70k on my 06 6i, bought it with 62 miles on the ODO. No major issues, its a very reliable car. My gas mileage has dropped from 35mpg to 27mpg and I am not sure why. Ethanol maybe???
My Blue 2007 6i 5-door automatic has 63,000 trouble free miles. Bought new in Nov.06 to replace a 03 6s w/ 32,000 miles which was stolen and totaled. Love the car, may need to replace the OEM tires soon. BTW, I'm getting 23-26 MPG in the City and 28-30 MPG on the Highway.
I have a 2003 6i automatic purchased new. I am the original owner. I had 187292 the last time I checked the odometer. I haven't had any trouble so far just reg. maintenance. The car has been garaged and all of the miles are highway miles for the most part. Looking to get at least another 50K

Just maintenance mostly. The passenger seat back adjustment latch did break/got loose a couple of times though.

'05 6i MTX. Bought 12/07 with 42,000 miles. Dropped it off yesterday at dealer for last minute minor extended warranty stuff @ 99,900 miles. BTW, I get about 31 MPG with Tanabe exhaust, timing advanced, air box mod, and K&N panel filter...
123,000 on my '04 6i, it had 300 when I bought it in january of '05. The only thing that has been done is having a caliper replaced at about 10,000 miles because the shim was hitting the rotor, other than that, runs great!
Over 141K on my 2003 6i MTX, bought new with 5 miles on it!
Very reliable on the whle, with just synthetic fluids.
Issues so far
100K or so - Alternator
CV Boots once each of the fronts
CV Axles once for the left and twice for the right
Changed rear brakes once (still had life at 120K+) and fronts twice (OEMs were not dead at 50K)
And today - radiator, hoses etc. Expensive, but all things considered, should extend the life of the car
Plan to hold on to it for a while longer, still get great highway mileage (30-31)!
61640 Miles on her...2004 Mazda 6i, bought in 2006 with 17K on it...I put some miles on her and she starting to throw some minor issues at me...but overall, statisfied!
