2003 Mazda 6 S review from United Arab Emirates
"Awesome sport, but left me sweating"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The air conditioning is the only serious problem.
General comments?
This an absolutely fabulous car to drive. Is it a sport? Or, is it a saloon... It's fun trying to figure out which.
In the past, I have owned a 323 SE hatch and generation 1 RX-7. This car continues in that spirit. I would highly recommend it except for one problem: the air conditioning doesn't work well in the extreme desert heat conditions of the Emirates. If you live in a hot climate, skip the Mazda 6. If you live in a cold place, have a blast!
