2008 Mazda 6 iSport VE review from North America

I have put 8,000 miles on this car since buying it used 4 months ago. I have driven it as far south as Oklahoma and as far north as Canada.

I've had to replace 1 of the 2 horns on the car (the lower tone one) - covered under 36,000 mile warranty. That is all that has went wrong with the car. Period.

The car looks and drives flawlessly. Like brand new at almost 39,000 miles.

I did just put new tires on it as the stock Michelins only lasted about 38,000 miles. That can't exactly be considered a surprise though.

This car is the best car I've ever owned. It drives and handles 'out of its league'. It has been very reliable so far.

I've got the iSport VE edition so I've got 17" wheels, an alarm system, 6 CD changer and TPMS. Also, I've got a new paint color that was introduced by Mazda for the 6 in the 2008 year.

I love the little touches like the steering wheel controls, door lights, vanity mirror lights and exhaust tips. The stereo system (although not Bose) is very good.

This car has amazing soundproofing material. Whether you're sitting in the car idling, or driving it down the road, it's very quiet in the cabin. A lot of outside noise is simply kept out.
