ms6

[ms6z]

Hi, I am planning to buy a 2006 mazdaspeed 6 GT for $16,900 w/22,000 miles on it. My concern is, are there any mechnical issues, defects, recalls, etc. that the car has/have? I did some research and found out that some ms6 went thru multiple check engine lights and differential/tranny leaks. Plus are they reliable? Any tips/help would appreciate! Thanks

I believe the 2006 model has a clutch TSB, I am not completely sure though.

i would say the car is absolutely reliable. with broken parts the car still runs and performs (i drove around with a transfer case leak, chipped flywheel, bad front brakes, worn clutch, and completely worn out tires for many months without losing integrity from the car) and it was in 3 major accidents (none my fault $$$ hehe) and now with everything new and fixed, it drives faster than when i bought it at 53 miles. it is 32000 miles now. I would say have always around $3000 in a repair fund at all times, becuase until 31000miles i had never brought my car in for repairs. which makes me think you basically have around 40000 miles between tune ups costing you anything serious. I drive fast and abuse the car as much as i can, i dont pussyfoot around my paint job fixing scratches, this car is a beast and it gets into trouble just like me. Its reliable.

also, the car never once , during those accidents wasn't able to drive away, with a smashed front end, and a bent rear axel, the car turned on in one click and drove me 30 miles back home in the snow to my body shop.

on the GT you get a handful of other features. check this: Vehicle Specs for the full list.
