Mazda 6 Hatchback 2.3 Sport 5d (2003/52) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Excellent value - competes well with BMW 3, but with all of the extras thrown in. The car has just about everything as standard. Some of the chintzy extras are a bit steep!
Costs
Pretty good - servicing ok, insurance ok, reasonable petrol consumption - no problems here.

Driving
Great fun to drive, responsive, excellent braking and great fun to throw around corners!!
Performance
Good. Not as good as the 3 litre V6 406 coupe that I got rid of, but much better value!! I think Mazda should consider a V6 option for this car - but considering all - you will not be disappointed.

Reliability
Cannot fault - no problems whatsoever.
Image
Great - the car looks sporty, modern and attracts admiring looks... has got a few extras to the trim - exhausts, side marker rings etc.
Comfort
Good. Seats 5 comfortably. Some bits look a tad plastic, but general quality of cabin etc is good. Great choice for family, but with fun when you go out on your own. Air con is effective - great stereo as standard.
