Not that its such a big deal,but when i sat in a 2005 6 sdn. today i did notice that there was only one pocket for storing maps which was behind the drivers seat instead of the 04 which has them behind both seats.Gotta cut corners somewhere.

Replying to: ramped (Oct 12, 2004 8:05 am) Well you could come to Toronto I have the pebble ash with Black leather and sports package (GFX package in Canada) and its a smart looking combo.   I too drove all the others including a tier above. The only other car I liked as much from an overall handling perspective was the Infiniti G35 (RWD) and I couldn't justify spending the difference. Besides front drive is more practical for those of us who have to deal with snow for what seems like half the year. The Altima 3.5 SE is just too much brute force on the torque steer and simply does not handle as well (doesn't feel quite as solid). In addition I am tall and could not for the life of me fit into an Altima with leather and sunroof. Funny, because on paper the Altima has more headroom. It was the only serious contender in the price range. Honda and Camry - you said it all.   Mazda is going for a niche, and I think they found it. My other car is a Passat Wagon. I love it, but had the Mazda Wagon been available I think I would have two Mazdas now. For sure its going to be cheaper to maintain. Replies to this message: ramped (Oct 13, 2004 4:50 pm)

Replying to: ctiguy (Oct 13, 2004 1:26 pm) I got the cloth interior in my Pebble/Ash 6 as black leather in Florida is not a good idea, IMHO.   I do like the leather interior more than the cloth in the MZ6. The driver's armrest isn't very comfortable with the hard cloth surface.   By the way, I was in Toronto 12 years ago and enjoyed the city. I visited the Blue Jays clubhouse and chatted with catcher Pat Borders, who played high school ball in Lake Wales, FL, where I used to work. Later that year he was the World Series MVP, if I'm not mistaken. My wife wants to take the new car on a trip next summer to Cooperstown, N.Y. Her great grandfather is in the Hall of Fame. Since we'll be relatively close, maybe we'll stop by :^)   I do love Canadian beer!

Thanks for the offer redc0ugar! Oh I'm definitely thinking about it! But however tempting that might be I still have a little over 2 years left on our Mazda6 lease and sadly have to decline. We also just bought a 2005 Escape Limited back in June, so I'm not allowed to even utter the words "new car" in our house for a little while.   March of 2007 is when I should be driving around in a new Mustang GT convertible and I can't wait! However, the Mazda6 is pretty incredible too. It's going to be really hard to let go of.   Keep up the good work up there. I've read nothing but gushing positive reviews on the new Mustang and it's high level of quality. You guys are going to make a lot of owners very happy.

Replying to: redc0ugar (Oct 13, 2004 10:47 pm) Red, it's not a good idea to include your e-mail on the boards. Put it in your profile and let others access it there.   By the way, I understand that you work at Auto Alliance. Can I ask in what capacity?   I am impressed with the build quality of my 6s. My compliments to you and your co-workers.
#17073 of 17805 Sick of rattles by accord7 Oct 16, 2004 (7:02 pm)
I have to say that despite the excellent qualities of the Mazda6, I'm already sick of the rattles in this car. I had only one initially, now new ones pop up every day. There are several in the dash, a couple in the back. In past cars I could trace a rattle to it's roots and solve it on my own. With my 6, one rattle in particular could be in the door, a-pillar or dash, it's just too difficult to pinpoint. I guess my point is a well designed fun to drive car is not enough. It has to sound well built also, like it's worth the money invested. Replies to this message: ramped (Oct 17, 2004 7:29 am)
#17074 of 17805 In defense of the 6 ... by anonymousposts Oct 17, 2004 (5:48 am)
Any car can have rattles. It doesn't matter which forum you are in (Altima, Camry, etc) someone will complain of rattles. I guess my point is that you can get upset and trade your 6 for something else but that doesn't guarantee you won't have rattles. Or you could just turn your stereo up louder and enjoy the car you already have.
#17075 of 17805 Re: Sick of rattles [accord7] by ramped Oct 17, 2004 (7:29 am)
Replying to: accord7 (Oct 16, 2004 7:02 pm) Well, the good thing about owning a 6 is that you get a four-year, bumper-to-bumper warranty. If you are dissatisfied, give the dealer an opportunity to take care of the problems. It's possible that something has worked loose behind the dash or in the door. Like anony says, rattles plague all models and makes.
#17076 of 17805 Help!!!! by cutemorganite Oct 17, 2004 (8:19 am)
I lost my keys last night, outside of my house. I searched my house from top to bottom and I have traced my steps outside, and can not find them. I fear someone would steal my car and my mother's (both keys on the same ring). I always separate my house keys from my car keys, that's how I was able to get in the house, in case anyone wondered. I was not drunk, I was coming home from the mall. What should I do??? I have another set, but someone I don't know has a key to my car. I know it cost a lot, but how much do you guys think it will cost to replace all of my locks. My fiance suggested just getting a new alarm, but I don't want one, aftermarkets are soooo loud!!!! Please help!!!!!! Replies to this message: ramped (Oct 17, 2004 9:17 am)
