this is the third mazda i have owned ('96 protege, '03 6s) and i have loved all three of them. the new 6 adds some beef under the hood, and some very nifty tech features. the car is truly fun to drive and beats any comp in the class handily. i previously didnt think much of the new 6 as i have always been a fan of the older body style. but when i got in and drove it, i fell in love! before i bought my 6, i looked at the g35, a4, c280, and some others, but you just cant beat the value in a mazda. i got more room, more features, more/same warranty; basically, a brand new luxury/sports car for the price of a used luxury car. mazda loyalty programs added to the bottom line, also.

I wrote my first review shortly after I got this car in late November, 2010 (see posting below: "Great car if you like large"). Anyway, this is still functioning as a great car for me. It still seems too large, but I cannot complain about much at all. It's got almost 30K miles and the only trips to dealer service have been for tire/wheel rotations; I do my own oil change-really easy to do on this car. I love the car for long road trips; it's quiet, has power (not a lot extra, but certainly enough), and is really comfortable.

I just traded my 08' Avalanche in for something that had better gas mileage (14.7 avg) .I stumbled across a 2010 M6 with one owner and had 66k on the clock. I have to say the first time i drove it i was impressed. I am 6'3 and also have always considered myself a "Spirited Driver" this thing really moves. I had an 03 Nissan Altima 3.5 and the M6 hands down would flat out smoke it. The ride is a bit firm but i like feeling of being connected to the car. Long drives are now fun again. I am finding new places to go now with the improved gas mileage (23.5) and love the ability to switch gears in Manual mode (6 gears to choose from). Torque steer was a killer on the Nissan but Mazda somehow makes this non-exsistent. There is never a time where i feel i am pushing the car hard,it seems to accommodate any driving mood you are in. It can get groceries and in the same breath can take windy roads with athletic agility. I really enjoy the M6 and was priced much lower than most cars but outruns them all. If you can get the V6, snatch it up! UPDATE 6/24/20 Still rolling as noted above. I have upgraded the brakes, tires and had spark plugs changed at 75k. She still performs well and fun to drive, no complaints

I have been very dissatisfied so far with the 2010 Mazda 6. I have the Manual sport edition. My major complaint is the throttle lag. My 1998 Corolla with 160K miles had better acceleration. Other complaints, the car shudders when reversing, the hand brake doesn't work well, the temperature control is not great and the car bottoms out very easily, I have to go extremely slowly over speed bumps. I highly recommend taking for an extended test drive before purchasing

This is my first time owning any mazda and for the most part I can say it is OK. I own the Touring Plus model with a few extra features. First thing I must say is the car is very slow and the 4 cyl seems lousy and sluggish. It is a very loud engine for not being that fast... The extorior styling is beautiful. I love the trunk, even though fitting some larger boxes through the small opening can be difficult. Since the day I owned the car, the radio has been very staticy and even when close to local radio stations. Tried to take it back and get repaired and they said it was fine, which it is not. Heritage Mazda of Towson has bad service and is pretty expenisve. Prefer the Camry SE over this...
