2004-2005 MAZDA6 Mazda Added Two New Models to the Mazda6 2004-2005 MAZDA6 Mazda added two new models to the Mazda6 lineup in the course of the 2004 model year to bolster the sedan, the Mazda6 Sport hatchback sedan and Mazda6 Sport Wagon. The station wagon comes with a V6 engine whereas the other two models can also be ordered with a four-cylinder engine. All three models are available in GS or GT trim. Also new for 2005 is a six-speed transmission, which replaces the five-speed with the V6 engine. It reduces fuel consumption by 0.3 litres in city driving and 0.2 litres on the highway. Interior and trunk The front seats are relatively easy to reach. For average to tall people, the seats are marginally comfortable because the backrest is too low, with the top section on shoulder-blade level, and the cushion is short and narrow. People who fit the seats find them very comfortable, with good side support. The tilt-telescopic steering column helps achieve a very good driving position for all but short drivers, who may bump their knees on the steering column. It is easier to get in to the back than to get out. The backseat provides comfortable seating for two adults. Foot room under the front seats is a bit tight, and head and leg room are limited for tall people. Each section of the 60/40 seatback folds automatically when you pull the corresponding handle in the trunk. The sedan has a big trunk with a rather narrow opening. The Sport version’s hatch opens wide, and the Sport Wagon’s rear door provides easy access to the roomy cargo area. The wagon also has a vertical net that can be used with the seatbacks up or down. In many respects, the station wagon is roomier than the Subaru Legacy/Outback and the Volvo V70. To avoid frequent trips to the drycleaners, we suggest passing on the GFX package, which includes side skirts guaranteed to soil your clothes on your way in and out. Convenience and safety Well soundproofed and very well finished, the cabin has lots of practical storage spaces. The cup holders should be moved from behind the gearshift lever; the tall containers they can accommodate get in the way when shifting the manual transmission. Instruments and controls are well located and easy to use. However, the turn signal and wiper levers feel and sound cheap. Photos : www.mazda.ca The heating system warms up quickly and provides plenty of heat. Safety equipment includes two front air bags, ABS brakes, bright headlights, and head restraints that provide proper whiplash protection. Visibility is good on all sides but to the rear. All but the four-cylinder GS and GS station wagon versions have front side air bags and inflatable air curtains. The Sport hatchback and Sport Wagon have two rear head restraints, unlike the sedan, which has none at all in the back, in any version. Engine and transmission Two engines are available for the Mazda6. The first, a 2.3-litre Four, develops 160 hp and 155 lb-ft of torque. Acceleration and pickup are good when the engine is running over 3,000 rpm. Torque is weak below this level. The engine is smooth and climbs easily through the rev range. Despite its 200 hp and 192 lb-ft of torque, the V6, too, has to be running above 3,000 rpm for good acceleration. The V6 is livelier than the Four, but it doesn’t turn the Mazda6 into a muscle car. It is distinctively smooth and progressive. The manual gearbox is easy to shift, precise and well-geared, with a smooth clutch. The five-speed automatic shifts very smoothly. On the road Superbly tuned, the fully independent suspension provides a combination of ride comfort and road holding that is almost ideal. You’d have to turn to much more expensive European models to find a firm yet compliant ride of this calibre. When the reaction stiffens up, it is due more to the 17-inch, 50-profile tires than to the suspension. The Mazda6 follows whatever trajectory the driver dictates, no matter what the road surface, and feels very solid. All versions are comfortable and truly fun to drive. Adding to the driving pleasure and well matched to the lively suspension, the power steering is quick, stable and precise. It provides some road feedback, but the turning circle is a bit long. Braking is powerful and fade resistant. In our inspection at a CAA-Quebec technical inspection centre, the Mazda6 proved to be very well designed both underneath and under the hood. The only thing missing in the engine compartment is a light. The only irritant is the lack of space between the tires and the fender liners. When the build-up of wet snow and slush freezes, the wheels can be hard to turn. Photos : www.mazda.ca Conclusion For all drivers (but especially those who really like to drive), the Mazda6 is one of the best vehicles in its category. It is nicely packaged, comfortable, well balanced and well assembled, and fun to drive (are we repeating ourselves?), with an attractive price-to- quality ratio. And with three different models, there’s all the versatility you could wish for. PROS: road holding, ride, transmissions, trunk, assembly, steering, choice of models. CONS: no rear head restraints (sedan), torque at low rpm, trunk opening (sedan), backrest and cushion, cup holders, snow build-up in fenders 2004-2005 MAZDA6 Engine: 16-valve, 2.3-litre 4-cyl., 24-valve, 3.0-litre V6 Horsepower: 160 hp @ 6,000 rpm; 220 hp @ 6300 rpm Torque: 155 lb-ft @ 4,000 rpm; 192 lb-ft @ 5000 rpm Transmission: 5-speed manual; 4-, 5- or 6-speed automatic Suspension: fully independent Brakes: 4-wheel disc Length: 474.5 cm Width: 178 cm Height: 144 cm Wheelbase: 267,5 cm Weight: 1,380 to 1,502 kg Tires: 205/60R16; 215/50R17 Towing capacity: non-recommended Air bags: standard front.

With its unique 2.3-liter direct-injection turbo-charged four-cylinder engine mated to a six-speed manual transmission and a high- tech Active Torque-Split All-Wheel Drive system, the MAZDASPEED6 has all the performance and passion of a specialist rally replica, but with the refinement of a luxury sedan. Mazda’s Zoom-Zoom philosophy is applied to every aspect of the MAZDASPEED6, from a subtly aggressive bodykit to a cabin that’s been created especially for the sporting driver. But the MAZDASPEED6 is not just about speed: it’s an extremely unique balance of muscle car performance wrapped in the skin of a sensual, aesthetically pleasing design. The MAZDASPEED6 offers a host of creature comforts that the “rally replicas” could only hope for, such as comfortable and supportive seats with available leather trim, standard six-speaker AM/FM/CD BOSE® audio sound system featuring a six-disc CD changer, standard xenon headlights and available moonroof and DVD-based navigation system. “As our premium model, the MAZDASPEED6 reflects the company’s most advanced performance capabilities – from horsepower to cornering performance to braking, the MAZDASPEED6 is Mazda performance on show,” said Eiji Oyama, MAZDASPEED6 vehicle line manager for Mazda North American Operations.

(SOA) today marked its 50th Anniversary with a ceremony for its 500+ employees at the automaker’s Cherry Hill, NJ headquarters (HQ) conducted by President and COO, Thomas J. Doll. Doll and Subaru employees, dressed in matching gold 50th anniversary T-shirts, counted down to zero on a 50th anniversary digital clock that has been marking down days in Subaru HQ for a year. Following a round of joyful applause, Doll unveiled a 3-by-4-foot, 300-pound bronze plaque, produced by local artist Chad Fisher. Taking inspiration from ‘The Stars of our Future,’ the plaque depicts two Subaru employees and the famous Subaru six-star cluster logo. “This was a great way to celebrate turning 50,” said Doll. “This company has seen so much in its 50 years, and now we can mark this anniversary on the back of 10 years of sales increases. Our employees are our bedrock and that’s why we are celebrating them with the amazing plaque by Chad Fisher, which represents our employees, retailers and customers. The plaque will last for the next 50,000 years and, as we have a bright future ahead of us, we very much look forward to what the next 50 years will bring for Subaru.” To kick off the year of celebrations in 2017, in a way that embodies the automaker’s spirit of supporting good causes and the local community, SOA donated 50 new 2018 Subaru Outback vehicles to select Meals on Wheels programs throughout the country to be used in the delivery of an estimated 53,000 meals to an additional 3,700 seniors across 39 states.
