2006 Mazda 6 mazda Grand Touring review from North America
"Unreliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I purchased the car 6 months ago. It is female driven and according to the dealership, the engine has a defect and they have ordered a new motor.
The car has 6000 miles.
The dealer won't offer any special trade or replacement vehicle other than the norm.
Mazda customer service offers no apology and will not make any offer to trade or replace vehicle.
Mazda won't give GM's name and has told me that I have to deal with the dealership. No return phone calls from Mazda as requested.
General comments?
Don't buy Mazda. I don't think all of their cars are bad. If you purchase a $34,000 car and it fails in 6000 miles, (female driven) They should at least apologize and be willing to do something for the consumer other than order a new motor. Make an offer to get me into a new vehicle.
All Mazdas aren't bad cars, beware if you have a problem.
