#16197 of 17805 13,000 Mile Update by glideslopes Feb 26, 2004 (6:54 am)
Turned 13,000 on my 03 6s AT yesterday. Still as tight as the day I purchased it. Had the Stain/Rust repaired 3m ago. No signs of return. Had both recalls performed. One for the check of the master cylinder, and one for the fuel tank check last week. No problems noted in either case.   I'm still averaging 21mpg. Took a trip to Boston three weeks ago and averaged 27mpg at a steady 70mph. I run Mobil 1 0w-20w.   No rattles, squeaks, or groans. The brakes feel as good as day one.   I'm surprised how good the car has been in the heavy snow here with the OEM 16' tires. I still leave traction control off most of the time. I just can't get used to not having the control with my (R) foot. Control has always been an issue with me anyway : )   It's nice to see sales growing. This car is more fun to drive each day. Hardy anyone stays with me once we enter the S'.   MM

Well, I moved from the Suburban to the 6 because my kids are now driving themselves and their friends everywhere they want to go, so I can have a car that I like instead of a bus that I needed. Guess I don't need to say that I'm having a lot more fun driving these days (although I do miss having the kids and their friends in the car - they were a constant source of entertainment!)

#16200 of 17805 Future Mazda SUV to be built on 6 platform: by car3 Feb 26, 2004 (11:06 am)
Is this is going to be built in Japan or the US? I hope this is the not like the B-Series and Tribute where they are lot of quality/reliability problems. However, I think Mazda has the problems on the Tribute worked out now. Hey if Mazda can build fun to drive cars maybe they can build a fun to drive SUV too.   Duatec 3.5 I would like to see that but engine with alot of HP always provides some kind of torque steer it seems. The Altima suffers from it and Car and Drive complalined about the 04 Acura TL w/ Auto trans having a little torque steer.   BTW, Formally Car Guy 58.

"car3" have you reported your problem at the "Contact Us" link (in the gray box at the top of the page) like I recommended? You really need to do that ... that's how you'll get it straightened out.   I realize how and why you got into this situation, but since you are only supposed to register one time in the TH, you need to get it fixed. Feel free to email me with any questions as well.

Rock44x,   That all depends how/where Mazda plans to take the Mazda6. If it continues to keep it's current size, a Duratec35 would require some major modifications to the front engine end structure so it would fit. In other words, I doubt might will occur this time around.   Granted, the Duratec35 will fit on the new family of Ford minivans, SUV's, that will be using the Mazda6 platform, but because they will be engineered from the beginning to do so.   The Ford Futura will be the closest vehicle that can be seen as an example of where the sedan formula will grow to. That itself will start with the same 2.3L and 3.0L as the Mazda6, but will offer a 270HP 3.5L (Futura ST) for those who are looking for more performance.   If Mazda were wanting to do the same, they could offer a AWD 2.3L Turbo version to gain some attention during it's mid-life cycle, and that itself will work/fit well into the engine bay without much investment.

No the Packers should never have gotten past the Seahawks!
#16204 of 17805 Thank you buck40 by safetynut Feb 26, 2004 (9:35 pm)
Thanks for your reply and all your information. You are probably right, I just have to get used to a different vantage point.
#16205 of 17805 It's mine!!! (Oh yeah the banks) by mazdajk Feb 27, 2004 (7:51 pm)
Picked up my 6 today! YEE HAA ! I gave it the bigtime once over. To this point I have inspected seven 6's and I have to say the paint job on this car is tight. I looked in every nook and cranny on this car. Build date 2/04. The 6 they had in the show room was a 10/03 build and you could see the lack of paint in the sash area. The factory must have made the corrections in the paint dept. As I said in my other post, I guess time will tell if this problem has been resolved. Took it for a joy ride on some winding roads. Had to take it easy because of the break in, but I got a pretty good feel for the car. WOW ! Took a pretty sharp turn and I thought I was doing around 40. Speedometer said 55. WOW ! Mazda has taken a step in the right direction. I just hope they stand by their product for the few that have had problems,so you can get back to enjoying the 6 as it should be. Come on 500 miles !!!

Where did you say you live? I think somebody should alert the local law enforcement agencies about your new activities, preferably before you get to 500 miles. Oh yeah, and what color is that car again?
