Mazda 6 143 BHP sport 2007
The Mazda 6 is a great driving car with plenty of power when you need it. I haven’t had any major problems with the engine and all being well I hope not to have either, but I did have some bother with water coming in to the passenger side. I took the car into the dealer where I bought it to get fixed, but after two days the problem started again. So not wanting to hand out fist-fulls of money I took a look at it myself to find there was water coming in behind the glove box from the side of the air con unit, which when removed had a ball of silicone sealant (fired into it). On finding this I removed it and carefully put a little silicone along the seam of the vent box and I have never had any bother with it since. It took me an hour and a half to fix. Pat Kirk Mazda had the car for 2 days and charged over £200 for the silicone. I will not be going back there again!

Mazda 6 143bhp sport 2007
I bought my 143bhp diesel sport with 17,777 on the clock, which I have now pushed up to 90,000 in two years. It has been serviced every 10,000 miles and to date I’ve only replaced rear disk/pads, front pads and 2 side light bulbs. However, I will never buy another Mazda because the dealership sucks! They are unhelpful, unwilling and very expensive. Now and again the only problem I get is like a fuel starvation when you come off the throttle and then apply it gently, under two thousand revs on the motorway. But it’s a willing puller with plenty of grunt. It also has good handling, a very large boot and returns approx 45mpg. Road noise does depend on tyre choice. I sold my new mx5 for a BMW 325i convertible across the road, so the Mazder dealer accross the road can see the money he has lost every time I go by, because I no longer take my Mazda 6 there anymore. That’s what happens when you charge £90 p/hour!

Mazda 6 2.0 Tamura 2007
Bought new in 2007 due to new family. Had much loved MX5 before. Superb handling but the ride is a little hard. Totally reliable and well made for money. Alloys not well finished on rear, leading to corrosion and replaced under warranty without quibble. Very pleased and will buy Mazda again. This run-out Tamura edition is very well equipped, does not suffer from the wheel arch corrosion of earlier cars and is a great used car bargain at present.

Mazda 6 TS2 2007
One of the first of the new Mazda 6’s and both my wife and I loved the car as soon as we saw it. That continued until recently. We were impressed with the drive, economy, styling, comfort and overall feel of this excellent looking car.....and then.....SNOW !!! Yes, it warned us of impending slippery conditions, what it didnt tell us that it simply had no way of combatting them !!! The arse end was all over the place and on the slightest of incline, despite new tyres etc, etc.,it simply could not cope. Others on the hill were up up and away,and here was I, going sideways!! Luckily I guess we don’t regularly have winters and conditions like we have had the last 6 weeks!!!

Mazda 6 Katano 2007
Despite continual ingress of damp into the headlights I have been told by Mazda that this was quite normal and to keep my headlights on for at least 15 minutes daily! The boot was almost impossible to open as as lifting arms were obviously not strong enough for the weight of the aerofoil on Katano model. I waited some 3 months for Mazda to obtain stronger arms, which I think came from Japan. I find that after you purchase a new Mazda the dealership isn’t really interested in any complaints you have after that time. I find the clutch very fiery. I do not think I shall buy another Mazda.

Mazda 6 TS 2.0.Diesel 2007
We bought this car from new and after 12 weeks I took it back because the engine dipped at 60mph, was informed by the main dealer nothing was wrong! This car went back several times and again was told nothing wrong!! However in October 08 I was driving home and a great cloud of smoke flew out the exhaust, the engine was reving at 4000 and I had no gears, the DPF had gone on it, went into be mended it had also melted the computer system - over 6k worth of damage. Eventually they said it was covered on the warranty also got told "not another one"!! Mazda knew this was a fault but failed to tell us when buying it, also got told the dipping at 60 was a quirk of the car, I nearly smashed the guys face at the garage having paid 17,500k - was not impressed to hear it was a quirk, the customer service at Mazda is rubbish. I logged a complaint with them every time my car had an issue, this model has been recalled and eventually it will be recalled for the dipping as I know a lot of other people have experienced the same, also the oil level, why is it the only car whose oil level rises surely this is not right?? I will never ever buy another Mazda, which is a shame as the handling on this car is superb. I had to drive other models whilst ours was being fixed and they were big noisy tanks, we are currently looking to get rid of it before the warranty is up...

Mazda 6 2.OD TS 2007
I had a terrible time with my Mazda 6 in 2007, out of the 12 months in the year I was only able to actually drive it for 4 months. It also cost me aver �6,000 in repairs. The clutch and a cracked piston were just 2 of the problems that I faced with the car. I will never buy Mazda again, not only because of the car continually breaking down but also because of the extortionate prices of Mazda parts. My advice would be to avoid any Mazda cars like the plague.
