Mazda 6 owners?/who knows about these?(2002)

[JesuEric]

Any mazda 6 owners or persons out there who knows about these vehicles can tell me somethings (2002-04 model)

1) Did any of the local ones come with the 1.8L or all were 2.0L and up?

2) How expensive are bushings and ends for these vehicles or cradle arms etc (suspension)

3) How reliable are they? do things go bad easy? engine wise/suspension wise?

4)where can I get parts for these? bamboo? someone in particular?

5) How do these cars perform (power, comfort, handling?

6)Where can I get stuff like fog lights, headlights?

-easy everyday car is what I want..

1) I'm not sure about the 1.8L but I know there are 2.0L and 2.3L engines.

2) Bushings are reasonably priced, I recently bought at Faiz Auto, Marabella for $75. each. Those are for the upper cradle, the entire lower cradle has to be replaced if those bushings go bad.

3) Once you maintain and take care of your car it would work well. The tensioner pulley goes bad after a while, don't know why but it happens. The other pulley bearings are easy to source.

4) You can try Faiz, Marud, Princes Town Auto, online or Southern Sales (if you have no other choice. Some parts are too expensive there)

5) As for performance, power, etc. they do work and handle very well.

6) You can get these at the parts places listed above.

Overall it's a great car, spacious, comfortable, really good ride, parts might be a little more expensive than the average Nissan or Toyota but they do last.

Hope these help.
