Buying the 2006 Mazda 6
No 2006 Mazda 6 is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Before you buy the 2006 Mazda 6, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
What to check on the 6
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
The numbers in plain words
Under the hood: the 2.3L 4-cylinder and front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Combined fuel use is 9.8 L/100 km: about 29 litres for 300 km. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $45.57 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Space and size
As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. Luggage space is rated at 623 litres: bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Best uses
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
A longer test drive
A week with the 6 answers more than any brochure. If the 6 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Drive the 6 on your commute before you commit to it.
Running costs
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Picking a year and a trim
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
