Quiet, smooth riding car if you just ask

I am hearing impaired and need a quiet car. Many of the reviews on the Touring and Grand Touring models complain about a rough loud ride. I have found that most dealers are willing to swap out the 19 inch wheels for the 17 inch wheels for about $100 - (it should be free). You just have to ask. This tradeoff of performance for a quieter smoother ride is worth it. Once you take care of the noise, the car a great cruiser.

after only 35 months i had to get rid of the vehicle due to poor dealer support and mounting mechanical issues. driver seat bracket was starting to fail, dealer claims this is wear and tear and would not be covered under warranty. with 12,000 miles on odometer clutch was near failure. driver door seal had to be replaced 3 times. also not covered under warranty. and various other issues dealer refused to adress. but notably the fuel mileage never seemed to match what was on the sticker. always well below EPA estimates. i even went so far as to remove the spare tire and all dead weight using premium gasoline. i simply could not get the rated fuel mileage.

A+; luxury car comfort, sports car feel [Update]

Update: Still great. No issues at all; no surprises. Very happy with my purchase, 3.5 years and 45K+ miles later. This car has surpassed all expectations. It is sleek and stylish; I get compliments from strangers. It is the most smooth-driving and responsive family car I've ever driven, by far. Hands down better than my wife's Camry which I drove for years, and the newer Camry's I test drove recently. It's also comfortable and convenient. Lots of leg room for passengers. The trunk is massive and uniformly shaped, with back seats that fold down almost flat (unlike the Accord's which don't fold down at all). Awesome gas mileage, despite the sportiness. Sports mode, which I usually think of as a gimmick, is actually really impressive and gives it even more kick.

One of the best cars I've owned. Great styling in and out. Quality interior materials. Fantastic mileage, getting high 20's in the city and high 30's on the highway on regular gas. Great handling for a midsize car, plenty of power for highway passing. Only cons, somewhat stiff ride, 19 inch low riding tires are overkill and contribute to stiff ride. A little slow from a dead stop, but after all it is a four-cylinder. Some vibration noise from engine on acceleration but tolerable. No temperature gage, and no compass. I got the car loaded and love all the extras. Great safety with blind spot and rear back up signals. I love the tracking headlights for going through corners at night. I feel like I am driving a much more expensive car than what I paid for it. I look forward to driving it every day! No problems so far; only two updates on software, one on tire sensor monitor and the other on Blue Tooth. I traded a 2006 VW Passat for this. What a difference. I will never buy a VW again; nothing but problems what a piece of junk. VW customer service stinks! After three years of ownership, excellent car, excellent reliability. Only complaints hard ride and a bit underpowered. Great handling and excellent mileage. Recently replaced original Dunlop tires with Continental Extreme Contact DWS. Excellent tire over Dunlop, better ride, better handling, and better traction, especially in snow. Put the same tires on my wife's Hyundai; incredible improvement over original Nexen tires. 2018 Mazda 6 is available with Turbo, big difference in power!

Best car I've owned so far!

One year of ownership and I'm still loving this car. Saves gas and looks great. Everyone at work still compliments the car and is surprised it's a Mazda. I have my 6 in Soul Red (Touring with Tech Package) and it's a beauty to look at night and especially in the day when the sun is shining on it. It has a custom metallic red look to it when viewing at different angles. Handling is tight, direct, and responds right away compared to a Honda or Toyota. I don't like it when the steering feels loose. Step on the gas all the way down and the transmission responds very quickly. Acceleration is not that fast like a v6 (compared to my 05 g35 coupe) but is good enough for me to get on the freeway. There's some wind noise when on the freeway but turning up the radio makes it less noticeable. Interior is very nice and looks better than some luxury cars. It is roomy and has lots of soft touch materials. Doesn't look cheap and plasticky like the competitors. The layout of the interior is just right. Not a lot of small buttons cluttering the interior. Everything is placed right where it should be. Radio is okay just wished it had a 7" touchscreen like the CX-5 but everything seems to work fine. Bose audio system is not that loud. Voice activated commands are a neat feature but I've never used it so can't really comment on it. Seats are very comfortable. I don't have any discomfort on my commute especially while sitting in a traffic jam. Hopefully Mazda will come out with a Speed6 or or turbocharged 4cylinder in the future. I know my next car will be a Mazda again but for now I'm keeping this car for a long time. Pros: blind spot monitoring handling 19" wheels rearview camera with rear cross traffic alert bluetooth mpg armrest extends Cons: Radio is too small wind noise Bose audio system instrument/gauge colors is white. Looks too plain. Wished it had some more colors to it similar to an Infiniti or Acura. hp (A few more hp and this car will be even more fun to drive) Update 2018 : Car still runs great. Still getting compliments from people. Had rear brake recall done from dealership. Steering wheel leather is getting worned out. Going to re-wrap it sometime in the future. Maybe uggrade to a 2018 Mazda 6 turbo when car is paid off. Still deciding because I want to keep this car around till 200k miles.
