Mazda6 Reliability

Want to more clearly know what the difference in reliability will be if you buy a Mazda6 rather than another vehicle? Concerned about your chances of getting a lemon?

TrueDelta provides this information in the form of "times in the shop" stats that make the actual repair rates clear and, in the future, "lemon-odds."

The latest Car Reliability Survey (CRS) results include Mazda6 reliability information based on owner experiences through June 30, 2010:

Successful Repair Trips per Year (per 100 vehicles)
Year	Make	Model	Trips / Year per 100	TS	Cars Mon/Car Av Odo
2009	Mazda	Mazda6	57 Fewest         Most First model year of the redesign. About average so far.		50 7.9 11700
2007	Mazda	Mazda6*	join to view		17 7.1 28200
2007	Mazda	MazdaSpeed6*	join to view		12 8.4 30500
2006	Mazda	Mazda6	31 Fewest         Most Very small sample size for the MazdaSpeed6.		35 6.5 44000
2006	Mazda	MazdaSpeed6*	join to view		14 7.0 46700
2005	Mazda	Mazda6	6 Fewest         Most Sample size right at the minimum. Results for other model years suggest that the actual repair frequency is higher.		25 8.1 58200
2004	Mazda	Mazda6	82 Fewest         Most		30 7.8 79700
2003	Mazda	Mazda6*	join to view		16 7.6 81700

To see how the Mazda6's repair frequency compares to other model years and competing car models, and for a table key, click here. Updated quarterly.

We also have some new reliability stats for the Mazda6. "Nada-odds" reports the percentage that required no repairs at all, not even a minor one--nada--in the past year, while "Lemon-odds" reports the percentage that required three (or more) repair trips.

Nada-odds     cars per 100 with no repairs (nada) in the past year; 100 is ideal Lemon-odds     cars per 100 with 3+ repair trips in the past year; 0 is ideal
Year	Make	Model	Nada-odds per 100 cars	Lemon-odds per 100 cars	Cars Mon/Car Av Odo
2009	Mazda	Mazda6	join to view		26 11.5 16700

To see how the Mazda6's Nada-odds and Lemon-odds compare to competing car models, and for a table key, click here. Updated quarterly.

To provide comprehensive results, TrueDelta needs reliability data on all cars--not just the Mazda6--from people like you. To encourage participation, those who help provide the data receive free access to the site's car reliability information. Find out the details.

Mazda6 Repair Histories

To supplement our Car Reliability Survey, TrueDelta collects Mazda6 repair histories, a list of all the repairs that have been performed on a vehicle. With these, no minimum sample is required and owners can report repairs that occurred before joining.

Individual responses to both the Car Reliability Survey and the Car Repair History Survey are posted here:

Mazda6 Extended Warranty

Concerned about the Mazda6's reliability? Considering an extended warranty? Warranty Direct is a 26-year-old company with nearly 2 million contracts sold and over $500 million in paid claims.

Like insurance, extended warranties are best bought to limit downside risk, and from a company that is almost certain to remain in business. While for most people extended warranties will not pay off, for some they will pay for themselves many times over.

If you are unsure about the Mazda6's reliability, or simply want the peace of mind afforded by an extended warranty, you can click here to purchase one from Warranty Direct.

Mazda6 Gas Mileage

Everyone knows that government estimates often aren't indicative of the Mazda6's gas mileage in the real-world.

In response, TrueDelta began collecting gas mileage data from owners of the Mazda6, with the intent of providing real-world gas mileage estimates customized to how and where you drive.

"Why (Not) the Mazda6?" Reviews

For car buyers' reasons for buying a Mazda6--or not--click here.

Want another perspective? Since 1999, Michael Karesh, the developer of TrueDelta, has contributed reviews to Epinions, where he is one of two people who oversee the autos section.

Michael's most recent Mazda6 review.

Note: The older the review, the more likely it has become outdated owing to more recently introduced competitors.

Mazda6 Tire Reviews

The Tire Rack offers the Internet's most extensive collection of Mazda6 tire reviews, tire survey results, and tire tests. To see which tires are available for the Mazda6--or for your car--and go from there to Tire Rack's comprehensive information, use the tool in the sidebar.

The Tire Rack can be especially useful as a source of winter tires, which I have strongly recommended ever since buying a set for my car. If you're unhappy with your car's handling and braking on snow and ice, you probably just need proper winter tires, not a new car.
