Fantastic Car!!!

published

What an absolute pleasure to drive and with so much style. The efficiency is amazing and the features are very well thought through. Beautifully finished and since I purchase this car new, it has never missed a beat. Very spacious for the whole family and I love the responsiveness of the twin turbos.

I love this car

published

After much research we decided on purchasing a Mazda 6 wagon. It lives up to all of the great features promoted and more. Driving performance & handling is superb. Such a smooth ride.So economical to run. I love the istop and ieloop features. Roomy and comfortable and being the wagon version, the boot is huge, perfect for our dog. Push button start is awesome & the interior looks classy. Bluetooth, navigator, reversing camera, usb, aux.
Only complaint, seats are hard to clean, especially dog hair

Very nice car for touring

published

Engine has heaps of torque, excellent for long drives. Handles well but like most wagons the cornering isn't great. Road noise is good. Avg about 5.8litres/100km on long drives and a litle worse in town. Interior is very nice with leather finish. Reliability has be fine, a few minor niggles with the reversing sensors otherwise fantastic. Don't put petrol into it though (like my wife did) as it cost $16K to fix (all but $500 was covered by insurance). The fuel pump and injectors were $9k alone!!!

Very reliable car

published

My 2007 Mazda 6 luxury sport has 366,000 kms on the clock and has never let me down. My mum brought it new and passed it down to me in 2012 and I can honestly say I never want to get rid of it.
If your looking for a reliable and comfortable car that wont cost you a fortune to buy, maintain and fill the Mazda 6 is definitely worth a look at. I want to keep mine for along as I can. :)

Great vehicle. Reliable and looks great too.

published

I bought this vehicle as I had only heard good things about it and because it looks great too. The driving experience is really nice, I feel like it's more than a standard family vehicle. It feels sporty with a dash board that looks like it was made for a racing vehicle (still easy to use but a great look and feel). Only issue I've had is with the Blue Tooth. Worked fine with my iPhone 6 but the iPhone 7 Blue Tooth isn't fully compatible so I haven't been able to use it anymore. Other than that it has a great engine, great feel, and is super reliable packed with all the features you'd expect from a modern vehicle.

Brilliant value

published

Bought brand new in 2008, has 186,000kms on the clock. Avg fuel consumption is showing 7.8l/per 100kms. Only ever used E10 except when I used Prem 98 for about 3 months when it was cheap. Made no difference to economy and I did not notice any performance benefits.
Serviced by Mazda for first 5 years. Only problems have been leaking rear shock absorber which started after a service and a distorting rear door speaker. Both fixed under warranty without a problem.
Good quality finish, quiet, safe and powerful. Manual 6 speed is easy to use. Huge load space, comfortable seats with good legroom, good air con and sound system.

Great car

published

Got a second hand Mazda 6 2014 for my first car.
Very happy with it, drink very little fuel, look beautiful after polish,
The new styling of the Mazda makes me wonder why would you ever buy other cars in its price range,
interior still works looks fresh unlike some other cars,
performance was bit lacking on higher rpm but that what you should expect
and car is very quiet when driving.

Pretty good

published

Bought a 2012 model 2nd hand with 130k on it. Really nice inside and pretty good entertainment system for it's age. Car looks much nicer than alternatives at a similar price. Auto is sluggish although I have always had manuals. Even the padels feel slow to respond. Has a bit of go when using the padels but doesn't set the world on fire. Happy with my purchase

I can not recommend this car enough

published

To say I love this car is an understatement . I bought this car with a car allowance from work as I work in sales and am in my car 80% of the day . I have had many company cars over the years and this compares to any I've had . As I drive all day I need a car that is comfortable, safe and responsive . The Mazda is all of that . I can not recommend this car enough

A quick summary of ownership.

published

1. Handling, smooth; understeer, disconnected from the road.
2. Performance, 2.2litre twin turbo diesel: smooth and perky, at times feels like a petrol, noisy.
3. Noise, lots of road and wind noise penetrating the cabin.
4. Easy to navigate dash unit, plenty of leg room, boot space is good in the X and Y dimension but falls short on the Z dimension.
5. Reliability: 4 years so far, nil issues. Ask a mechanic, my individual report is not a big enough sample size.
6. Diesel true litres/100km is about 6.9 with the air conditioning cranked up with 50% high way and 50% town driving.

2003 Lux Sports. Mazda 6

published

Great car! I absolutely love it!!!! It is perfect for myself and my son, however my partner is 6ft4, and he struggles to fit in the car, however it is for me and not him. The boot space is great, and I can fit so much in there, pram and tonnes of groceries.

I have the Luxury Sports Model, and the only negative/con is that it needs premium everything (service parts, petrol, oil) so it gets quite expensive around service time, and when it needs to be filled.

Costs me about $70 to fill the tank.

I purchased a used 2005 Mazda 6 for the purpose of small trips from A to B. The car has been perfect. Not one hitch in all my time driving it (That was the car's fault). The drivers seat is comfortable and the adjustments that can be made to it are great, The car has leg room and none of the boys have complained. Th only thing that i wish was made in the old Mazda's was an AUX!

Great for new drivers and economical as well

published

I recently moved to Sydney for post-graduate education and I was looking for a reasonably priced car that is roomy as I am a bit on the larger side. When I found this silver sedan that was well-maintained by its previous owner, I bought this up immediately and I have been loving it since then. Running costs are low, its a reliable vehicle with ample leg room and the only problem I faced was some noise from the tyres during parking. Other than that, I'm very happy with this car.

6 GH (2008-2012)

My Mazda 6 hatch GH, 2010 luxury sports model, (sunroof, leather seats, navigation system etc) passenger side dash has just recently started "melting" after being parked in the sun (Brisbane QLD) for a few hours over several days. This car is garaged every night, when at head office it is parked under shade sails or totally undercover. It has 96000 km on the clock. Not a lot of Kilometers as I have another older Mazda 626 that I use for a lot of other tasks, such as parking at bus stations, etc. Is Mazda Australia replacing these obviously faulty dash's? Mine is under ten years old and in America they accepted the fault and extended the warranty to ten years for the dash. I see the Mazda 3 also has the same problem as well. Seen footage where Current Affairs in New Zealand got involved for a owner who was ignored from the start and the issue was resolved free of charge, after their involvement. I had the previous Mazda 6 Hatch 2006, model GG from new and never had an issue with it. Only sold it last year, 2022. If they are not willing to fix it I doubt I will buy another new Mazda. Will they replace it? It should be done free of charge.

Update, went to Mazda Mt Gravatt (QLD) today (28/01/2020) and they are going to fit a new passenger side dash on Friday (31/01/2020). That is the section of dash that is affected, in three days time at no charge. Excellent response, Zoom, Zoom Mazda.
