Hey fellow Mazda owners, I have recently purchased a used Smokestone 2007 Mazda6 yesterday and now I'm joining this forum.

A little about me....

....I'm from SW Florida and I am new to owning a Mazda, let alone driving one and thought I'd join this community of fellow Mazda owners. I haven't gotten to drive it on a daily basis, but it was quite an interesting ride. I'm so far enjoying it and wonder how much you all enjoy owning a Mazda or 2 or 3, idk how many people here have owned, but I'm looking forward to meeting fellow owners here.

 

Hello. New member. 3rd Mazda.
I have a 12' Mazda3.

After 100K miles of me driving her, and a total of 120K I am still loving her. Easy to work on, although I have had little to no issues but a few maintenance items...with the exception a current issue I'll address in my first post.
I have observed other car makes that seem to not meet the quality of Mazda (of 2012). My opinion at least.

 

Welcome to the forum and Mazda ownership. I had an 04 Mazda6 when new and put 185,000 miles on it before I sold it. I now drive a 15 Mazda3. As vehicles grow from one generation to the next, I find the first generation 6 to be comparable to the current 3. Do you have the S (with the V6) or the I with the 4 cylinder engine?

I find Mazdas to be the perfect vehicle for people who enjoy driving and don't want to deal with the unreliability and cost of owning a BMW. I think this is especially true for the fist and current generation of the 6 and all generations of the 3.

 

I'm glad to hear good things about Mazdas, it makes me feel like I a made a good choice when I was car shopping this past weekend. As far as my Mazda 6, it is the I with the 4-cylinder and it has about 58K miles on it.
