Just bought a 2009 6s GT 3.7l v6 with 128k mi. Runs great no issues. Feels like an affordable bmw with all the bells and whistles and rain sensing wipers. Power for days too. That v6 is the best part.

I bought a 2009 Mazda 6 grand touring package as well, I bought it in March / 2021, I’m the 2nd owner, it only has 53,000 original miles as the 1st owner had it parked in the garage most of the times, interior is beautiful black leather, sunroof, motor is impeccable clean, very smooth driving, exterior is in excellent conditions too, I’m going to upgrade the stereo with an android multimedia w/back up camera and the headlights assembly, I already got the LED’s installed throughout the entire car inside and out including the license plate. I’m very happy with my car and purchase.

I bought one of these brand new in 2010. Fully loaded Grand Touring model with navigation. I still miss that car. It drove so nice, especially on the highway. Extremely smooth, nimble, powerful, and light on its feet. I loved the looks, the integrated exhaust finishers, the LED headlights with level adjustment, and the neon orange gauge font with blue rings (the color contrast looked super cool at night). I also loved that you could lower the windows by holding down the unlock button on the key fob which certainly helped cool off the interior before getting into the car. The navigation screen was motorized and when you wanted to play a CD, it flipped down and forward which was a cool party trick. The only negative I remember was that the plastic trim around the gear shifter scratched VERY easily. I once lightly dragged the vacuum hose across it while vacuuming out the interior and it got super scratched up. It looked awful. Otherwise, it really was a terrific car! I was furious when Mazda dropped a V6 option for the next redesign. Come on, it’s called a 6! You’ve gotta offer a V6!

I own and daily drive a 2010 GT with technology package. One word...DAAAMMM. talk about pickup on freeway entrance, passing, and just overall enthusiasm. 147K miles, still purrs in the morning. Will give it to me grandkids if I'm still alive, the car sure will.

I just bought one of these in Canada with 230,000 kilometres on it. I absolutely love the styling of this car. I take possession of it in 2 days

I have Mazda 6 2011, the mileage was 70,000 when I bought it and it's the perfect first car!

It honestly looks brand new!! And your production quality is great!! Keep it up!

I still drive my Euro spec 6 2.0 with 6 speed manual. I bought it new in 2009. and its been as reliable as a wood burning stowe, BUT the reason I am commenting is the dual climate "story" as you described me and my wife perfectly! I showed her that part of the clip and we laughed our asses off :)

272 HP thats good a enough to get you daily driving its a brilliant car

Great vid! I am (still) owning the European Hatchback version of this generation (with the 2.0L Mazda Engine). Drove it for 8.5 years and almost 200.000 km's now (ODO almost hits 275.000 km). It never let me down! Will pick-up my new Mazda 6 2014 model next week. Hopefully the Skyactiv will be as reliable as this generation!

Great review ♥️♥️♥️, Even I'm planning to buy a Mazda used car even before watching your review,,, thanks a lot..... love from Oman 👊👊👊

Just got this for my first car, 140,000 miles, car works perfectly, all good, great breaks, nice speed, looks sleek, love it

just bought this car today, cant wait!

How encouraging!! I have the exact the same Mazda 6. 2009, 138572 miles! I’ve replaced the battery numerous times due to a know door locking device issue? Anyone else heard or had this same issue? Additionally, replaced the water pump (that was pricey but still cheaper that a new or used car) but other than that she still runs smoothly and I love her!

I love mine too, 2012.mazda6 ,2.5l and give me lots a fun 320000km,and still running new.Great car!😊❤👍👏

Recently picked up a 2010 GT Mazda 6 V6 with 120k miles on it car still drives great thanks to your review. excellent point and well explained video. Cheers

Your review is on point! I have no problems with mine at 120k miles… I have a V6 and definitely a reliable vehicle!

I got the i GT 2.5 version and I love it. Wish I had the v6 but itll do for now. The style I love how its taken from the Rx8. Awesome video.

I just bought one in perfect condition with 100,000 miles...super cheap too i got hella lucky so far its a beast

2009-2013 Mazda 6 common problems: The Mazda 6 is a pretty good car and doesn't have too many problems. The front subframe is known to rust on the right side, but Mazda issued a recall for this issue, read more below. If you are buying a used Mazda 6, have it inspected from underneath for rust. We recommend looking for a 4-cylinder model, as if the water pump fails in the V6 at higher mileage, the repair will be very expensive. Common problems in 4-cylinder models are mostly minor, such as a failing thermostat, headlight bulbs going bad often, warped front rotors causing steering wheel to shake when braking and electrical issues with the Push Button Start. Models with an old-school ignition key are less troublesome. Read more about the problems:

I still have my 2009 Mazda 6 GTi. Approaching 100,000 miles and absolutely no issues. I bought this car as a 2 gen in August of 2008 as a 2009 model year. It’s 13 years old and looks awesome! It’s just like the body style of the one you reviewed. I have everything but nav. Camel leather interior seats, camel and black door cards. One of if not the first to have blind spot monitoring. I also have the same dimming tech for my side view mirrors that comes with the interior rear view mirror. So excellent! No blinding car lights. The car also features puddle lights under the side view mirrors. This car has so much to offer. The ten point Bose system is great! I know it’s not high mileage for its age but that doesn’t mean it hasn’t been pushed. Honestly, the 4 cylinder engine is quite nimble and has good torque. No complaints about its power and getting 345 miles per tank. I love my vintage Mazda 6!

I Own a 2011 Mazda CX-7 2.5L 300k miles on it and still runs like new and never had a single severe issue with it transmission is original and engine components under the hood is almost original the way it came from the factory other than few cosmetics.

I own the same 2009 Mazda 6 V6 (no nav though) with 270,000 miles. No problems either but a few things to be aware of: 1) Like mentioned in a comment below, the passenger dash crash-pad melts. Be aware that it may need to be replaced 2) Remember, these 3.7L motors have a fatal design flaw - the water pump is a life part, meaning it is not replaced. It sits in with the timing chain and requires the motor to be pulled to replace. If it fails, the water will drip straight into the oil pan and then the motor is toast. For this reason I change my coolant regularly (more frequently than recommended by Mazda) and only use the Mazda coolant as specified in the manual. I love my car and it has served me well and is very reliable. I will drive it as long as I can, but it should be mentioned about the 3.7 L design flaw.

Can’t wait to get mine !!

Wife and I just got a 2013 Mazda 6 with the 2.5 Inline 4. It has 133,000 miles on it and seems to be in good condition. Hoping it lasts a long time.

I have this car with 150k miles. This thing just will not die. It's had no major problems at all in my 7 years of owning it. Definitely going to keep this as a reliable second car when I get the itch to buy a new one.

I’ve had one for about 3 months now with 139,XXX Miles had absolutely no problems. For it to be 10 years old it doesn’t like like an old car inside or outside

So I've been watching your reviews pretty much exclusively for like a week & I'm convinced that you've pretty much reviewed every car to ever exist. Keep this up & soon you'll have to resort to reviewing Skyjacks or forklifts because you'll run out of cars 👷🏼

I’ve got 140k trouble free miles on my 2010 4 cylinder, other than an ac repair it’s needed nothing. Interior still looks good and the car is solid as a rock. I’d hop in and drive it anywhere. I’m not going to lie I’m tired of driving it but for 12 years this car has been a rock. I don’t drive as much anymore so I may just keep trucking this thing for another 5 or 6 years and really get my moneys worth. I’ve always run royal purple in it since the first 3k oil change. It’s just a rock solid car.

Watched this video because I'm looking at one in 2022, it has 188k miles and selling for 6k. Still don't know if I'll get it but this video helped.

Got this exact one with 270,000 km. Had no issues in the past 2 months except it overheating one time at the beginning but replacing the coolant seemed to fix it and have never experienced the issue again. Gas consumption is crazy on the v6 though 😨

Bought one after seeing this review with 220,000 it’s running like a champ even though the previous owner wasn’t doing well with maintaining it I’m doing repairs now but it runs great

i have the same car with over 330000km. and still running strong.

I got 2011 2.0 petrol with all bells and whistles and 130000 km. No issues at all, it just works. Just normal maintenance (oil, brake pads, battery). Only thing I complain is that it is not silent car on road as wheel noises can be quite loud. But it just works, that’s what most important to me.

I have a 2010 i Touring Plus. Has 215 width Firestone Firehawk all seasons on it. Wouldn't have it any other way. Such a fun car and I've heard the four cylinder feels much more nimble than the v6 (probably because the engine weights 200 pounds less). Handles very good in the snow despite the fact its front wheel drive

I just bought this as my first car but it's red. I love everything about it so far, and all this info is really good to know. Super affordable and still feels really good for being made in 2009.

If ever having a problem with car not starting or rough idle after gassing up or at random times runs rough while idle, change the purge solenoid which is in behind battery. Big job to change this as you have to pull out alot of stuff under hood just to get to it. It will throw an engine code p1450 and p144a.

I have a 2009 6s GT 3.7L very similar to this, down to the interior color (the shiny black trim stuff). I am thinking of switching to a white interior, but I like the car. Better than the 320i I was driving before

I love my 2009 Mazda6. The only thing I hate is the car alarm. It goes off for no reason. Took to the dealership, couldn't resolve the problem or deactivate the system. The dealership only created more problems and issues. Never taking the car back to them, but I digress. Mazda built a great car here and I am pleased with my purchase.

I got the same car with 90,000 miles on it and it runs nice

Very cool!

On the Mazda/Ford 3.7L, the water pump is internal and driven by the timing chain. It can leak coolant into the crankcase, trashing the motor. Periodic oil tests with Blackstone Labs can indicate whether you're getting coolant in the oil - Hopefully before you incur major damage. Expect to pay at least $1,500 to replace the water pump. More if you sensibly replace the timing chain "while you're in there". The 2009 Mazda 6s also had a recall for structural corrosion on the front subframe. The recall service included coating the subframe with a thick wax-like substance and I think rerouting a drain line or two. Check condition before you buy.

The 4 is even more reliable. They are using the old mazda 6 2.5l in the transit work vans doing great. Mazda tweeked the intake and throttle body so a bit more zoom than the 2.5 fusion. Still gets 25 city to 32 mpg highway after 140k miles.

Can anyone help me? I'm having trouble finding the V6 as all of them are the 4 cylinder. What are the issues with the 4 cylinder that I should avoid and get the six cylinder over?

My 2009 has 260k. Only problem is my Bose stereo left side speakers stopped working.

It's a beast

hi i need an urgent advice. i m searching for used cars and i found one Mazda 6 2009 2.5 engine. it has 270.000km . i test drived it it seems very well maintained. should i risk it and buy it? i really liked the car. thankss

I just picked up a 2006 v6 model. Got it at a pretty fair price. 160 some k miles... Small body issues such as a couple dings and dents but if I can get 200k that'd be great 👍😎👌

I bought a used Grand Touring and had it for about a year. Beautiful car! Unfortunately at 215k miles the water pump in the engine gave out and the cost of getting that repaired was not worth it. Ended up using that money and then some to buy a 2021 Mazda3. I’m loving it, but I do miss my 6 :’)

I own a 2010 Mazda 6 with 160,000 miles. Best car by far I ever owned. Better and more reliable than Corollas I owned. I work on cars and I do admit, things tend to be more work in this car, for example, light bulbs, radiator, the front bumper, etc, but overall, I LOVE IT. It has been very, very reliable. The 2.5 engine has plenty of juice. V6's tend to have more problems and are costlier to repair. Plus more money on gas, much faster. But its an individual choice. Go with the I touring or I touring plus, they tend to have more on them, the sport is the cheapest one. Honestly, if you do not work on cars too much, consider the repairs are going to be costlier. For example, the radiator took me a day to replace, you literally have to dismantle the front end. Since mechanic charge by hour, its going to be a sky high bill. The Mazda 6 has lots of curb appeal and since they are not that popular people will look and even till this day I get many compliments. I bought it used at about 48,000 miles, I thought it might not make it to 100. To date, the only thing that needed replacing are some rear suspension stuff. The front items were replaced due to a person that ran into me, I will not count that as a break down. Please don't pay for replacing your headlight bulb for $600. The bulb costs $10. Seems scary, but its actually very easy.

I own this car and proudly 😁, best car for daily and inside town, but not comfortable for long highway drive,, thanks mazda for this trophy 💘🌹

So the only differences I’ve noticed with mine is the nicer exhaust look on each side while mine has a dual exhaust on the one side without the V6 logo printed above it. Mine also the sedan leather seating interior instead of black. Would you say mine is still considered a grand touring trim or would it fall under a sports trim?

I got exactly the same 2009 with 190k mile. No problem at all, engine powerful like first day.

Nice Vid

Very helpful review! Looking to buy my first car and somebody near me is selling one of these bad boys. Hopefully I can snatch it!

I bought my 2011 mazda 6 it had 270.000 now it got 280.000 with no problems (its my first car and i lovee it)

Mazda me up baby

Boosting a car isn't unreliable if you use quality parts. Nice vid(the 4 cylinder is better imo)

Is the 4 cylinder as reliable?

my 2009 mazda 6 2.4l 220,000km has had ZERO issues, just the headlight bulb burns out every 5months..pain to change but got the hang of it now lol

Hey do you still drive this car and if so any problems?

Planning of getting a gen 1 Mazdaspeed3

it actually was built along with the mustang, i believe....

'feeling fast doesn't give you a ticket' :D

Lol I have my 2009 mazda 6 since 2008. Been so great only problem was the fuel pump and battery went out at the same time twice. Other than that been great. I’m at 197k I got the 4 cylinder thi

Depends on the aftermarket radio, you can change the clock. Mine allows me too. It’s an android specifically made for the Mazda 6z.

I just got a 2012 v6 Mazda 6 that has only 85,000

Why did we not get this v6 in nz?? We didnt get any mazda 6 with a v6

How’s the fuel mileage?

I bought my 2009 Mazda 6 GT in 2013 with 73k. I drove it to 220k with no issues. Sold it and bougt a Buick Regal and 3 years after owning it had the timing chain changed. Lovey Regal but the Mazda 6 was great.

Damn I wish my 09 Mazda 6 still looked like this 😂

I have one but with the petrol 2.5L engine. There have been so many issues with it and it’s only got 185k kms on it. The suspension is the main issue. I have changed upper and lower control arms at the front, shocks ( understandable I guess) the front sway bar bushes, all engine mounts and now the electric steering rack needs replacing as the torque sensor has failed. The rear hatch opens on its own accord, the drivers window regulator has also failed. The dash is also breaking down and has become all sticky. The drivetrain is good and the car is very handsome but the underpinnings are terrible. I can’t wait to sell it

I was waiting for you to review its gas cap

I have a 2009 2l Mazda 6 in the U.K. Bought it at 70,000 miles, it’s now at 210,000 miles no problems what so ever. Everything is original just normal service on it. Good car which has given me good service all these years

folks..IF YOU CAN, please give me THE BEST aftermarket nav-back-up cam for this car. mine has everything including rain-sensing wiper. i heard this is a tricky exchange but would love a decent backup cam and modern android auto abled system......

What I need to know is why a sunroof fuse is in my car when there isn't a sunroof

Whats maintenance schedule like? Oil, gearbox, coolant, brake fluid, grease, powersteering fluid, fuel filter intervals?

I have a 1.8L... 120K miles on it.. So far so good bar the the odd brake caliper sticking. The petrols are reliable.... But the same can't be said for the 2.0 and 2.2 diesels unfortunately....

I'm at 183,000 and have had no issues.

Awesome car! I have the 2012 i grand touring with all the bells and whistles but no V6. It doesn't matter to me. Its my 3rd mazda 6 and I love it this car thats why I seeked it out. 4 cylinder a bit slow ish but this car is solid and simple.

The 2.2 litre diesel engine skyactive mazda 6 makes 440NM of torque and gets up to 71 mpg

Mine is a 2011 Mazda 6 with 203k miles

Purchased a 2008 MAZDA 6, 4 cyl automatic four years ago. At 97k the auto trans went south!! Two months ago the cat converters want bad!! One week ago my temp sensor went bad!! This is becoming a money pit!!! We're trading this in for a Toyota!!

what infotainment system is that? someone please answer

Is it just the V6 ones that have the water pump problem?

Pls make a review on Mazda 6 2007, thanks 🙏

My mom is thinking of getting one of these, it´s a choice between this and an Accord or a Civic

Like the review except I don't agree with your taste in body styling. I think the exterior is still very attractive even in 2020 & way better looking than the generation prior to it. I do agree with the interior being dated but that's truly a default part of having an older car.

junk And yes, I own a Mazda six Nothing but trouble with this generation didnt last to 58,000 miles before I had to replace the motor.. All out of pocket replacing parts of the car are pretty easy to work with, but anything rubber on the car has failed. Even the clearcoat has failed.

Love these cars, but beware of the cost of replacing headlamp assembly they cost between $600 to $900!

It has a 2011 detuned, mustang cyclone engine.

How to open the trunk ? Mine is 2009 and manual

I’m not sure “Ford Explorer parts” is a great way to call something reliable...

(02:20) Mazda: *Orange Orange Orange* Nissan in the 2000’s: *Hold my beer*

Do I have a 2010 Mazda 6 2.5 l and it has 250 thousand miles on it still running... at 209,000 miles... I had part I replaced was the tension pulley and I allowed the dealership to do a recall on the cross member, which was Rust issues with the cross member but they only did one side... the funny part about it last time I checked across members one whole piece and there's rust issues that does not make sense ...rust travel...lol and I'm still arguing with Mazda about their whole cross member unit and the fact is causing problems on my passenger side front wheel because the traction control light is on and the whole suspension has been completely redone.. the issue is coming from the cross member because its throwing something off causing the ABS light on the passanger front wheel... come on Mazda... in other words... FYI do not take your car to the dealership for a cross member replacement Also on that note I figure out the problem with the turbo lag and the 5 Stroke motor alone with issue that's going on with rotary motor and Mazda have not still reached out to me I'm about to sell this to another Corporation

hey...thought i would add my thoughts since i owned two2009 6 cars. the first i owned 24 hours. i got the 4 cyl in cherry black and returned to the dealer THE NEXT DAY and said i made a mistake. i could not live with that engine!!!!!!!!!!! i lost thousands getting the black S...and have enjoyed it ever since. things that went wrong. 1)the dash melted into a sticky rubber. mazda replaced the entire dash top. 2)paint as thin as ricepaper...andanything larger than a bug will chip. 3)electronics a nightmare. failed seatbelt light. failed dash lights-going off after certain car washings 4)rubber around c pillar blacked out area decided to turn to dust and join the here-after. 5)transmission is really lagging going from 1 to 2nd gear. livable, but irritating in stop n go daily. 6)wind and tire noise. ya, i guess i could hear my wife IF I really TRIED, but it is not effort-free. but car STILL drives like an affordable BMW...perhaps better.

Duratec is also on ford Taurus and escape which are junk

Is this jetco transmission??

I bought the wrong car, i should ve got me this one or the MPS6

Could You send this Car to Hungary. Or is it no possible? Szivelyes üdvözletem🙂from Badacsonytomaj
