How long do MS6 Last?

[AllproJJ]

I was wondering how long do these cars last?
I know that they started in 2006 so I don't know how many of you have high miles... (Over 100k) on it. But I does anyone know how good the engine and tranny hold up?

I know each car is different but... maybe just an estimate or average would be nice.

****SORRY I MEANT FOR THE TITLE OF MY POST TO SAY MS6 (Mazdaspeed 6 not 3's)

I dunno..lets see...

Well I personally think that if you keep up on the maintenance of this vehicle, It could last you up to 90K miles before something goes amiss my child

or we could try the magic 8 ball...

giggles..i prefer the 8 ball

bottom line is..i don't think anyone has racked up anywhere near that many miles. check back next year

By the way MS3 MS6 & CX-7 all have the same engine.

hardly..but partially true. more like the MS3 & MS6 have the same engine..the CX-7 just shares little more than the block. correct me if i'm wrong

edit: and the motor doesn't really help to much when trying to determine how long the car as a whole will last, unless we are assuming the drivetrain/chassis will never wear out

its a car....if you take care of it it will last a long time...how the **** do you really expect to know the lifespan of a car that wasnt produced until less than two years ago....

So, where exactly did you pull that figure out of? That seems like a very random guess you've made. I guess I'm just wondering if you have any evidence to back up that claim.

Mostly since I know there are a decent number of people who have already had their cars into the dealership for warranty work within the first 5-10k miles.

Well Peon...For your information. A friend of mine has a Volkwagen Jetta 1.8T. he currently has 80K miles on it, and that car has given him no misfortune. If a Mazdaspeed6 which has an increased build integrity can't last 90K miles, I will step down from my throne...

Same engine, 2.3 disi turbo. It seems a bit more sedate in the cx7 since it's heavier and auto though.

 

[shane02pro5]

CX-7 has a smaller turbo!

i dotn see if taken care of we get high milage liek older mazdas.
i see a ton of mazdas or now a bucnh were around 200,000 miles for cars from the early 90's are still runnig as daily drivers or beaters. Or guys buying 150,000 miles plus cars and doing light maintence and they are still running.

My ford escort (bg chassis mazda and bp mazdamotor. ran till 140,000 miles till it sucked up water and died). that was the only time since buying the car with 102,000 miles did it have a problem where it didnt run. New motor with 152,000 miles and feul pump actually was going around 157,000 miles.

So i dont see any reason why this car cant last a long time knowing alot fo older mazdas are still runngi high milage, and guys are still adding boost to a high milage motor and no touching the inside.

all three cars have the exact same ENGINE as originally posted. so does the mazda 6i and the mazda3..its the turbo and ECU(mostly ecu) that makes the difference as far as power and response go.

How long any car will last will be determined by how you drive it and maintain it. If your running it ragged racing it every weekend, there will be lots more wear. If you don't do oil changes on a regular basis, well you get the idea... for example, I have a good friend with a 95 5.0 mustang with a little over 250,000 miles on it... it still does low 14's in the quarter and runs great, but the interior looks like crap.

Dude, its a Mustang. The interior was crap from the day you bought it. ;-)
