I just bought an 05 Mazda 6i. And I found out after that the motor is a Ford Duratec. Does anyone know how much of this car is Ford? What are the differences? It has a Made in America sticker. I fugured it was assembled here with Japanese parts. I knew they shared with the Ranger and Tribute but not the 6. Help!!!!
 
Everything. 100% of your car is ford. Even the emblems and stuff that says Mazda.















































Just kidding! I actually have no idea.
 
There isn't a single car manufacturer (outside of the 80k+ cars) that don't share parts.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but pretty much every sub 50k car is made up of parts from a multitude of manufacturers.

Your car is part mitsu, part ford, part mazda, part volvo, and I bet there is some gm and honda parts in there somewhere.
 
whats the tranny from. I know the V6 tranny was same one from maxima.
 
engine origin: Mexico
tranny origin: Japan

Alot of imports are actualy built stateside. IIRC altima is tennesee based.

Haha, yup. Al of Mazdas horrible tuning and all of Americas crappy parts.

Not 100% true. There is worst than are cars AKA V6 altima. It's turning radius is worst than saturns rings. And trust me, from experience I know that those cars are pieces of s***. They eventually rattle as much as are Mazda 6's and torquy steering really sucks.
 
altima is faster than 6 but after the straights disapear the handeling and parking is horrible. I'm talking mess up a wet dream while laying in bed next to a necked beyonce horrible! It's not hearsay I physicaly did drive the 05 V6 altima. I felt what we would call shift shock in the altima as well.
