During its rigorous development, some 400 Mazda engineers subjected crucial MAZDA 6 components to testing that simulated 10 years of extreme use. Then, to further prove its reliability, they drove a fleet of MAZDA 6 test cars for a total of more than one million miles.* In fact, by the time you see a MAZDA 6, it will have survived a demanding gauntlet of quality control standards that are among the strictest in the industry. Hundreds upon hundreds of individual inspections are conducted by an army of Mazda inspectors. Each one empowered to reject any part, fit, detail or component that fails to measure up. Because from the smallest interior switch to the virtually flawless exterior finish, quality is an obsession at Mazda. Which is why, as you lose yourself in the pure driving fun of a MAZDA 6, you can be confident that Mazda durability and attention to detail will be there for you. Today. Tomorrow.

  • 2007 Mazdaspeed6: Taking Zoom-Zoom to the Extreme
    For Immediate Release Contacts: Jeremy Barnes, Mazda North American Operations, 949.727.6844 Danica Laub, Mazda North American Operations, 949.727.6220 Tim Gilman, Mazda Information Bureau, 949.223.2313 2007 MAZDASPEED6: TAKING ZOOM-ZOOM TO THE EXTREME Introduced in 2006, the MAZDASPEED6 is the fastest-accelerating, best-handling and most-advanced sports sedan Mazda has ever built. 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.

  • 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.

  • Mazda 2020 Mazda6 Brochure
    2020 MAZDA Ḇ WELCOME TO THE CLUB. A Mazda is never just a Mazda. It’s a feeling. It’s a shot of anticipation just before you press start. It’s that urge to take one last look as you walk away. It’s the notion that a vehicle should move your body as well as your soul. It’s a love affair with the road. Any road. It’s a knowing glance that passes between Mazda drivers. It’s the feeling that you don’t just own a Mazda, you have a lifelong, irrevocable membership in The Clubhouse of Driving Passion. FEEL ALIVETM ARTFUL DESIGN The Japanese art of flower arrangement, Ikebana, expresses a philosophy of essentialism. Ikebana uses colour combinations, graceful lines and a harmony among the materials, the vase and the setting. Its beauty comes from refining a composition to its simplest form. Similarly, Mazda’s design is based on extracting beauty by showcasing what is essential and eliminating the unnecessary. A philosophy eloquently expressed in the MazdaḆ. Truly beautiful design goes beyond simply being aesthetically pleasing. It invites action. With its sleek, seductive profile, the MazdaḆ demands to go new places. For you to see more. Feel more. And expand your possibilities. Inside, the available ambient LED cabin lighting* highlights an elegant cabin perfectly set to host new experiences and entertain bold ideas. With every glance, every curve and every kilometre, there is always more to discover and be inspired by. MAZDA Ḇ *Standard on the Signature model. It’s a mark of pride. A symbol of authenticity.

  • Cars and Trucks 13-Apr-12
    Year/Model Interchange List -- All Makes -- Cars and Trucks 13-Apr-12 PLEASE OTE: This will be the last year for free distribution of the list in this form. Starting late spring 2012, the database will be searchable on the Scalia Safety Engineering website at http://www.scaliaanderson.com/clones with a subscription fee of $50/year. Suggestions for using the YEAR/MODEL ITERCHAGE LIST (Clones/Sisters List): This list is created for researching primarily frontal impact tests. The first year produced may contain a reference to which vehicle the subject vehicle was based on, if applicable, or Whether the subject vehicle was a restyle of an existing vehicle. This may be of assistance in trying to find a greater sample of similar vehicles. This information will generally be listed OLY in the first year of production. Remember that if you are concerned with yaw inertia or side impact, watch out for different wheelbases on the same model. These lists were produced with frontal crush data in mind. Body=Type of construction. f=frame/body, u=unitized Drive=Drive wheels. f=front, r=rear, 4 or a=all Body Styles: 2d=2door,3d=2door Hatchback,4d=4door,5d=4door Hatchback,SW=Station Wagon WB=Wheelbase. When more than one is listed, they correspond to the order of body style listing. Please also allow me the standard disclaimer that I do not in any way guarantee the accuracy of these lists. Some similarities represent my own estimates, and some of the older years are by memory. Most are pulled from specifications tables which may contain inaccuracies all their own.
