I've had my 2005 Mazda 6 for 4 months...I bought it used with 12,000 miles......Just got 32 MPG on a 350 mile trip. Filled up today on half a tank...27.5 mpg. Checked the oil for a trip tomorrow...not a bit down, and it still looks clean...it's not black yet! I'm going to change it when I get back...it's a bit overdue, i just went to 16,000 . Checked the tires...pressure perfect...not down one bit in 4 months- I've never had that with any car. I have the 4 cylinder auto....good thing I didn't buy a 6 cylinder stick..I'd be in trouble for drag racing all of the time! I can't resist blasting off with my 4 cylinder auto- while the young kids race like mad to catch up and pass- which they do with the higher powered cars out there. Did I mention I'm 60? ( Used to race my 65 tri power GTO when I was a young fellow) . I'm going on a 400+ mile trip tomorrow with my auto speed alert along..(girl friend)..it's amazing how she can sense 2 mph over the posted speed limit without seeing the speedometer. Gota go!

 

Your auto speed alert sounds just like my mom.

Anyways good luck on the trip!

 

Well as a fellow Mazda owner I'm happy to hear that. Sounds like Mazda is keeping up witht he crowds and welcome tothe family of Mazda owners. See if only the American GTO muscle car peopel could co exist with us Japanese car owners without confilct. Happy to hear you love it and good luck on the trip.

 

Happy to hear another proud owner of a mazda 6!

 

yes. good to hear. Makes me happy. Really it does!
