Re: 2009 mazda6 loud whinning noise when accelerating on 1st gear [michaelscai]
I have the 2010 Mazda 6 touring plus for about 17 months. I have 15k miles on the car and so far the car has been great. The only complaint I have is that the bluetooth on the receiver's end (people have complained to me) is raspy at times. I have 'not' brought the car to the dealer for the bluetooth, but will when I have the time.

Re: POST #20 [jeffyscott]
I might have some insight into this, I own the 2009 mazda6 2.5 and also drove a rental ford fusion with the same engine. I noticed the fusion runs at lower rpm cruising speed, so the culprit might be the transmission/engine tuning. I prefer the how the fusion is tuned. wonder if there is a way to reprogram the mazda to match maybe by taking it to a ford dealer?

Re: 2009 Mazda6 iGT Lock-Out Mode?? [626gt]
Hi 626gt and all, http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123738682-HELP!-09-Mazda-6-Won-t-S- tart-Push-to-Start This is the link that pointed out "lock out mode".

Unusual Recall Notice for Mazda6
http://content.usatoday.com/communities/driveon/post/2011/03/spider-infestation-- recall-web-mazda6-mazda/1 The recall of 2009 and 2010 Mazda6s is due to "a certain type of spider" that "may weave a web in the evaporative canister vent line and this may cause a restriction in the line," the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says on its website. Another 13,000 of the cars sold in Puerto Rico, Canada and Mexico are also being recalled.

Mazda6 - Reasons why it isn't selling....
The poor sales of the Mazda6 has been the subject of extensive discussion on a Mazda3 Owner/Enthusiast site that I visit regularly. There have been a lot of reasons suggested and some make more sense than others. But before I get into those, here are a few links to stories praising the Mazda6 and also pondering why it isn't selling- http://blogs.cars.com/kickingtires/2010/02/why-is-no-one-buying-the-mazda6.html http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2010/09/mazda-celebrates-building-2000000-maz- da6-cars.html Popular Mechanics did a comparison test of all ...

How about some facts?
Do you guys have anything to back up your claims that the car is a failure due to marketing? I think it is a failure because they tried a "me too" strategy, creating a car that is more similar to the competition than the version it replaced. This (unsurprisingly, IMO) did not work. From the time when it was new, here is a story that mentions this "me too" strategy: Mazda ... Read More

Re: opinions please! [hlfan32]
If your 2009 Camry Hybrid is leased, how do you intend to use it as a trade-in? Technically, you don't own the car and have no equity in the vehicle. As for the best price on a 2010 Mazda6 i Touring Plus, the best deal varies somewhat depending on your geographic location. In the Southeast, a good deal with the Rear Spoiler is around $19,600 (sticker price of $25,075). On the ... Read More

I guess I don't really understand reviewers. The following is what I recall from my own research from all sorts of sources, so I can't provide a link.

Re: size standards [igozoomzoom]
While it is certainly in the eye of the beholder, but I would not call the current Mazda6 the best looking car in its class, but a long shot.

I own a Mazda3, my second Mazda, and I am generally a fan of Mazda vehicles, but 2009+ Mazda6 looks bad (IMO, of course). Previous gen Mazda6, ... Read More

Re: Is this Good price for 2009 Mazda 6 i GT? [lrota]
2009 was the only year that the Grand Touring was available with the 6-speed manual, so it's a rare find!

You probably know this already, but the Mazda6 i and Mazda3 s have share the same 2.5L 4-cylinder and 6-speed manual transmission. The fuel economy and acceleration is very similar for ... Read More

Mazda filter
My 2009 Mazda6 manual says to bring the car to the dealer for oil changes. It is the only item it stresses should be done by the dealer regarding the warranty. I guess there were too many problems with unqualified people or technicians using the wrong tool to open the filter cap, and breaking it causing a leak that later destroys the engine.

Re: Mazda sales,my experience [aspen8]

Re: Camry vs Accord sales-436000 vs 37200 in 2008 [aviboy97]
Yet Mazda6 sales are down about 49%, year to date. Yes, everything is down, but I would guess that is a greater than average decline, meaning a reduced market share for the new mazda6. Also these declines are from what were already, I believe, disappointing (to Mazda) sales numbers for the previous version. http://www.mazdausamedia.com/content/mazda-reports-february-2009-sales They just may find that this "me too-ism" does not work.

So far I am loving the car although I have to say that I am a bit intimidated reading the owner's manual as to all ... Read More

Re: 2009 Mazda 6 i Sport-Wayne Mazda [JGallo377]
from all my research the invoice on the 6i sport is 18729 +670 destination. Don't forget to add the "regional assessment" to that. Edmunds does not track the regional advertising fees because they differ from region to region. The regional assessment is charged to the dealer, and is not built in profit. Edmunds also explains that as well. Now would the S plan price be 2% lower that the invoice price ... Read More

Re: Delivery schedule [1stmzda]
Would you be able to provide any insight into when the next delivery of Mazda6's might take place? Job 1 is just finishing up production for the 09 Mazda6. Inventory is pretty heavy with the 09 Mazda6 because total 09 inventory was mainly ordered during Job1. Job 2 does not begin until after the new year. I had the opportunity to tour the AAI plant in Flat Rock, MI, where they ... Read More

Re: Say it isn't so! [akirby]
They modified the existing platform. CD3 is what Ford renamed it in reference to their "global" identity. I learned that the platform was not jointly developed, but, rather developed by Mazda alone. Ford was allowed to just use it and modify it. Ford essentially modified a complete Mazda6 and gave the world the Fusion. This saved Ford $10 billion. Yes, $10 billion. Since Ford uses this platform in several vehicles, Ford ... Read More

I purchased a 2009 Mazda6 i-touring three days ago. This morning I noticed a dark spot on the upper front bumper. Thought it was probably a leaf or piece of debris.

Re: Say it isn't so! [bpizzuti]
Mazda just joined the midsize class Where have you been? The Mazda6 has been around since 2002 as a MY2003. BTW, Ford used Mazda's GG/GY platform to develop the Fusion/Milan and Ford saved $10 billion by doing so (something I learned at my recent tour of the Mazda6 factory in Flat Rock, MI). Now that Mazda6 is all new for 2009, and the Fusion went under the knife, they are hardly ... Read More

Has Mazda improved their IPod integration kit since 2007? I would like to be able to integrate my IPod into a 2009 Mazda6 factory audio system. My girlfriend's CX-7 has the "IPod kit" and its crap. Does not allow you to go from song to song, makes you set up playlists to hear songs, etc. Ideally, I would like to display song info on the Navi screen. Is that possible? Is ... Read More

Re: 2009 Mazda6 Remote Engine Start [aviboy97]
One phone call to Mazda again last night, and suddenly the part no longer has a technical issue. I was told to "expect a call" for installation, but of course did not get one. I am sure there will be resolution tomorrow when I become one with the dealership. Thanks for the help.

Re: 2009 Mazda6 Remote Engine Start [aviboy97]
That is interesting information because I am in the North East, and they claim they have the parts. Calling Mazda gets no results because the best they can do is call the salesman to ask him what the problem is (after I tell them what the problem is). Also, the claim is that it is the push button start system is the issue and if I had a keyed system I ... Read More

Re: Lively safety info...offer more comparisons? [thegraduate]
The NHTSA has given the 2009 Mazda6 5-stars on all ratings, including the side-impact test. I do agree that IIHS testing results are different. The Accord proved safer in frontal impact load tests, although both the Mazda & Honda are 5-star rated. The 5-star Mazda6 proved safer in all side-impact tests, although interestingly, the numbers are very close to the 3-star rated Accord. Not sure why a 2-star deviance for such ... Read More

Re: 2009 Mazda 6i vs. 2009 Nissan Altima 2.5 [mz6greyghost]
Your point? My '04 Mazda6 has 72K miles with just about every option, and I've had ONE issue, a faulty gas cap, replaced under warranty. And handling IMO is just as good, since they're both FWD, while saving $$$$ with both the purchase and service/parts. The A6 is AWD, if thats what your talking about. Its almost IMPOSSIBLE to find an A6 in FWD, because with the FWD option you can't ... Read More

Re: 2009 Mazda 6i vs. 2009 Nissan Altima 2.5 [dm1212]
You just ruinned your argument about the Fusion and Mazda 6. Like the Fusion and Mazda 6, The Routan and Town and Country share the same chassis. The Caravan and Routan share a whole hell of a lot more then the Fusion and Mazda6. With the arrival of the 2010 Fusion and 2009 Mazda6, they are more like 3rd cousins twice removed....

Re: 2009 Mazda 6i vs. 2009 Nissan Altima 2.5 [dm1212]
They are not built in the same plant. The Fusion is built in Mexico!

Ford then bought into it so it could build some of their cars. They do not share the same suspension either. The 4 cyl is a Mazda engine and the V6 WAS, is ... Read More

Re: 2009 Mazda 6i vs. 2009 Nissan Altima 2.5 [dm1212]
Fusion is built in Hermosillo, Mexico (always has been). Mazda6 is built in FlatRock. 09 Fusion has a 3.0L and 3.5L V6. 09 Mazda6 has a 3.7L V6. So before YOU start talking smack YOU might want to look up your information. Then again I don't think you're much interested in facts.

Re: 2009 Mazda 6i vs. 2009 Nissan Altima 2.5 [dm1212]
The drive of the 1st gen Mazda6 was anything but American, and they were not almost the same car. Similar platform's do not equal same car. That is a common misconception. The Fusion is highly recommended by leading consumer publications as was the 1st gen Mazda6. According to many, including the site you are posting on (Edmunds.com) the 09 Mazda6 is a class leader, ahead of Altima, Camry and Accord. Not ... Read More

Re: 2009 Mazda 6i vs. 2009 Nissan Altima 2.5 [dm1212]
Ummm, you need to be corrected. The Mazda6 is not by any means a Fusion. The Fusion was loosely based on the 1st gen Mazda6 and though no longer in production the 1st gen Mazda6 is still considered the best handling, braking and steering vehicle in this class. The 2nd gen is a whole other story. The difference is night and day between the two of them.
