Nice car before dashboard started melting

I got this car used for my daughter. It's a good car. The only things I don't like is that the car is a bit long for our city parking spaces. This car didn't come with a rear camera, so I've had to have one installed because it's impossible to to judge how close I am in the rear due to the exterior styling. The worst part is that the dashboard is melting, so I've had to put a dashboard cover on it.

Faulty automatic transmission.

I bought this car with only 75,000 miles on it and the transmission is already slipping. The D light flashes and sometimes it goes out and the car revs all the way up to the 5 on the rpm if driving at highway speeds. I'm always worried the engine in going to blow. I've only had this car for about 6 months and it has been to the dealer 3 times already for this issue so I'm not sure if they really know what's wrong with it. Very disappointing for a Japanese car since I always thought they were supposed to be reliable. I don't think I'll ever be buying another Mazda again, and would not recommend.

Good reliable car.

This car will provide someone good reliable and comfortable transportation for years to come. It has pretty good gas milage and plenty of room. For a small 4 cylinder, it has pretty good passing power as well.

Best car I’ve ever had, just bought it today

I saw a 2012 Mazda 6 I Touring, and after reading about it & checking the vehicle report, mileage, I had to have it! It’s gorgeous! And customer service couldn’t get any better than what I had. Tom Dickinson, Chris, Debbie & many others were there to do whatever they could for me. They were kind, patient & understanding. I felt like I knew Tom my whole life, when I left. And I have poor credit. Call these ppl & they’ll work w/you. I’d give 11 stars if I could, but 5 is the top, so they get it!! I’m so happy!! They helped me make my dream come true. And I want to thank my daughters too & my son in law Erick. None of this wldve been possible w/o their help as well. 😁

Most reliable car I've owned.

Excellent car. Runs great. Very good gas mileage MPG at: 24/30/27. Handles well, does great on Interstate highways at 80 MPH. Peppy for a 4-cyl.

Very reliable, drives and handles beautifully

This car has treated us very well. It is fun to drive. The drivers seat lacks support for the lower back which makes longer trips uncomfortable but we use it primarily for short trips around town and for that it is great. Very reliable, no maintenance issues at all. It's just a very well made car.
