2003 Mazda 6 i review from North America
"Great car for 5 years, then.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This is and was a good car, however after 5 years and 70,000 miles, the problems started, and not cheap problems; alternator, transmission replacement. I had enough! I take good care of my cars, and this was really disappointing.
General comments?
This car handles very well. Get the 6 cylinder if you're going to do any serious driving. I really liked this car; just wish it could have been more dependable.
