Stylish, insightful and spirited – that is the manufacturer’s description of the Mazda6 and it’s difficult to disagree with the Mazda6 having finished as runner-up for European Car of the Year on its debut in 2003. In Japan, the Mazda6 is marketed as the Mazda Atenza, though the Mazda6 name is adopted throughout the rest of the world. There have been many different model shapes of the Mazda6 made available including a four-door, five-door, an estate and a sporty Mazda6 MPS. The popularity of the Mazda6 should not be underestimated – it sold one million units worldwide faster than any other previous Mazda.

Mazda 6 2.0 Diesel 2004

This car has been nothing but a complete and utter nightmare. Clutch went at 44000 miles and required a new flywheel as well, cost £1200. Speaking to a Mazda technician I was informed that its a common fault on this model!!!! I have a 1997 VW Passat with 118000 miles on the original clutch. I’ve had continuous engine problems as well. Mazda cannot find a fault despite me taking the technician for a run in the car and him experiencing the problem first hand. Have been advised to replace various bits and also told in the same breath that it might not fix the problem???????? Mazda do not want to know. There is talk of a class action ongoing in the States over the dismal performance of the Mazda 6 diesel. I would certainly be willing to join a UK class action. Mazda customer service are worse than useless and will not accept any liability for the faults. I will NEVER buy another Mazda and will not recommend them to anyone. Mazda seem none too concerned. In closing I can only advise avoid this car like the plague.

Mazda 6 4dr Saloon TS Petrol 2004

Reading the above, my 6 has done 64k and I’ve had since 32k. Other than tyres, pads & discs and a power steering pipe nothing else has been required. Faultless starting at -16, comfortable cruiser at 85mph with cruise control on or off, handles reasonably well for such a lump, and when you hoist up her petticoat she goes like a bat out of hell. 4/5 score as the fuel consumption is a bit on the big side, and £210 per year for Darlings highway robbery/road Tax.

Mazda 6 Sport diesel 2004

I also have a problem with my clutch / gearbox. A similar problem is reoccurring regularly now where my clutch pedal can be pushed with no real resistance and then bites immediately. Worse still is that on numerous occasions the pedal has actually stuck down when driving and I have had to lift it with my foot. I am due to take the car to an independent garage to see if they can find a fault, but following my last major service I can count on it being expensive due to the cost of Mazda parts. I took it to a Mazda dealer and had an inspection for £50 where they found no faults. Not impressed with their customer service either. The car otherwise is good but would not have another. I just hope the bill isn’t too expensive; especially before Xmas.
