Buying a used 2008 Mazda 6 transmission from a non-reliable dealer is an unnecessary risk. K I check my oil levels every single week 2. This is not fair and Mazda doesn't care.

On the road the 6 can feel a bit less substantial than its direct competitors. Transmission lines broken under fan shroud.

Sometimes feels as though emergency brake is on.
So it's still not right. Otherwise tranny is shifting great. The motor was replaced at 32k. Trim Levels At the bottom of the 6 pecking order is the base i Sport trim level that is only available as a sedan. Disappointing repair to have at 68k, but Mazda covered most of the cost of the repair. My mechanic suspects some sensor that until it fails completely, cannot be fixed. Also bought rear shock but never replaced it.
Replaced bushings in 3rd, 4th, and 5th gears. Lining low but some life left. Compared with its competition, the 6 is an agile, fun-to-drive sedan.
