Check out real-world situations relating to the Mazda 6 2004 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

Mazda 6 2004 vs Honda Accord 2008: Which should I buy?
Until you described the condition I would have said the Mazda, but if the condition were only fair I would think twice about it. On the surface it’s the better option, but I would want it checked by an expert to get a true reading on the overall condition. The Honda could be a good buy, the mileage isn’t excessive for the age, but you have to think about the future and what could happen in the next 2 to 3 years.

Mazda 6 2004: 10 percent ethanol?
The recommended fuel for the Mazda6 is 95, while the oil companies claim E10 has a minimum of 94. Your car would most likely run fine on E10, but I wouldn't expect it to perform as well or give the same economy as it would on PULP.

Mazda 6 2004: Can snow chains be fitted?
WE CHECKED with Mazda and were advised that chains can be fitted to the Mazda6 Limited, Luxury and Luxury Sport models. They do not recommend fitting them to the Classic versions as the gap between the tyre side wall and suspension arm is not sufficient. One solution is to buy narrower wheels and tyres to get more clearance, but the clear message to anyone wanting to visit the snow is to check if your car can be fitted with chains before you hand over your cash on one that won't do what you want it to do.
