Mazda Mazda 6 Submodels
The Mazda6 launched in 2002 as the successor to the long-running 626. It was a cornerstone of Mazda's 'Zoom-Zoom' brand identity, offering a more engaging driving experience than its midsize sedan competitors. Available as a sedan, 5-door hatchback, and wagon, the first generation (2002-2007) provided a practical and fun package that stood out from the crowd.
The most collectible model is the Mazdaspeed6, sold from 2005-2007. It featured a 2.3L turbocharged inline-4 making 274 horsepower, a 6-speed manual transmission, and all-wheel drive. Enthusiasts also seek out the rare wagon and hatchback body styles, especially those with manual transmissions. As early cars are now over 20 years old, clean, low-mileage examples are becoming appreciated by a new generation of collectors.
With an average sale price around $7,500, the Mazda6 market remains firmly in the affordable used car segment. The majority of the 40 transactions are for standard first and second-generation sedans used as daily drivers. Top prices nearing $18,500 are typically reserved for exceptional, low-mileage Mazdaspeed6 models, which have a dedicated following.
Buying Tips
- Rust is a common issue on first-generation cars, so inspect the rear wheel wells, rocker panels, and subframes thoroughly.
- The 2.3L MZR engine can consume oil and have issues with its variable valve timing (VVT) actuator. Look for smoke from the exhaust and listen for a rattling noise from the timing chain on a cold start.
- For the Mazdaspeed6, check for a smoky turbo, which indicates failing seals. The all-wheel drive system's transfer case is also a known weak point.
- Pay attention to interior wear, particularly on the driver's seat bolster and dashboard plastics, as it can indicate hard use.
Prices range from $430 for project cars to $18,500 for pristine, low-mileage variants.
