Brilliant Silver, Kona Blue, Sangria Red (on V6 models) and Dark Cherry.
Colors that don't work well:
Comet Gray, Smokestone and Light Ice Blue...
It is hard to keep clean but I dig my black 6.
1. Blue (2 tone interior is great)
2. Black (If it comes in 2 tone interior would be even better).
3. Dark red (I am not sure what it is called)
4. Red
5. Grey
Worst colors
1. White
2. Silver
can you tell me which transmitter you bought for your ipod classic?
Thanks
I love it!
I paid 23,791 + TTL.
I've seen mostly black and greys on the road, and one white. Nothing else.

Some vehicles have already been repaired at the Ports.
My 6s GT is within that VIN Range so is one of those affected. I have not had the problem described though - yet.

I'll just have them look at it the next time I go for an oil service.

Have your dealer take a look at it before it ruins the speaker.
Before I would do that though, I would try to duplicate the leak. Sit inside the car and do it again. If it was a hand spray wash, have someone else do the wash. Watch for the leak. Make sure the window is all the way up too (but it doesn't appear that it could be from a slightly open window).

See? That's interesting. I have the s GT with 18" low profile stone-clunkers and I wish the ride was a little firmer with a little less body lean.
That's why it is futile to argue about suspensions. Everyone likes something different.

I came over from a '95 Accord, which BTW has been a great car. The ride in my 6i Touring (17" alloy wheels) is definitely stiffer, but i like it. It feels sporty to me. I do feel every bump in the road. I had to be extra careful when driving my wife home from surgery the other day, as each bump in the road made her wince. Now that she's better, its not a problem anymore. I love my 6! :shades:
I traded a BMW on this Mazda so I am used to a little firmer, more agile drive. For a big, nose-heavy car though, it's very adequate.
It's amazing how they almost eliminated the torque steer. :surprise:

Went to my Mazda Dealer this morning to replace the one door handle under the recall program. Remember, it had already been inspected Sat. before and it took less than 15 minutes to replace the handle. Was even offered a free rental for the day. How do you like that for customer service. I said I would rather wait, talked to the service manager and before I knew it, the car was done and ready to leave.
You should see the videos on Youtube from the Middle east where they drive the 2003 Mazda6 drifting and sliding on the road. simply awesome.
That's great news. I'm glad it went smoothly.
I had a problem the second day of driving my car (6i Touring, 4 cyl, convenience pkg): it wouldn't start!
I called my dealer and they told me to call their roadside assistance. I contacted them and an hour and a half later i was at the dealership via tow truck.
They had to keep the car over night to figure out the problem. They gave me a not-so-nice old Mazda 3 for rental.
They got the problem fixed the next day. It turned out to be two problems at once:
1. The remote key "lost its programming"
2. The shifter didn't make contact correctly when in park, so it wouldn't allow the engine to start.
Anyway its fixed now, and i'm loving the car.
Can't wait for real summer weather to appear.

I am planning to buy the new full size sedan this march. The two vehicles that I have finally decided on in this category are Honda Accord 2009 and the new Mazda 6 2009. I have test driven both these cars and found them very similar. however I have a love for Mazda's interiors and exteriors. So I had planned to buy one soon.
I have a couple of questions that still are bothering me.
1. Honda Accord is said to have no scheduled Maintenance until 100k miles. (Couldnt find that on their website but I have read blogs where people have mentioned that)
2. I have the new Mazda has transmission problems when its COLD, does anyone know about this?
3. Overall, how has your experience been with the Mazda 6. Would you recommend buying it?
Thanks
I can't imagine that the claim of no scheduled maintenance for the first 100k miles is true. But that should be easy enough to confirm via Google.
I've had my 6 for 6 weeks now, and although we only had one day of freezing temperatures here in Texas, I've had no problems with the transmission.
I really like the look of the 6 and it's interior (convenience pkg + moonroof/bose pkg). I also feel the engine (4 cyl) is a little spiffier than the Honda's 4 cyl. The Honda felt a bit underpowered to me.
Although I loved my 95 Accord, which i sold to make room for the 6, I didn't have a problem switching to Mazda. I really enjoy the car and recommend it.
Certainly oil changes, which are scheduled maintenance, must be required prior to 100K mi.
Most cars now do not require these maintenance items.
I have posted a question already in Buying and Pricing forum but I thought it would be a good idea to ask you guys here. I have decided on M6 - i- Touring (auto) with Moonroof and Bose Package. I am sure about this car and I am looking for some good deals. How much did you guys buy you mazda for? what should be a good price for this car? I would really appreciate any help!
Thanks
