Great combination of price and quality.
I really love Mazda 6. It is very reliable can. It is pretty much fuel saving vehicle. Also, it is very big inside, so it can fit bunch things for like groceries, and other purchases in there. Very stylish design. Have no technical problems, just regular maintenance.

This car is a great fit for anyone.
This car is very reliable even over 100,000 miles. Great for long distances and many passengers. My family uses this for road trips and day to day transport. It is easy to drive and ideal for families with multiple kids or people who travel a lot. I recommend this car.

It's designed to be safe, fun to drive and look stylish.
It's comfortable, rides well, has great pickup and braking, and it's made well. The only thing I dislike is that the visibility out of the side and rear windows isn't as good as I'd like - though that's the same with all cars now.

Mazda is an excellent company.
It is extremely cost-efficient. I definitely believe the my car is well worth its price. I'll continue using for the coming years. Mainly, to it having good!Mileage and being cheap on the gallon. It always has good room and easy accessibility to the trunk from the inside.

Reliable and comfortable car.
Great vehicle, really economic to maintain and to fuel up. Had no issues in almost two years since I purchased it. Nice interior with a really spacious trunk fits my children double stroller and extra stuff. Beautiful white and red lights on the inside.

Great car with plenty of room.
It has been a very reliable car. I'drives great especially with the high performance tires although I do not currently have those anymore, still drives great though. I haven't had any issue with it in the past 6 years I have had it besides my muffler rusting out a little so it is a little louder but still runs great. Has lots of room with a good size trunk.

Nice vehicle for everyday driving.
Runs well, but the lack of power locks is a pain. Slight issue with loud road noise. Trunk is plenty spacious enough, and works well with my bike rack.

It is an all black 2013 Mazda 6.
My brakes make a screeching sound when I press the breaks and my ac stopped working out of nowhere and magically started working again. Other than that nothing else is really wrong with the car. It gets me where I need to be in time and it is not a super old car it is only 5 years old right now.

It's sporty and fun to drive but it's not a practical car for long drives in upstate NY.
It's terrible in the snow and I have a long commute. I would not buy again.
accountCircle Donald L
Mazda still doing its thing.
It has bad gas mileage and rides a little rough. Tire pressure light keeps coming on. The engine runs good and it gets me where I want to go. Replacement tires are great, but they came from china. It has a 6-disc CD player which works great. We got this car new in 2013 and will keep it for a few years yet.

My summary of the Mazda 6 on American roads.
The Mazda 6 is a very good and reliable, lightweight sedan. Though wind does shake the car if it is very windy. It is very good on gas especially if you are driving highway. The rear seat is very spacious. It isn't a fast car due to the engine only being a four cylinder. And the engine does run loudly.
accountCircle Daylin V
Great car that is reliable and sleek.
No problem. Very reliable and big on inside which makes it comfortable. Very sleek design and has been able to get me and my family around. Have a son with a car seat in the back and there is plenty of room. It is also good on gas mileage and has been able to get me to work and been my daily driver.
accountCircle Tanya L
Cool colors, bad gas mileage.
My car has a sporty look and plenty of passenger seating as well as ample trunk space. I like that it is roomy, although I would prefer automatic seats as well as sunroof and leather. The gas mileage is not great - the later model year Mazdas have better fuel efficiency. But this car is adequate for my needs and was within my price range. As it gets older, I have had to replace the oxygen sensor twice.
accountCircle George D
I love it no complaints about it.
Runs good no complaints. Takes me where I need to go and some. Good gas mileage can travel to 15 cities before filling up again. If I have the money I would buy a second one. Good engine and tires. Car good on the freeway and some off road terrain. And Bluetooth available.

The pros of the Mazda 6 are comfy and soft seats, drives very smoothly, loud speakers and bass, looks super nice and sleek, easy to wash, great gas mileage, drives well in harsh and uneasy weather conditions.

The cons of the Mazda 6 are that it can be fairly difficult to see over the dashboard when trying to park or see small details in the road, can feel crammed with several people inside, seats can sometimes feel hard to manage.

About $10,000 used. I think for the money it's a pretty good value. After fixing a few problems it will be as good as new.
