Pros: What do you like about 2006 Mazda MAZDA6?
Sporty looks.

Fairly fast for a stock v6. I ran a 10.0 in the 1/8th mile. @75 mph. Was running against a Mazda 3 with about $5000 into engine and clutch, tires. etc.

Really cool looking sonic blue pearl paint. I hated the color when I first got the car because it's a tri-color. It's dark blue in some light and purple in other light, but everyone loves it and it's kind of grown on me.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Mazda MAZDA6?
Transmission is a little hesitant at fast acceleration. But with the six speed auto there is an auto/stick feature that works ok. You really have to pay attention to the rpms with fast acceleration using the auto stick. Example - when drag racing, shifting from first to second gear there is about a 2200 rpm lag from when you pull the stick to when the transmission actually shifts. I think that if they could get the lag a little closer it would be great.

Don't ever wreck it. Mazda takes FOREVER to get parts, usually 10 business days out. My car was in the body shop for 2 months with a fender and a bumper, mostly the body shop and insurance co.'s fault, but parts were slow to arrive.

Changing head lights are no easy chore for the average car owner. You have to remove the bumper cover, about 40 screws with the Mazda 6s before you can remove the headlight buckets. But I guess that's what gives it the sleek look.

2006 Mazda MAZDA6 Review:
All in all the car is great, plenty of room for a family of four and still fun to drive. Great handling, pretty fast acceleration for a "family sedan". Zoom Zoom.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Mazda MAZDA6?
This is for a 2004 Mazda6.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Mazda MAZDA6?
I would never by a Mazda 6 or Mazda ever again. Since 2004 I had the fuel pump go twice, the alternator twice (only 22 000 kilometers between each change). The ignition once, the brakes a number of times with 3 calipers replaced and the routers a number of times, my muffler had a break in it (same time the alternator went), the parking break broke, the back door lock latch broke, the oil changer lid broke and needed to be replaced, the front dash computer doesn't light up all the way, and to top it all off EVERYTHING IS RUSTING EVEN THE TRIM AROUND THE WINDOWS -- I don't understand it at all I got HUGE LEMON don't by Mazda!

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Mazda MAZDA6?
It handles better than any sports sedan I've driven. As good as a BMW for tons less money. Rock solid suspension that does what it's supposed to do on any highway.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Mazda MAZDA6?
I would provide better Michelin tires instead of entry level Michelins. I'd put the same door pull on drivers side as passengers side. Aside from these two things, I'd change nothing.

2006 Mazda MAZDA6 Review:
Best build quality, best dash build quality, ease of smooth feeling controls reeks quality for this priced car. Far better than some of the high end cars that can't even come close for precise fit and finish, both out and inside the car.
