2003 Mazda 6 6I review from North America
"Fun to drive not to fix!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Lots of problems with the AC, battery dying frequent, lots of shorts in the wiring, expensive to fix!!!
General comments?
I love my car but man it is expensive to fix! Just a basic tune up in this car is a joke! To get your oil changed you have to pay extra cause it has a "special filter" and anything you need for this car you pretty much have to get from the dealer because no aftermarket parts! Also the radio is hard to change out! I love the way it drives but man it sure does break a lot and it is only stupid things that break that are EXPENSIVE! My blower motor went out and the part alone was $350, not including labor, and it was of course "only a dealer part"
