2004 Mazda 6 i review from North America
"Very cool car to live with for a long time"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The driver seat had to be rebuilt. The owner before me was very large and drove for many miles at a time. Before them it was a rental for a year.
General comments?
I really like the car; it handles very well, and looks so cool with the spider head lights and sporty profile.
I have the dark gray color 5 door lift back; lots of room and 32+ mpg with the 4 speed auto.
I wish it had ABS.
I changed the speakers for JBL and planet audio. The sound is great now.
