Mazda 6 2.3 Sport 5dr

Swapped a vw golf v5 for this car so it had a lot to do to impress me had it 6 months and is as good as the first time I drove it,reliable as hell as scary as hell but a true dream to drive,the speed reliability and response is great I'd have one of these over any similar make and model all day long drives like new you can pick one of these up for peanuts a ridiculas car that pisses on the Vw golf v5 (which I love also) top mentions: cruise control :pick up in 2nd and 3rd and space top car.

I had previously owned a 1986 Toyota Seca, and ran it till 400,000 kms on the odometer, so a replacement car had a lot to live up to! The Seca was a liftback model, so I vowed that the next car had to at least meet or exceed the carrying capacity of the Seca. This effectively ruled out sedans or small hatchbacks - leaving liftbacks as the only obvious choice. When it came down to narrowing a vehicle which was affordable and reasonably priced, had a good reputation for reliability, liftback model definite requirement, this left little choice, and the Mazda 6 was really the only contender left. The car handles beautifully, no warranty issues have cropped up yet, and the vehicle drives as I expected of a new vehicle - ie. flawless! Add on options selected were a rear wing, and chromed tailpipes. Other than that, the vehicle is a real eye-opener (mine is in red). We could also fit 3 kids seats comfortability in the back, although the non-universal buckle was the only poor point as one must stretch a great deal to hook the belt to the buckle when it is considered that adjacent kid seats limit access to the required buckle. Maintenance costs are quite reasonable even if done at a Mazda dealer. Dashboard looks as though Italian influenced with large round dials for speedometer and tachometer, and round swivel/multi-directional vents, but in all, is sleek looking when lit up in red. In summary - a recommended car!
