Well, howdy doody! I just passed 30,000 last week, and still, not a single problem to report. The Mazda 6 brake squeal (okay, that’s a problem) from the front, passenger-side tire is a little more pronounced, but sounds like a loose clip holding the pad. It’s an annoyance issue, not anything more. As soon as I take it in for the 33,000 mile checkup, I’ll have that examined and fixed. The Mazda 6 is a sweet ride.

The Mazda6 engine runs smooth, the handling is out-of-this-world for a front-drive sedan, and my gas mileage has been hovering between 26-28 MPG (mostly highway driving) with the V6. Wish it were a bit higher, but I tend to drive a little aggressively and fast.

I’m also seeing more Mazda 6’s on the road, too. Still a lot less than the Accord (boring!) or anything else in this range. When I see the occasional Acura TSX, I think I got the better deal as the car really does look just like a sooped up Honda Accord (since that’s all it is).
