2003 Mazda 6 review from North America
"If this car breaks fixing it becomes a nightmare"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car's fuel line connector to the engine failed at 3300 miles leaking gasoline all over my garage. The part for repair was not available and has to be made new! This has already taken one week and who knows when it will be ready. Previously the car handled nicely. Short people will not find it comfortable, but I did. It is too bad that Mazda cannot repair their own product with any efficiency.
General comments?
This car handles well. The paint scratches easily however. The car is comfortable for a 6 footer like, but my 5 foot 2 inch wife hates it.
