mazda6, mazda6 sports wagon and the mazda 5 door built on the same line!!!

 

that should be a crime!!!

 

I hope some Mazada doesn't get my IUP! B)

 

i think the mazda6 is a fine car for the mustang to share the line with, especially the sport hatch

 

That's a good shot, I like that, thanks for sharing!

 

Now that's funny

 

I hope the new Mustangs don't have the same Mazda 6s clutch issue. I had one of those and it needed a clutch in 6,000 miles. The replacement clutch started chattering at about 14,000 miles.

I dumped the car.

 

Why? I own a Mazda 6 and it's one of the finest cars I've ever owned. I'm holding off buying a Mustang with the hopes of being able to buy one and keep my Mazda at the same time.

 

Old picture from the launch party Saw it all happening in person. Pretty cool

 

Considering that the Mazda 6 is Front Wheel Drive and shares absolutly NO Mechanical Components with the 05 I don't see how this could even be concievable. I wouldn't worry.

 

HAHAHHA way to cheer up my night after coming home from the ER

 

Coming soon to a dealer near you: the Mazdaspeed Mustang.

 

Mazdaspeed Mustang? :notnice:

 

 

What about the SVT 6?

 

But what's up with the white gloves? I really don't care if people's hands touch my car.

I would tend to agree, however, you know how global companies work these days. If they can save 2 cents buy purchasing clutch assemblies from a single supplier, they will do it. Just thought it possible that the same guys that screwed up the 6s clutch may be at work on these.

LORD LET'S HOPE NOT.

 

I too have a Mazda6 and I second that it is a very fine car. I plan to buy my first Mustang after the lease is up on it but in the mean time it puts a smile on my face each time I start it up.

Besides, you guys should be thanking Mazda. They have a lot to do with the excellent build quality of the new Mustang.

Also, the MAZDASPEED Mazda6 goes on sale next year. Twin turbo 2.3L I4, 274 HP and 280 ft-lbs, AWD, DSC, 6-speed MTX. However, it will be built in Japan due to its low volume. Should be quite a car. No match for the Mustang GT in a straight line but you can bet it will be able to catch up in the twisties.

It's tempting but there's no way I'm giving up my dream of owning a Mustang GT convertible. I've waited too long and the current model is too good to be true.

I spend a lot of time on Mazda 6 forums on web and I've never seen anyone complain about the clutch. I believe it's one of two things:

1. an isolated issue with your particular car

or

2. your driving style

I don't believe it's a design, or build quality issue with the 6.

 

um...i care
