The car I have the most fun driving!
Source: Cars.com

...Do a search for how many are for sale, then search something you think is pretty rare, you'll see.Mazda did something I wish all companies would do. That is all Mazdaspeed6's only come with a manual gearbox. It is a sportscar disguised as a "family car". This has worked to my advantage with the local police before as they don't profile this car.I do not see myself selling my car anytime in the future. My only complaint and my 4 star area was the interior design. With all the bells and whistles, you still don't have an auxiliary input. I don't like to change out the head unit, but I believe I...

2012 Mazda6

..."My final 2 choices were the Mazda6 and Honda Accord-SE.
Comperably equiped, the Mazda 6 initially was less expensive. Look at estimated 5 year costs to see if you can make a deal to ensure lowest longer term costs as well...

Mazda 6s - Revisited after 8 months
Source: MSN Autos

...More horsepower is not needed. The special illuminescent guages should also be standard, not requiring the leather package. Once you see the guages (have it my Altima) - it is a terrific look. Overall: One of the best cars I have ever driven - especially at this price. My 2005 Altima 3.5 SL has more Umph when accelerating, but the Mazda seems stuck to the road. The handling and braking is outstanding for a family sedan, for any car for that matter. This highly recommended automobile. CNBC auto reviews on cable TV have highly touted the Mazda 6 and Mazda 3 - They are Right. Over the course of...

Fun sports sedan!
Source: Edmunds

...This was the first car I purchased myself. I'm the second owner of an '06 Mazda6.
In regard to appearance, this car is definitely "sexy", especially in the Dark Cherry color I have.
I drove an '03 Toyota Camry before this Mazda6 and I can assure you, the Mazda6 is sportier, smaller, and more fun to drive.
I haven't had any serious issues with the vehicle, besides the routine maintenance (oil change, tires,).
I had one mechanical problem when I first bought the car but it was under warranty so no cost to me.
The speed and handling of this vehicle is up to par; it...

Mazda 6s Manual
Source: MSN Autos

...I purchased this car in 03 and now have 28,000 miles on the vehicle. The problems started at 4,500 miles and I have had the clutch pad and flywheel replaced 3X and now going to be a 4th. The dealers nor mazda admit to having had any issues, but if you look at all the sites for mazda clubs you will see clutch problems on many of the cars from 03-05. Mazda is not taking this problem seriously, but average cost of out of warranty repair is $1,600.00. Warranty loses coverage on parts at 12,000 unless a new part is added and then it extends the warranty another 12,000 miles. Mazda needs to take...

An Almost Perfect Car- FOR THE PRICE
Source: MSN Autos

...If you hated it that much, don't buy it. Those things have not changed (performance would have slight gains actually) from when you test drove it. Overall: I like it. 12,000 trouble free miles in almost 1 year of ownership. by the way, the manual 6 will beat an automatic Altima any day in a flat out race (i know apples to oranges) and would drive circles around any Altima in a road course because of the high end power and superior handling charecteristics (i.e. lack of body roll and more confidence inspiring feel around corners) If you want luxury then pay $4000 more and go for the Altima...

Not a good used car purchase
Source: Cars.com

...The problem was the TCS and also the transmission. The car would brake and not accelerate for no apparent reason. She would have to pull off of the road, turn the car off and restart it. The dealer had a 30 day warranty, and tried to fix the problem unsuccessfully. Luckily the registration took awhile to go through because it was in another state and we were able to turn the car back in and put the money toward another vehicle. I would not recommend the 2003 Mazda 6. I think later model years for the Mazda 6 are more reliable."...

A great road trip car, with great ride and handling!
Source: MSN Autos

...I love the car and have put 12,000 highway miles on it in the last 4 months. Cons: Minor quibbles...the front brakes get the alloy wheels really dirty fast, the rears don't; different pads on the front? The optional shock sensor comes set really sensitive and it took the dealer two tries to even find it...it's fine now! Overall: If you want a trouble free (so far!) good looking car with GREAT handling and breaking and the perfect combination of ride and road feel go for the 6s. I got it without all the air dams and spoiler, all that stuff is going to wear through the paint and hold all the...

2012 Toyota Camry
The redesigned 2012 Toyota Camry remains the most conservative-looking pick among mid-size sedans, but if you want comfort, value, and frugality above all else, it's probably just your style.
