You are in the Mazda6 Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
and I do take great interest in buying a 2007 or 2008 Mazda 6 however I have my issue of CR that I bought and CR has black dots for trouble spots such as transmission and brakes for the 6 so does the 6 have alot of tranny problems and brake problems? Also owner satisfaction is under average for the 6's 4cyl trim but CR does rate the 6's reliability as average still. The question is the 6 a reliable car or its give me trouble back to the service department for the tranny and brake problems? Other cars I am considering are the Ford Fusion, a 2005 Acura TSX, and a 2007 or 2008 Mazda 3s.

That looks like a Hatchback. A 2009 Euro Hatch.

today and it was a pretty good. Very tight steering but not a very wide turning circle when compared to my(former)Acura. Very nice view out and even the wing spoiler doesnlt block your view at all in the rear. I was expecting a big drop-off in terms of driving dynamics in the Mazda 6 when compared to the Acura but it wasn't that big of a drop-off. The 6 is heck alot of better to drive than the Cobalt I am renting now. Its not that I don;t like the Cobalt I just don;t like driving compact cars. Anyway when are the 2009 6's coming out I don;t know when I will be able to buy an 07 6 because my settlement check for the Acura hasn't come in(that I totaled) and have to wait for it to come in. Will the'll be 08 model year for the 6? |

Replying to: moparbad (Sep 12, 2007 7:21 pm) At least it sounds like the hatchback will stay. |

Replying to: carguy58 (Sep 13, 2007 4:51 pm) Really? I had a Cobalt as a loaner for 1 day and thought it was a pile of junk.

Replying to: carguy58 (Sep 13, 2007 4:51 pm) Yes. The '08 will still be the first-gen and available in sedan or 5-door. The wagon and 'Speed are gone. |

Replying to: jeffyscott (Sep 13, 2007 6:39 pm) Well the Cobalt is a compact car so thats why I don't expect much out of it and its a GM small car at that. I will say though the Cobalt is a significant improvment over the Saturn SL1 that I drove 5 years ago as a rental. I did not like the Saturn that I rented 5 years ago. The Cobalt at least has competent handling and the interior is alright but still not class leading at all. The sound system is ok.
