The Mazda 6 earned product awards and accolades from the motoring press for its handling, performance and sports appeal, yet its relative obscurity means you won't likely see it in your neighbor's driveway. No wagons, no wussy automatics.
Upon deployment of the passenger side frontal air bag, excessive internal pressure may cause the inflator to rupture. Enough pieces and parts; let's drive. Not sure how they did that but it feels good to know your four can put it out like a V-8. I questioned Mazda on the discussion the previous day regarding the post-mortem teardown and analysis, where I was given the impression Mazda would take care of the tow and the teardown to determine root cause of the failure and then the claim would be evaluated from there.

Fuel economy has been improved for both engines, and the four-cylinder engine used on 2006 Mazda 6i models is available with a new five-speed automatic, replacing the old four-speed. Living in California, I don't get to test that claim often. The Speed 6 has it beat on every count but nimbleness and it isn't far behind considering it weighs 800 pounds more.
Mazda customer relations acted if they were interested in the root cause and reason for failure, especially since it was 1K miles out of the coverage period. I am the original owner of a 2006 model.
