2005 Mazda 6 I review from North America
"I had never known true love before I bought my Mazda6"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Within two days of taking her home, the check engine light lit up on the dash. I took her back to the dealer and they were able to fix it. Apparently the seal around the gas tank was cracked. They replaced it, and I was out and on my way in a matter of an hour.
One afternoon I realized that the rear dome light was hanging loose from the roof of the car. Pushed it back in, no problems since.
I think my speakers were improperly installed. It sounds like one is blown out.
General comments?
I was in a car accident and the rental company hooked me up with a Mazda6. I fell head over heels in love within the first day. I knew I couldn’t get attached, but I was still so smitten that when I was told my car was going to be totaled out, I knew what I was going to get. I finally ended up with a 05 Steel Grey Mazda6. I love her. I love the way she looks, the way she handles…she is an extremely capable car, and considering my driving habits, she is an extremely safe car.
The seats are wonderfully comfortable and easily adjustable.
I have been having a lot of fun with the automatic sport shift. She is quick and handles like a demon. She also has curves in all the right spots.
