Ali mardon Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 Dear car lovers, I would love to receive your opinion regarding below. Recently, my ex-collegue told me that He wants to sell his Mazda6 2.0 2015 model. Mid option. Car is clean, no accident, no big issues. Almost perfect condition.He just recently changed the gear oil only car has done 75.000 km I know the market price. So, I felt that 40k aed can close the deal. however. I need to know If Mazda brand especially, Mazda 6 is reliable or not in a long term?( about maintenance, quality, parts service....etc) coz, I need to buy a car and drive it minimum 3-4 years Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow79 Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 mazda 6 is a strong car but its value breaks really fast and parts are not easily available if you can go for a lexus or a toyota it would be a much better option and later on you are sure to sell it off when you want to as toyotas and lexus goes very fast if price is fair 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertdude Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Be 100% sure what transmission oil was used. These new mazdas have that fandangled skyactiv technoligy nonsense and require specific branded oils ( translation : Expensive). If its not the right fluid you could be soon looking at an expensive transmission job. I would flush the entire system and have it refilled again with the proper fluids. Just for that extra mental satisfaction. And yeah with that much money get your self a nice lexus LS or even an older LX. If you are going the jap crap route, might as well be stylish and comfy about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali mardon Posted August 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Thanks , I was in a dilemma between buying this or no. now, I made uo my mind to choose a safer way.

You really helped me clear away doubts. Actually, now , I decided not to go for Mazda. I think Hyundai Elantra or Kia Cerato can fullfill my needs 8 hours ago, desertdude said: Be 100% sure what transmission oil was used.

Actually I decided not to buy Mazda I once considered to buy Lexus but prices are high. And, toyota is for me a bit boring in terms of interior styling. So, I believe, kia cerato can be a good option as a small family car. What do you think? Or Elantra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow79 Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 Steer clear or KIA and Hyundai brothers they have good looks but are useless in Performance and maintenance wise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertdude Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 I disagree, toyota is making nothing but over priced junk now for a long timr. The Koreans have come a long way in quality and reliability. And look a milliom times better than yotas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
