2015 Mazda 6 Touring

2015 Mazda 6 i Touring 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6M)

At the end of my VW CC lease, I chose the Mazda 6 Touring with the 6 speed manual. Chose the Mazda for the manual, and didnt want a mid size sedan with a CVT transmision. Well put together inside and out. Trunk is cavernous and rear seats have great leg room. I have had problems with the touch screen as Edmunds suggests. MPG has been about 28 in mixed city highway driving. It's also a beautiful car BTW with the Deep Crystal Blue exterior.

After over 9 years no repairs, no rattles. Just tires and brakes. Interior, control knobs etc holding up well and not showing wear. Still tight handling, fun car to drive. The car looks and drives small but is quite roomy. I needed a truck so traded it in. If you are buying a used car, a Mazda 6 is one to consider.

Wow! It's already been three years since I got my brand spanking new, right off the ship, 2015 Mazda 6 GT! In the past three years, the only issue I had was with the battery. My car has the technology package, it is equipped with the e-loop charging system, so we are not talking about the ordinary battery that you can acquire from any auto parts supply store. This specific battery costs $700!! It is pricey indeed! when the battery started giving warnings, the car was still running great but it was a matter of time before it would die on me. Although I had over 36,000 miles, Mazda replaced it free of charge!!! No other car manufacturer would do such a courtesy!!! And the battery came with 3 years warranty. I still get excited each time I get in the car!! -:) This is a type of vehicle that you would never get bored with. Mine has a "sport" mode too. Whenever I need a boost, for instance before crossing a street to get to to the other side, I push on the "sport" button right by the gear, and the car becomes a beast!!! It has so much more power on the "sport" but then, the gas mileage drops like a rock of course if I keep driving on "sport" mode. Get one, you will NEVER REGRET IT! I PROMISE! I bought my 2015 liquid silver Mazda 6 i grand touring with technology package the day before Christmas on December 23, 2014. I had to wait for it for over a month because they did not have it in stock and I wanted a brand spanking new Mazda which had not been test driven. So, as soon as the car arrived from Japan, I got a call from the dealer and I got my Baby! -:) Let me tell you: MAZDA 6 GT IS A FANTASTIC CAR!!! I got the top of the line model with all the bells and whistles. This car literally does everything (even the braking if you forget to hit the breaks!) except the driving part. I like all the safety feature and the cruise control with radar! January 22 2017: It's been about 3 years since I got my 2015 Mazda 6 GT with technology package and I am still loving it! This one time, active city break saved me an accident! I was in the garage of this one shopping mall, the car in front of was driving super slow looking for a parking spot most probably, I was right behind him. Since we were going really slow, I was checking my messages (which I should not have done!) and out of a sudden, the car stopped abruptly! I thought that I hit the car in front of me as I was so close to it! The car in front of me actually had come to a full stop and I did not realize that because I was checking my messages on my cell. Anyways, when I looked at the message board of my Mazda, it stated in orange letter that the city break was engaged. So, the tech package which I invested a little extra when I bought the car saved me a definite accident and thought me a good a lesson: PUT THE PHONE DOWN!! -:) Mazda 6 is truly an amazing vehicle! It's a big safe car with plenty of power, yet still gives me an amazing gas mileage. If you don't drive like a maniac and use the cruise control (with radar) on the highway, you will get an amazing gas mileage. 3/4 of my driving is on the highway, the speed limit is 70 miles an hour, I usually drive speed limit, sometimes I just go 5 miles over the speed limit and I get on average 33 miles a gallon! I fill up the tank once a week even though I have very long commute to work. Mazda really thought about every single detail when it built this car. Once, I had the car keys in my work bag and I decided to put my bag in the drunk so that it would be out of site on my way out. But I forgot that the car keys were in the bag! So, as soon as I put the bag in drunk and closed it, the car started beeping non-stop. Then, I quickly realized that I did have the car keys on me and the car still let me open the trunk, for which I was very thankful!! On both sides of the trunk, you have deep pockets where you can put a water bottle for instance and it won't bounce around. Those pockets are built of hard plastic so if let's say you place glass bottles full of liquid and those bottles break somehow, they wouldn't leak into the car. So, that's what I mean when I say Mazda thought about every single detail when it built this car. Everything is designed cleverly, these are just few things that I can think of. This is really AN INTELLIGENT CAR and it's a pleasure to drive it, especially on the highway!The only problem I had with the car was with the battery. Mine has a special battery since this car is equipped with e-loop system. A regular battery won't work on this car. Mazda was kind enough to replace the $700 battery absolutely free of charge and on the top of that gave me on the new battery 3 years warranty!! Try to get that from Ford and any other US manufacturer, it won't happen!!! In conclusion, I still HIGHLY RECOMMEND MAZDA 6 GT!! You really get THE BEST OF ALL WORLDS WITH THIS CAR for a very reasonable price, relatively speaking of course. I am planning to drive this car for at least another 7 years if not more!!!

Update- Jul 23. I just passed the 165k mile threshold. So I have put more than 100k miles on it since I purchased it used. I have had no major issues with it. My only issue is that like many direct injected vehicles, I do believe I'm getting some carbon build-up. I have had this car for a few years no. As I have gotten used to it, I must admit sometimes I do get tired of 'rowing' my own gears, for it is a manual transmission. So I now avoid rush hour, when I can. But on the open road, I love to shift. However, when I have jumped in the other car, which is a smooth riding, smooth cruising Sonata, in less, than 48 hours, I'm complaining to myself that this is 'boring'. So I hop back into the Mazda 6 and the grin comes back over my face. Accuracy- The Mazda 6 is slightly smaller than the Sonata, with more precise steering. So I feel like I have gotten into a go cart when I drive the Mazda and the steering takes me exactly where I am pointing it. Fuel Economy-With mixed driving I get about 29 mpg on the Sonata, with the Mazda I get more like 33 mpg consistently. As for highway traveling, the Hyundai gets me about 33 mpg and the Mazda gets me about 38. However, when I do a long highway trip and kept my speed around 65 mpg, I achieved almost 45 mpg in the Mazda. Just below 70 mph cruising, the car can easily do 40 mpg. That is almost hybrid car territory. Maintenance-In putting 16,000 miles on the car, I've spent about $1927.28 on maintenance. It is not because things have broken down. But since I purchased the car used, I wanted all fluids and maintenance as new. Meaning I replaced the coolant, the transaxle fluid, the brake fluid, air and cabin filters, turned the front rotors and put new pads on it. I also replaced the tires and tinted the windows. None of these things had to be done, quite yet. But I wanted to have piece of mind and I am now happy. The only thing left to do is add a new android head unit to replace the standard stereo. Compared to my 2004 Infiniti G35 that this car replaced. Well, it doesn't have the power and punch of that Infiniti, but it does handle a little better and it is more tossable. Also the Infiniti cost me more than $5451.30 in maintenance that was NOT pre-emptive, but because things kept breaking. The Toyotas and Hondas that I've owned have been the most long lasting. Whether this Mazda or the Hyundai will last as long is yet to be seen. But I've been pleased with the practical maintenance cost on both. The Sonata has only had $1171.96 in maintenance cost at 74K, so I'm happy with it too. I've spent about $3,500 on maintenance for the Mazda 6

Fun to drive even though it's only a 4 cylinder. At times I still miss having a V6 but the Mazda 6 is better than most other 4 cylinder cars. Great gas mileage. Averaged 32.8 miles per gallon on round trip from WA to Cali via Highway 97. Had 3k miles at the time. Nice look, love the Soul Red & Sand Leatherette. At higher speeds, it accelerates very well. Seemed kinda slow/stiff to get it moving on speeds lower than 35mph. But since I've gotten over 9,000 miles on it in 6 months, it has better acceleration on the lower gears and the sound is not so rough on the lower gears. Like it ironed out any rough patches after a few thousand miles.
