Check the clutch in a car with manual gearbox for slippage too. Remember, if in doubt, a quick mechanical inspection at a Mazda dealer can offer big peace of mind and prevent future headaches. While there, the service department can check for the performance of recall work which dealt with seatbelts, a brake-fluid level sensor and a fuel sending unit seal.
Finally, check out the condition of the paint, noting any excessive rust on the trunk area below the license plate and around the wheel wells. Be sure the climate control system and power seat adjusters both work properly, too.
As with all of its competitors, the used Mazda 6 isn’t without a few issues to be aware of when shopping. If you’re after a sport sedan or sport wagon that’s heavy on the ‘sport’ side of the equation, a well-maintained used 6 should be a priority test drive.
