2004 Mazda 6 GS review from North America
"Throw in great performance, sleek lines, fuel economy and voila... you get a Mazda 6 GS"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing has gone wrong.
The only thing I would add is a scratch proof shield around the car to eliminate the dings you get from people who can't seem to open their doors without hitting my baby.
General comments?
I've driven minivans, trucks, SUV's, large sedans, high end sports cars and compact cars.
This my friends is by far the best vehicle I have driven in all aspects.
It handles like a Porche Boxter, maybe not as much power, but when needed, this peppy inline four can put out. The best part is that I'm not spending $80 a week to fill the tank.
Comfort is second to none. The cockpit is very attractive yet practical.
The car is attractive from all angles and the lines are sleek.
Roominess is essential when you have a family. I just took a road trip to the West Coast and holy smokes; I loaded the trunk with as many items as I do when I had an SUV! My wife and my child rode in comfort never experienced with other vehicles other than my old Toyota minivan.
