2014 Mazda 6 i Touring 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
6 of 6 people found this review helpful

I just recently got my new Mazda 6, took my dealer over a month to find the one I wanted but it was worth the wait! The handling is great and responsive, takes corners with ease and minimal body roll. The seats are soft yet very supportive and very comfortable. I went with the 6 because of its aggressive and stylish design, and also the great fuel economy. I drive a 100 miles a day for work and needed to get good MPG. Above and beyond my expectations so far, getting 37 MPG average!! Also a lot of interior room, I'm 6ft and have more than enough room. I don't even have to move my seat for my 6'3" friend to sit behind me with plenty of leg room to spare. And also awesome value!

How a Family Sedan Should Be

Impressive performance, good looks, reliable, great fuel economy not to mention value priced and extremely fun to drive. I almost don't have to say more. This is such a great car. My 4th Mazda and I keep coming back! I've had the car for just over a month, but my job keeps me on the road with about 3,300 miles on the odometer. My commute requires some light traffic, rolling San Diego hills and speeds of about 75-80 and am consistently seeing 34 mpg having fun passing cars along the way. It's comfortable, has a great interior and the engine and transmission combo is oh so smooth... Hands down, you will not find an overall better value in this segment. Hesitating to buy? Do it!

Comprehensive Comparison - Mazda6 Won the Game

In February of 2014 when my husband and I were searching for a new vehicle to replace our 2y/o Nissan Rogue that was a maintenance nightmare before the warranty ran out, we decided that we were going to get a 4dr sedan. There were three vehicles in contention: Ford Fusion, Honda Accord, and the Mazda6. We talked about what we wanted in a vehicle and crunched the numbers - yes, actual on paper numbers... ratios. This determined the comparison order for us. 1. Mazda, 2. Ford, 3. Honda (we already own an Accord coupe and knew it was a strong contender). So, we went to each local dealership to do the test drive of each vehicle's model packages from the most basic to fully loaded including both transmissions - manual and automatic. Since I was the most experienced driver and knowledgeable when it comes to cars including home garage vehicle maintenance, diagnostics, and repairs, my husband and I agreed that I would do the test drives. First, the Mazda: I was very impressed with the iTouring and Grand Touring from the first impression. I got in the driver's seat of the iTouring Manual with my husband in the passenger seat and the salesman in the back seat and carefully drove us to an empty 1/4 mile road and came to a complete stop. I got to 60mph in 2nd gear without redlining all the while terrifying the salesman and entertaining my husband. Then, I took a few corners at 30mph accelerating out of the curve which the car handled quite easily. Next came the Grand Touring which only came in an automatic. I liked the creature comforts like the impressive Bose sound system. However, the automatic was sluggish and disappointing. So, the iTouring was the clear winner. Onto the Ford Fusion... this was a very short test drive. I test drove each model and was disappointed with each one. There was so much road noise, steering wheel feedback, and crappy braking. I was a bit surprised with the result considering the ratios that we had on the Fusion suggested that it would be a great performer. Nope. Onto the Honda Accord... we started out with the mid-range package that was comparable to the iTouring Mazda6. The Accord was a great performer but didn't handle cornering quite as well as the Mazda. I even tried the fully loaded V6 which had a lot of power but was actually turned off by all of in cab technology. I couldn't help but harken back to when I was 7 y/o handing tools to my father as he was switching out a water pump, "Always go for the simple design. It's the least likely to fail." As a mechanical engineer, he knew what he was talking about. So, the iTouring Mazda6 won because it did what I wanted when I wanted it and didn't distract me and had just enough creature comforts to make me happy. Fast forward to now... it's 2018, and the Mazda6 handles just as perfectly as it did from day one of ownership. The only issue we have run into was the Bluetooth system failed and had to be replaced under warranty in 2016. I'll be taking it in for it's first brake job soon. Houston driving conditions can be brutal on a car; however, we've been impressed with how well our Mazda6 has held up. We'll be replacing our Honda Accord Coupe next year. My husband wants to get the Mazda3 automatic with the 2.5 engine that's in the Mazda6. He commutes. The tight clutch can be exhausting in stop-and-go traffic. ******************** UPDATE! We still own our Mazda6, and it continues to run like new. The only repair that surprised up was the Bluetooth/Radio module went bad while still under warranty. We had it replaced at no charge or ridiculous questions (unlike some automakers). It's great having a manual transmission. It's almost like an additional security feature considering so few know how handle a manual. We're almost done paying the note. I know that my hubby wants a truck as do I; however, we commute. So, we might be getting another Mazda

Although my search didn't start with the Mazda6, it ended there. Very impressive vehicle especially at this price point. Loaded with features, drives VERY well, comfortable and especially in Soul Red, very good looking. I am a previous Mazda owner so I felt right in home in this car. The driving position and touch points make it feel like you are driving something other than a mid-priced sedan with a mere 4 cylinder engine.
