the car starts to smoke, because of the oil. not worth the money. id much rather have a pinto.

I bought this car used a few years ago. I got it at a very reasonable price. I had absolutley no problems in the first 2 years driving it. All I had to do were oil changes. After 100,000 miles I have had to do a few repairs but they were all expected with the amount of miles I had. New brakes,and a belt is all I've had done. I did a transmission flush wich isn't mandatory but good for the car. Also tires but thats with every car.My check engine light has never come on. My car gets a lot of wear and tear and has been holding up beautifully. It is so dependable I don't know what I would do without it. Not good in a lot of snow but thats expected without 4 wheel drive. I would reccomand this to anyone. My mom has a mazda too and she got hers brand new. She loves it and has zero problems. My next car will without a doubt be a mazda. :)

nice beautiful car, great value, detailed to perfection, looks like a white little personal limosine.

I love this car, it's stylish and fun to drive. I have never had any problems with it! It is comfortable and had plenty of room.

This car will surprise you by its pickup. This thing is real fast and handle great. Automanual trany adds more zip to it if you prefer manual. Overall, I love this car and highly recommend it.

I bought this car brand new in December 2002 and owned it for 6 years and 7 months. In that time, I put 85k miles on it. I traded it in today on a 2004 BMW 3-series. Of my old friend, I can only say this: it is a wonderful car for the price! I never had a problem with it mechanically. The A/C blew ice cold from the day I bought it through the day I traded it. The car handles far, far better than an Accord or Camry and looks sportier too! The interior ergonomics are fabulous. Everything is laid out intuitively within easy reach. My only complaint about this car is the quality of materials they used. I wore a hole through the wrapping of the steering wheel and the leather gear shift lever. The headliner started to come down after about 5 yars. A piece of the plastic grill on the fascia of the car fell off. Nevertheless, the car handled great although if you took a turn too hard you would get a lot of body lean. I had the four cylinder which had a bit of pep to it but you'll get beat off the line by a Ford Focus. The cabin was relatively quiet, although the engine made a bit of noise when revved. At speed on the interstate you could still have a conversation in hushed tones. In summation, while I am happy to have graduated up to the BMW 3-series, I absolutely loved my Mazda 6. While it never thrilled me with its performance, it always did what I needed it to do and it was extremely dependable in a way that made you take it for granted. I will miss this car!
