2004 Mazda 6 i review from North America
"Now I think it's a piece of crap"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The first thing was when I would take off, it would jerk hard. Took it in, and they told me I had to let it think before I took off.
Now with 47,000, they tell me I need a new transmission, that it is getting ready to go out. I took care of it. I got the oil changed when I was suppose to, had it flushed.
I would not buy another Mazda 6 again, and probably would never buy a Mazda, they don't last.
General comments?
I have one of those seats where you have to pump it to make the seat go higher. I don't think that ever worked.
