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 |

Replying to: stewie2 (Mar 04, 2009 5:03 am) 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. |

Replying to: flieger (Mar 04, 2009 6:37 am) Certainly oil changes, which are scheduled maintenance, must be required prior to 100K mi.

Replying to: flieger (Mar 04, 2009 6:37 am) 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 |

| To my knowledge, it applies to all 4 doors, but not 100% sure. Was having breakfast next door when inspection was made.My replacement was on the rear passanger door. If I remember correctly, the part itself might have been ok, but there might have been additional paint inside the part which cause a slight problem latching. They replaced the part as I was standing beside it and it was done so fast, I do not recall anyone removing door panels. Also refer to # 1947 # 1950,and # 1955. After over 4,000 miles, still enjoy the car, it feels very solid. I live outside Baltimore and temps do go below freezing. I have had no transmission problems period. Hope this helps you and others with transmission concerns. | |
