I have an '04 Mazda6 wagon with a 5-spd manual, V-6, and 91K miles on the clock.
Decent car, paid $19.5K brand new, inexpensive to insure, handles well, not the quickest off the line, great highway cruiser, completely reliable (only gas, oil, and tires) except for a few minor warranty issues.
Safety? The '07 and '08 models have front/rear side curtain airbags (the 9-5 has no rear side airbags) and EBD but do not have stability control (the 9-5 does). I'd go for a '07 hatch or wagon.
All in all, I'm very pleased with the car, especially for what I paid. I'd get another one but I insist on having stability control and I don't want an '09 sedan -- I want another wagon or hatch, neither of which Mazda markets in the US (see http://www.mazda.co.uk or http://www.mazda.de for what those look like)
