Mazda 6

I bought my Mazda6 GH luxury sports back in 2017. The engine was gone due to overheating (blown radiator) and they drive it until it stopped. I bought it with 460000km that's right... 460000km! I put a low KM engine in it with the matching gearbox (only because the original one was noisy) and just drove it. I have the full service history on it. The only issues I've had apart from routine service is tyres getting a bit noisy at the towards the end of their life and I have replaced the bose amp twice. I have now upgraded the head unit and done a

Good looking car, very smooth and comfortable. Interior is very spacious. Nice set of options.
But the CVT is very poorly tuned. it is jerky, unable to select the right gear.

The Mazda6 is the sort of care everyone really wants to own: totally reliable, good handling, practical, good on fuel and easy to service and repair yourself.

Every now and then carmakers produce a car that has none of the irritations that go with car ownership: minor electrical faults, a component that needs to be replaced more often than it should, noisy on the road and so on; the Mazda6 is one of them.

Expect 6.8 litres per 100 kilometers if you live in a rural area (that's over 42 imperial mpg). Not bad for a mid sized 2.3 litre car. Hand

Sedan Mazdas better than hatches? The sedan Mazda 6 is ten inches higher and ten inches longer than the sedan Mazda 3. It is only an inch or so wider. So think about the better fuel economy of a 2 ltr mazda 3 with a vision pack and safety kit. Much better on your pocket!

Fuel pump failed after 110000 km on my 2015 mazda 6. Bought new, fully serviced with mazda. Metal fragments found throughout fuel system. Surely this is another model that mazda needs to do a recall on the fuel pump. If mazda does not come to the party and accept some responsibility through Mazdacare, the current quote to repair is over $7000! So far, no go.

My Mazda 6 Classic S/W has been the best car we ahve ever owned, dood on petrol, comfortable and still stylish today. Except the auto started to make juddering noises at 1,500 revs ay 60klms while trying to down or up change. I had it looked at a reputable auto gear box firm and I was informed the problem was a glaze that had formed on the front plate and when the when it was trying to change gear it was bouncing on and off the plate trying bind. That was Xmas 2021 so I had to waih unti Jan 2022 to have it repaired. Drove around in manualy mo

Negatives: Have owned this vehicle for over a year now & I still struggle to get comfortable in it. Roof line is way too low iam 6ft tall and bump my head on terrible angle from A pillars to front doors entry & exit, & front seats don't adjust low enough for us taller Australians. Rear seat entry and exit is better. Too many buttons to adjust the cruise control, risking your eyes on the road, a toggle stick would be better. Annoying istop system I always forget to disengage, with starter motor already replaced under warranty & battery replaced

This car is amazing. I have an 07 series 2 classic sports sedan, it now has 225k just reconditioned the 5 speed sports shift auto. It is so much more than just a car. Handles incredibly, acceleration is totally insane. Well not many cars will take you off at the lights but on the other hand with the variable cam timing it just purrs along when you need. Maintaining 110kmh up a hill like M1 for instance takes no effort. It is also quite economical even if you are giving it the business.
Love my Mazda.

Bought a second hand 2018 GL1031 model, 2.5NA engine, 19 inch wheels, leather (not nappa) seats, without the hi-tech gadgets eg., auto lane keeping, 360 degree cam, etc.

It has only got 19K km on the clock and the ex-owner only used it to fetch kids to and from school. Pristine condition!

I have found the leather seats are of lower quality compared to my old GY Mazda 6. I think the material is called leatherette (?) a leather-looking plastic.

The other is the control panel. I think Mazda tried "too hard" to mimic BMW's driver's control se

I have had my Mazda 6 sedan for about fifteen months. Mostly I am happy with the car.
* The standard Toyo tyres are generally ok but not as good in certain situations, like on rutted roundabouts and uneaven surfaces. For the previous fifteen years I had been used to Pirelli tyres and will buy these as replacements when due.
* The airconditioning vents are not well positioned, especially on the driver's side. They don't move sideways enough if you like air in your face, unless you crank it up and then it is too noisy. Also, the left side of th

I am retired & use this car as my daily driver as personal transport mainly for myself & my wife, occasionally including other family members. I have it serviced every 12 months even travelling less than 7000ks a year. I have never had any problems with it.

Mazda 6 GT 2015 model bought from Mazda. From the day 1 squeaky noise coming when in turning. Till date Mazda couldn't figure it out and fix it. For the last couple of years, the rim coating is peeling off and looks really ugly. They say this is because of the car wash chemical I used. I always use Mcguiar's gold wash and I know it is good. So in my view, the quality of Mazda is bad. Stay away from Mazda.
