Any Mazda6 owners

[roadracer247]

I rented a 2017 Mazda6 on a trip recently and was really impressed with it. Certainly not a sports car, but I really liked the interior. Thinking it might be my next DD after I retire this 19yr old ES300. Been seeing them used for around 15k. How are the 2016-2017 models reliability wise? Any problems current owners are seeing? I was originally looking at a lil Golf tdi, but VW doesn’t inspire much confidence when you mention reliability...

Friend of mine owns one and she's got no complaints. Been reliable as far as I know and it's at least 5 years old now.

My wife had a 2016. It was a base I Sport. Only real complaints were power (but it's just as slow as any 180hp car) and the factory brakes got warped very quickly. Some replacements were super cheap so I wasn't too concerned. Also I hated the Mazda dealer and the service department, but that can be any car. Overall not a bad car. I'd recommend for 15K.

Mazda is what Honda used to be. They are stone dead reliable if you get the 2.0 or 2.5 non turbo. They're fun to drive too.

I bought my daughter a used 16 touring model MSRP 27.500. It had 20,000 miles and I paid $18,500 as I recall. It handles well and is reliable. Loaded with options.

Downsides - has a little more road noise than I would have expected.
