We bought our classic mazda6 4 speed petrol wagon new in 2005. It’s a great car and 5 years on we’re still very happy with it. The standard features are great, especially the cargo barrier. We have had no issues, it’s very reliable and we still get the dealer to service it. We can fit 3 car restraints across the back and it’s a versatile family car. One thing to watch though is one of the children left an interior light on all day and the battery was flat that night. It is possible the battery was on the way out anyway.
looks good and drives well

I have owned this car since 2003. I have never had a single problem, mechanical or electrical. The quality and build is outstanding, not even a dash rattle after 9 years. The drive is sporting and steering direct. Mazda design is very eye catching and a step above the average sedan. My next purchase will definitely be another 6.
quality, value, sportiness

Purchased car second hand, fits our three children in with plenty of space left even with tall partner iin driver seat. Great on fuel and has good pickup, as good as previous 6 cyl car. Would recommend to everyone, I want this car forever.
Absolutely love this car, mazda 6 luxury sports hatch

My first test drive of the Mazda was great, it had heaps of pwer and a massive load space which I needed for my company. On the top end the engine struggled with overtaking large road trains, the SV6 Holden Sportwagon I had was a lot better at over taking than the Mazda. But in saying this my other co-workers have had the Mazda 6 wagon now for a few years and over 100,000km+ with no issues at all
Great size, and a name you can trust and get good value when trading in
Plastic feel and pricey to buy brand new

Great car - best I've owned. 135k and still going stong. Great highway car used to do the 12 hour trip to Cairns on its head.
2005 Luxury sports hatch 6sp manual. Fantastic, bose sound, leather seats, ride and road noice. Performance fantastic and very fuel economical!
Air conditioning compressor needed replacing 3.5 yrs after buying - lucky I had the 4 year warrantly as this was a $2000.00 replacement cost.

In late 2007, my husband and I went looking for a family wagon as we were expecting our first child. We wanted a wagon with plenty of room in the back, but we also wanted a nice looking car that was nice to drive, but wasn't too expensive. We looked at a few different cars, but quickly decided on a 2007 Mazda6 wagon (5sp auto). Mazda's are known to hold their value over the years and my husband had previously owned 2 Mazda's, so he knew they make good cars. The Mazda6 wagon looks trendy, is so easy and comfortable to drive, and handles really well around corners.
Great looking car, drives fantastically, heaps of leg room for everyone plus heaps of space in the back - a really nice car to drive overall

Great car - fule is not too bad - but I am used to smaller cars with better fuel economy. Really comfy for a small family. Lots of extra bits and pieces and gadgets which hubby loves. Climate control.Overall I would buy a mazda 6 again I really do enjoy driving the car in the city and on highways.
Really comfortable car seats - fornt and back. Boot is massive and can fit a pram plus the shopping. Will fit four adults comfortably.Climate control for different zones.
Blind spot. (thogh I do find every mazda I have driven has bad vision out the back generally) cant see much when i reverse.

A practical family car that also rewards the driver with impressive handling and sporty performance. The "6" was perfect for our regular trips from Melbourne to Northern NSW. We rarely filled the boot even with all our gear. It loved the twisty bits of road too.
Solid, reliable, never had a problem in 3 years. Great handling and sporty nature. Huge boot as big or bigger than larger sedans. Six speed gearbox.
overall gearing a bit short, giving 3000rpm at highway cruise. Economy only slightly better than the 2002 WRX it replaced.

Toyota reliability (I've owned a camry that did 355,000km) plus driver enjoyment that's half the price of Euro brands.
Amazing to drive! Beautiful, balanced, engaged, responsive steering and handling. 6 speed MANUAL a must. The lines are so curvaceous, please I must stop :)
Zoom zoom jingle. :) Can chew the juice a little but that's partly the driver's fault as it begs to be driven hard at times. Also the ride is fairly firm and there's a fair amount of road/tyre noise at times but the flip side is that you feel so engaged with the road and the car. :)

We love a 6 wagon and could not have asked for anything better. It was a replacement for our horrible ford territory
(2005 model) Great looker, nice interior finish, stacked with features such us climate control and 6 stacker CD player. Even that its a small wagon still has big boot. With seats down i fitted to flat packed bunk beds from IKEA in the boot. Great sounding engine for 4 cylinder and engine never struggles with extra weight over standard 6. Comfortable seats even with 3 people in the back seat. Safety is great to with 6 airbags and TSC. Amazingly great handleing even for a front driver plus a wagon. Good fuel ecconomy too

Mazda 6 is owned by all my cousins and myself. We love the car so much we just recommend it to everyone and think this car cudnt get better. We saw all the cars in the market before buying the Mazda 6 hatchback and when we actually bought it the first thing my partner said, this has a big boot to handle the suit cases and kids prams :) I love Mazda...very very loyal customer.
I love this car. I own a mazda 6 sport model myself and I simply love the car. It is really smooth even at the speed of 110 Km/hr.
NOTHING....I love my mazda :)

I loved this car, like a past lover it served it's purpose at the time and taught me a lot about how vain I was about sports cars and men! It drove well, looked great and people stared in envy. However if you want to be really safe, don't buy one. There is a 'black spot' because it is a hatch (I'm sure this was one of the reasons I had an accident in mine). A lovely car, but for the price I think you can do better.
sleek, sexy and smooth
not very comfortable, and difficulty with a 'black spot' due to the hatch
