Awesome gas mileage

This car is by far a great choice in all aspects. Great gas mileage, great comfort, and cheap to maintain.

Most fun and reliable car ive owned.

The 2004 Mazda 6s is an awesome car. My 2004 Mazda 6 has 187,000 miles on it and I've taken care of my car well and replaced necessary things over time. The car is very sporty and pretty refined. For its age many would think that it is much newer than it is; similar to the 2004 Acura TL. The only issue I have with my car is that it has a 5 speed manual transmission instead of a 6 speed. Overall the Mazda 6 is great in everyway and will stay in my collection of cars.

Fantastic First Car

This Mazda6 has proven to be a great, reliable car. Its been running well since I've gotten the car. Plenty of room for my friends or my belongings. It's done well in many road trips.

Sporty Daily Driver

I own the six cylinder, 'S' version of this car. All around this is a great car that's reliable, quick, and stylish. One thing that I love the most is the body style. It's a sleek design for a car from the early 2000s. The car handles the road greatly as well. It's a daily driver car that gets me to where I need to be, but also a sporty car I can enjoy driving.

Best money spent.

It was a rental with 20,000 miles. It handle well and was great with MPG. I cried when I decided to trade it in for a truck and still think about it from time to time. Would buy a Mazada 6 again.

Love this V6 3.0 Great motor.

I bought the car used. I have driven it for over one year and no major problems, just basic maintenance. Great family wagon or passenger car with storage. Excellent POWER!

worst car i ever owned, 180k miles

Original owner of the s model (3.0 v6) and have always had some minor or major issue since the day I owned it. Including two bad duratec 3.0 engines, and electrical, brake, cooling system, ac, and misc problems. The first engine started having problems at 45 k and the second waranty engine started leaking oil at about 50 k. Steering systems and suspension seemed to hold up well but that was about it. I take good care of my cars and maintain them well. Had a old Toyota I bought new and after 167k miles did not have any unexpected problems. But this Mazda was the opposite but it only left me stranded a couple times. Dealerships aren't much better and together have cost me a lot of stress, aggravation, time and money. I have replaced tons of things on this car (lucky I had the extended warranty) and have had less problems with it after 100,000 miles than before. Poor design and quality and is hit or miss if you get a decent one or a bad one.
