2006 Mazda 6 i Sport review from North America
"Looks and drives like a sports car, but has safety features of a family sedan!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The check engine light is somewhat sensitive. The car has a huge 18 gallon tank. If you get it down to about 3 gallons, the check engine light will go off. It will eventually clear once you go through enough drive cycles without any issues.
However because it is good practice to have your car checked with the cehck engine light turns on, this can be somewhat annoying if its just for gas.
General comments?
The brakes are solid and will stop on a dime.
The handling is great. It turns sharp and rapidly.
The car has a great sporty look and makes you forget this is a family sedan.
