(Update) I've put about 7k miles on the car at this point and I stand by my review; the car out-classes its rivals at this price point and really does live up to the published comparison tests. I went on a weekend trip (about 300 miles) and averaged 41mpg highway @ 70. Under normal use I get around 30 combined highway/city. With the 17" rims the car rides just as nice as my 09 Accord did but it handles even better, with minimal body roll and good grip in the corners. The interior is pleasing to the touch with good materials and the switch gear offers positive feedback when used, the only sore spot for me are the sun visors which feel mysteriously cheap when compared to the rest of the interior (rarely used so no biggie). The Mazda's drivetrain offers good low-end grunt that my Accord desperately lacked (also a 4cyl/auto car) and its down-right snappy when you put it to task. The seats are comfy and you've got good visibility. Honda lost me on the new Accord because of the CVT transmission, but I did drive a Camry SE which felt decidedly cheaper inside and was not as athletic as the Mazda, I also found the Camry's engine a bit noisy. I'm 6'1" and the seat offers more than enough travel to get me where I need. Overall I really enjoy the car, not just because it's new (my Accord was also purchased new) but because it's a solid Jack of all trades car and it's hard to beat the price, so do yourself a favor and go check one out!

Hands down the best car in its class

In March of 2013 I purchased the new Kudo designed 2014 Touring with the added Technology package and I loved it. The car was a joy to drive, averaged 33.4 mph on mixed town/highway, looked great and had plenty of bells and whistles to keep me and my newly driving teenage daughters happy. A few months ago I began to receive offers from various Mazda dealers trade in my '14 for a '16 with some good monetary incentives. So, after doing some online research and talking with a local salesman I took the plunge and upgraded to a 2016 Grand Touring a few weeks ago. All I can say is wow! As impressed as I was with my older 6 this refined '16 model blows me away. While the Grand Touring definitely upgrades the amenities available what has impressed me the most is the improved overall drive quality. The steering is crisp and firm, the car seems to feel more solid on straightaways and curves while the overall noise level, something that was a bit of a negative before, has greatly improved. The acceleration, while nothing spectacular, is responsive and fluid throughout, but improves greatly with a flip of the Sport mode switch. The seats are also more comfortable while providing greater overall support and the entire interior presentation has been tightened to near perfection in both quality and ergonomics. The things that bothered me most about the interior before, the small 6" center touch screen, push button start location and air vent ranges have been all been improved. It is obvious that Mazda listened to their customers and dealerships and made a concerted effort to fix even these minor bugs. So, all in all I have to say I am thrilled with my decision to purchase the '16. Fuel economy thus far is a full mpg less than my last 6 at 32.4, but I attribute that to my fairly frequent use of the abovementioned Sport mode. Something I am more than comfortable with! Mazda has taken the gem of the class and made it better. I can’t recommend this vehicle enough!

Okay, I am a mom. A mom who loves to drive, can change a tire, and does not get her nails done. Not many automakers still a manual transmission in a sedan, but Mazda does. This was a huge selling point in the Mazda for me. I got the 6 over the 3 because the back seat is much roomier and the increase in size doesn't totally wreck the fuel economy. Granted, it is not the most powerful engine, but it is absolutely sufficient. It handles great and really is fun to drive. My only complaint is that to get the grand touring trim package, you lose the manual transmission. So, a touring it is.

Sit low to ground like sprts car. Great six speed manual. Fun to drive. Not a dog, just tuned cleverly for fuel economy. Torque max is 3,400 rpm, allowing great gas milage at normal rpm shifting, and mellow driving, unless you want, or need more, then, put your foot into it, and it will go. The best of both worlds. Window on rpm gauge lets you know which gear you're in, and when to up, or down shift. It will tell you to go from 6->3 going down a hill. But tough seeing down, and long, so have to swing out wide going around corners. Lovely styling. Understated performance, and drivability. Not a "Hey, look at me!" car, drive-wise. Simple, but functional. Likable.

I chose the Mazda6 after having driven a Camry for 12 years. While I have no specific complaints about the Camry, it wasn't exactly fun to drive and the styling was pretty much the definition of generic. Before looking at the Mazda6, I test drove the Toyota lineup (Camry, Corolla, and Prius), and just couldn't get too excited about them. After reading reviews on Edmunds.com and several other sites, I decided to take a look at the Mazda lineup. Both the 6 and the 3 met every criteria on my list; low cost, good performance, good mileage, and distinctive styling. I am very happy with the mileage numbers I have been getting, well above the published numbers so far. The styling of the Mazda6 is also very satisfying, it has a distinctive look that separates it from most of the other sedans on the road which all seem to have the same basic derivative designs.
