Mazda 6 Mk1 pålitlig som dragbil - Reliable as a towing car?

Får dra 1500 kg.

Bedrövligt rostskydd på de tidigare modellerna..

Avoid the diesels, lots of problem..

"Den uppdaterade Mazda6 som kom hösten 2005 är bättre både gällande ljudnivå och rostskydd." - källa: http://www.vibilagare.se/test/begbil/begtest-mazda6-12367


"The rear liftgate of the hatchback opens to reveal a covered cargo compartment with 22.0 cubic feet of space, nearly 50 percent more than that of the sedan. Cargo space more than doubles to 58.7 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded. As in the sedan, the 60/40 split seats fold with the touch of a button, and there is no need to remove the head rests for a near-flat cargo floor. Cargo tie-downs and two hidden compartments in the side panels add to the hatchback's versatility.

The rear compartment of the wagon provides 33.7 cubic feet of luggage space with the rear seats up and a generous 60.4 cubic feet with them folded. Adding greatly to its utility are a retractable cargo cover shade and a barrier-type net, or dog fence, that emerges from the floor and attaches to the interior roof. Tie-downs are provided." - 2005 Mazda 6

"- Watch for rear fender rust (post refresh 2006+ models were improved).
- Watch for worn front suspension parts and rear shocks.
- AC seemed weak.
- I recall reading the Aisin 6-speed had issues early on with programming.
- Heated seats tend to fail." - http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?5948902-Share-your-thoughts-on-the-first-gen-Mazda6/page2

dålig svängradie: Wide u-turns though



"got an '04 6i 5-speed 4cyl.... 354k KM (220k miles) on it... still running."

"The 2.3 is known for burning oil early in life and the V6 has known reliability issues. The fuel economy in the 2.3 is ok, but nothing special. In the V6, is pretty harsh. Clutch feel in the 2.3 is meh. Interior quality is good, but nothing special." - http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?5948902-Share-your-thoughts-on-the-first-gen-Mazda6/page2

"Very spacious; mine's the hatchback version and I can get an entire flatpack bed in there"

"Boot is huge (hatch), as big as smaller estates, seats fold flat very easily to create level platform" (2006)

"Issues to be weary of on the Mazda 6 Mk1 are not many once you stick to the petrol models. The diesel engine is best avoided as it is known to suffer from catastrophic failure in this generation. Rust is also an issue on some early models but nothing that has been known to be terminal. Mazda 6
If you are looking for a family car on a budget of less than 7-8k, the Mazda 6 Mk1 is probably one of the best around and offers fantastic value at present due to them all falling outside the Co2 based emissions system which came in on 2008 cars. It is a thoroughly dependable car that can be purchased with both logic and enthusiasm in equal measure. That is ‘zoom zoom’ indeed!" - Source: https://www.carsireland.ie/blog/mazda-6-2002-%E2%80%9907/
