Buying Tips:
Beware that the base SV model doesn’t include cruise control—a feature that’s now almost taken for granted by sedan buyers. It’s not as easy as it once was to add, either.

Pros
Fuel Economy, performance (turning radius and power), looks great, plenty of cabin space, options
Cons
So far the only thing I dont like is how thin the paint is. A little rock makes a noticeable mark
Purchased As New
I was REALLY shopping for cars and test drove Camry, Altima, Scion, and Mazda 6. Of the cars Altima and Mazda had the most powerful 4 cylinder engine. In fact Altima and Mazda were neck and neck in a lot of features. There were a few things that made me choose Mazda how ever. One- The Mazda cost less. Two- more cabin space than the others. Three- The Mazda has a style and appearance that blew my mind compared to the others. It has balls. Four- Great options, colors, plenty of fun on the steering wheel and illumination is pretty cool. Five- The salesmen at Mazda were much nicer than Nissan (it was down to those two). Six- better standard warranty than the Nissan. And Seven- it has great fuel economy, while still pulling great power with a 170hp 4 cylinder

I own a 2010 6, now with 19,000 miles. I enjoy the car. However, I hope that I can encourage anyone who has a 2009 or 2010 mazda and is suffering from the dreadful paint that is on these cars will contact Mazda. If there are enough of us who are suffering the same thin paint problems hopefully we can get Mazda to repaint these areas with paint that will last. My car is only 8 months old, and I baby it like no other. Only hand-washed (by me) waxed, and kept in garage. Still there are more nicks and dings on the hood and front fenders of my car than my black thunderbird that is 14 years old. Mazda’s new ‘Greener’ paint will absolutely leave you fuming.

I also have a new 2010 Mazda 6. I am very discouraged with the paint quality. This car is only a month old and I completely baby it as well. Everytime I look at the car it has another surface scratch. I think that a leaf brushing across the surface would leave a mark. I paid extra for a paint protection coating and still many hairline scratches all over the car. I have explained my disappointment to the dealership and they have agreed to send the car to their bodyshop for evaluation. I am not holding my breathe for any solution but here’s hoping. I will post any significant results.

My wife and I purchased a black Mazada 5 about 5 months ago. However I have notice chips all over the hood and side mirriors. Looks like we have been in a sand storm. I am taking the car back to see what can be done. Nice car, bad paint.

My daughter’s not quiet 2 y/o 6’s paint is blistering. Dealer and a body shop both agree it’s from tree sap. Factory rep say’s it’s not their problem and expect us to foot the repair bill. I’ve own or leashed over 40 cars and have never had paint blister from tree sap or anything else! I feel a relativly new car’s paint should stand up to tree sap. It’s not like we don’t have trees around!!! The car gets washed regularly. The car is leased and the lease is up in September. We are at a loss for what to do now.
