- Mazda 6s GT
I'm late to the conversation, but I was one of those affected by the got-damned ridiculous Ford engineering of the 2nd Gen 3.7 engine. Water pump blew and ran me $3,700 to fix...to replace a $250 part because the whole engine has to come out. And it wasn't just the 6 that had this problem. Ford Edge shared same type engine as did Lincoln MKX and MKZ. I paid, so I must be a deranged 6 fanatic. Would I consider another 6? To that, I say f@#k Ford. Now, that's not to say that other car manufacturers aren't doing some crazy s***, like having to tear apart all the unders to get to a starter on a Toyota Tundra. I drove a '17 6 GT loaner while getting some recall work done and I do say it feels underpowered. Gorgeous car, aggressive, but no balls to back it up. My 111k mile 6s has more breathe left in it than a brand spanking new 6 coming straight off the lot this afternoon. But that's just my 2 cents. When a car company gets it right, it's right, bottom line.The wife's Tahoe of 15 years is going on 300k miles...biggest expense was a $2,400 trans rebuild. Would I buy another Tahoe, hell yeah. So niche market, niche customer base...nothing baffling about that.
