When I bought this car, it was at the behest of my friend who had said that it was a great mid-size sedan/hatchback that had a good amount of durability to it. And I have had minimal issues with it. So I would have to agree, it is a very reliable car if you take care of it properly.

I bought my 2006 Mazda 6 in used condition. I visited the dealership specifically looking for an attractive-looking car and fell for this model instantly. Imagine the body of a basic sedan with a bit of a sporty style. Although my Mazda had already driven 96,000 miles when I purchased it, she continues to run strong! She is now at 156,000 miles. I have had to do only minimal upkeep to the engine since buying my car three and a half years ago. The engine has four cylinders, just enough power without going overboard. The turning radius is tight, making for a smooth drive. The interior has a practical layout with typical amenities: cup holders, center console, locking glove box. One cool thing about driving this car is the option to operate manual or standard. You can easily switch between the two driving modes while on the move. I have found that this car has just the right amount of seat space and a roomy trunk. All of the seats are cushioned and comfortable. The driver and front passenger can enjoy multi-directional, electronic seat control. The stereo sounds great and has two sets of controls: one on the center dashboard, the other on the steering wheel! I have not had any issues with the speakers sounding 'blown out' or 'rattling.'
