2005 Mazda 6 Grand Sport review from North America
"This car rocks!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have noticed an intermittent squeaking sound when I am making a sharp turn to park. Other than that it has been a dream.
General comments?
I fell in love with this wonderful car when I was shopping at a local dealership. It was well designed, sporty and drove very very well. It has fantastic handling and the acceleration is very good for it's engine. I am not a very fast driver, but when on the freeway this thing can GO! I found it very difficult to control my speed my first few days from my previous car since it was a roller-skate (Civic). The car loves to go and the interior is just great, it's well styled and very comfortable for extended driving with a very nice stereo system as well. The car feels much more expensive than it was and I found a lot of similarities too many other luxury brands in terms of handling and appointments. The Exterior paint resists chipping pretty well and when it is clean it looks just awesome. Cargo room is a plenty here and I take advantage of it all the time.
