Mazda 6 - reliable, safe, comfortable, with all the bells and whistles!
The mazda6 drives smoothly and reliably in harsh weather conditions. The features including the backup camera and blind spot lights have ensured my safety for 6 years. There is also built-in Bluetooth that has worked well over the years, but at the moment it is getting a little slow. The speakers have great sound and allow you to split up the sound front to back and left to right. The car is comfortable, reliable, and has a smooth look overall.

Those commercials are right. Zoom Zoom.
The best features of the car is the Bose speakers, highway usage of miles, and how fast this car grips the road.

Review of how much fun my 2014 Mazda 6 is.
I love everything about my car. It handles really well and is fun to drive. There is plenty of space in the back as well as the trunk. It is stylish even after 6 years. I love the sound system in the car which is made by Bose. I have not had any major repairs yet so I am very lucky.

ZOOM ZOOM...MY FULL SIZE SPORTS CAR
My mazda reminds me of driving a Miata, just a bigger version. It's fun to drive, body hugging seats, and good on gas mileage but can transport the whole family
accountCircle Sheila R
Sleek style, comfortable ride!
I have had no problems with performance or reliability. The seats are comfortable and there is plenty of legroom. The style is sleek and it looks great on the outside. It's a very smooth ride and it has a large trunk. There are plenty of cup holders and storage areas.

Great vehicle- definitely more pros than cons.
This vehicle is trendy and has all the bells and whistles of that of a luxury import. Cameras, auto sensors, heated seats, fog lights, moonroof, spoiler. Cons: the stock tire is the Dunlop (very good brand) be prepared to pay at least $240 to replace a tire. Also, when the tire light comes on, it does not tell you which tire has the issue.

I really like my car and would not want anything else.
It is a fun vehicle with room for my family but also feels like a sporty car. I just love the way it drives too.

Timing chain
All maintenance done to schedule. Car had 110 k miles. Engine noise at low rpm. Told timing chain. Owned many vehicles first for this expensive repair. Very disappointed
accountCircle Erick T
Performance is nice, it has a lot of get up and go.
It is nice for how old it is. The features are outdated but it still has good performance. I have had no issues with the vehicle. I just keep up with regular maintenance. It is a very reliable car and great on gas mileage. Great and fun to take on long road trips because of the gas mileage.
accountCircle Cody J
Great gas mileage and good for a small family.
The Mazda 6 has great gas mileage. It's a smooth ride. Plenty of room for a small family. It has comfortable seating. It has Bluetooth radio, a backup camera and blind spot monitor. It looks more expensive than what it is. Not performance issues whatsoever so far, I have had it over a year.
accountCircle D L
It's a safe reliable car to drive and reasonably cheap to run compared to other cars
It's ok, gets me from point A to point B, safe , reliable, but nothing special, I do love the leather seats though, so easy to keep clean especially with kids, easy to drive, steer and park although it is relatively long
accountCircle Robert L
Hidden gem! Family friendly car with a sporty exterior. I love my Mazda!
I bought my vehicle used about 3 and a half years ago. My Mazda 6 is probably my favorite car I have ever had. I have never had any issues with it but I am also the type of guy that takes care of his car. I believe a car will treat you good if you treat it good and my Mazda has been great to me. I love the performance, the gas mileage, the sporty look and the space the vehicle offers. The safety feature are definitely a plus as I travel quite a bit with my family.
accountCircle Marnie S
I am on my second set of tires I have purchased myself. It has 89,000 miles on I.
It is cute and comfortable for the most part. But I have had issues with mine. Not so good in snow. And there is a sensor that is out and does not recognize when the car is in park which then causes the not to shut down properly and then drains the battery and car will not start the next day. Have had the sensor replaced once already with it starting to happen again. Also the cooling system can get a sulfur smell.
accountCircle Taylor G
Mazda 5 the biggest little car.
It drives well, compact but seats 6 people. I just wish it had a little more trunk space and leg room. I like that there are 4 bucket seats, the first two rows and the black is a small bench. I do not like how easily the paint faded on the hood of our car. They could just be because of the California sun, but I have had it repaired twice and it continues to fade.
accountCircle Karen G
Luxury at a price you can afford.
It has more road noise then most cars, the interior of the car is nice, not high end but not low end either. The gas mileage is great. The car corners well on mountain roads. And drives smooth on the open road. It is a great looking vehicle, sometime mistaken for a BMW, or a Lexus. Overall I would purchase again, minus the road noise, it is worth the money.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Cameron W.

It has a great kick and strong engine. It has a lot of room inside, even for a smaller car. The backup camera and blind spot monitoring are very helpful. Gas mileage is great, I usually get about 500 miles on the highway per fill up.

likeFilled Adrielle J.

Its sleek and easily maneuvered in traffic. It comes with a sunroof and seat warmers when fully loaded. It gets great gas mileage and we have enjoyed using it for road trips. When using it for road trips it is roomy enough inside and it has plenty of trunk space. The fully loaded vehicle also comes with automatic start up and push to start.

likeFilled Harry F.

It is an awesome value for what I paid, over $20000. It is so quiet and the only maintenance has been that which was scheduled and nothing else. I love the miles per gallon average which is over 30. It is a dream to drive on vacation. I would buy another.

likeFilled Nestor R.

Gas mileage is great 29 mpg is average with combined city and highway driving. Interior is roomy and plenty of trunk space. Comes with a 6 speed standard transmission not many cars in its category at that time came with that. A very comfortable ride.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Cameron W.

The radio system is not great. It has a noticeable delay on the Bluetooth, which causes lots of issues. It shakes pretty significantly when coming to a stop at speeds above 45 miles per hour. Not sure if that is my fault and something that can be fixed.

dislikeFilled Adrielle J.

The cons of my vehicle is that it is not a family car. We are a married couple with 3 kids and while we all fit. This is not the ideal vehicle for long family trips. Another con for this vehicle is that it has low profile tires and they can be pretty expensive to replace.

dislikeFilled Harry F.

None really, once the trunk didn't open properly but the dealer took care of it at no charge. I am not sure what you expect here. There are really no cons to owning the Mazda 6. Maybe the windshield fluid reservoir could be larger.

dislikeFilled Nestor R.

Engine is underpowered for this size car I suppose you would not get that great gas mileage with a bigger engine. Very noisy interior when on the highway, front seats have become loose and rock slightly. Central console cabinet door is very loose.
