Got the pleasure of test driving a sport AT a couple of weeks ago and it confirmed my suspicions.... I am in love with this car and I want one badly..... BUT I hope I can get some answers to my nagging little questions I have about this car and Mazda in general.
As a preface I have to explain a few things. I am currently driving a 1998 Camry with about 300K miles on her atm, I live 86 miles from my job....
I have been doing my own mechanical work most of my life, but have never owned a new vehicle, so I am a bit apprehensive of a few things in this car, maybe you guys can allay my fears
Can this car achieve the highway MPG that it claims... 38 sounds lofty to me?
Does the FI system use Piezo injectors and if so how durable / dependable are they?
Am real interested in the Diesel but I understand it uses the common rail injection system, my fear is that it may suffer the same High Pressure Fuel Pump failure of the Volkswagon TDI, anyone have any reports of failure from say overseas, where it has been out for a while?
I've been a Toyota / Nissan driver most of my life, how durable / dependable are Mazda in general <as I will blow through my warranty in like one year....>
I know with the amount of mileage I drive<52K a year> I should buy a Prius and keep on truckin, but my god this new six is so classy looking <Sexy I say> and fun to drive, might I add. But the Prius is so godawful plain.....
I have been researching this car but I am failing to find the info I need to be comfortable with a new car purchase, help a guy out please?
