Sorry for being (slightly?) off topic but you've prompted my curiosity now;
Owner of a mazda 6 (almost 2 years), no repairs needed thus far, when I got it it had been top rated in consumer reports; is there something I should be looking out for? (brief googling didn't turn up anything; to the child and others since I'm limited by response rate, my curiosity was peaked by the high cost I saw in the article, but I haven't heard what might cause that high cost)
- busterarm 10y agoThe Mazda 6 is 9th on the list in that article of the top most expensive cars to maintain. Mostly I've seen that they're fine though, there must be something that I'm not familiar with that's reflected in the data.
- hibikir 10y agoI had a horrifying experience with mine, a 2002 model. There were issues ever so often, but what took the cake was that, 6 years in, it started to burn oil, as, from full to low on oil in 100 miles. The car's diagnostics saw nothing wrong, so even knowing what to fix would have involved opening the engine up, and that's a lot of labor. Then you might end up with a costly part replacement on top. The actual recommendation from the mechanic, given that the car was still relatively new, was to fill the oil up and trading it in to a dealer without disclosing the problem, that there's no way they'd find anything wrong with it in any pre-purchase inspection! So... yeah, Mazda6, not so much.
