That's great news. I'm glad it went smoothly.
 
I had a problem the second day of driving my car (6i Touring, 4 cyl, convenience pkg): it wouldn't start!
I called my dealer and they told me to call their roadside assistance. I contacted them and an hour and a half later i was at the dealership via tow truck.
They had to keep the car over night to figure out the problem. They gave me a not-so-nice old Mazda 3 for rental.
They got the problem fixed the next day. It turned out to be two problems at once:
1. The remote key "lost its programming"
2. The shifter didn't make contact correctly when in park, so it wouldn't allow the engine to start.
 
Anyway its fixed now, and i'm loving the car.

I'm starting to take a few corners and curves the way I used to with the BMW (now that the snow-covered roads have subsided). This thing is amazing me every day with its abilities.
 
Can't wait for real summer weather to appear.

New 2009 Mazda 6 by stewie2

Hey Guys,
I am planning to buy the new full size sedan this march. The two vehicles that I have finally decided on in this category are Honda Accord 2009 and the new Mazda 6 2009. I have test driven both these cars and found them very similar. however I have a love for Mazda's interiors and exteriors. So I had planned to buy one soon.
I have a couple of questions that still are bothering me.
1. Honda Accord is said to have no scheduled Maintenance until 100k miles. (Couldnt find that on their website but I have read blogs where people have mentioned that)
2. I have the new Mazda has transmission problems when its COLD, does anyone know about this?
3. Overall, how has your experience been with the Mazda 6. Would you recommend buying it?
Thanks

I faced the exact same issue: 2009 Accord vs. 2009 Mazda 6.
I can't imagine that the claim of no scheduled maintenance for the first 100k miles is true. But that should be easy enough to confirm via Google.
I've had my 6 for 6 weeks now, and although we only had one day of freezing temperatures here in Texas, I've had no problems with the transmission.
I really like the look of the 6 and it's interior (convenience pkg + moonroof/bose pkg). I also feel the engine (4 cyl) is a little spiffier than the Honda's 4 cyl. The Honda felt a bit underpowered to me.
Although I loved my 95 Accord, which i sold to make room for the 6, I didn't have a problem switching to Mazda. I really enjoy the car and recommend it.

I haven't heard about any transmission issues. FWIW, I live in CO and have had my '09 6 since Jan and haven't had any problems with the transmission.

Certainly oil changes, which are scheduled maintenance, must be required prior to 100K mi.

I believe they are referring to plugs and timing belt of the 'ol days.
 
Most cars now do not require these maintenance items.

Thanks for all the replies guys, I really appreciate all the inputs that you all have given. So I have decided on a Mazda 6 now and I am looking to talking to dealers for deals for M6.
I have posted a question already in Buying and Pricing forum but I thought it would be a good idea to ask you guys here. I have decided on M6 - i- Touring (auto) with Moonroof and Bose Package. I am sure about this car and I am looking for some good deals. How much did you guys buy you mazda for? what should be a good price for this car? I would really appreciate any help!
Thanks

I paid $23,800 for the 6i Touring with convenience pkg, moonroof/bose pkg, spoiler, mudguards. Plus 2.9% financing.

I got the recall notice too. Do you know which doors this applies to (drivers, front, all)? Also, did they need to remove the door panels to do the fix? To me that might set the stage for future rattles/squeaks if they need to tear into the doors.
 
Thanks - JP
