Lots to Like About Mazda 6
I have been driving, and thoroughly enjoying my Soul Red Metallic 2016 Mazda 6 I Touring. First of all the Soul Red paint is gorgeous and really emphasizes the very sporty sheet metal. The car looks great from any angle . The interior is very well done and the fit and finish is tight with every element blending together handsomely. The leatherette seats are quite comfortable and provide very good support and comfort. It took a while to get used to the Commander Control. After learning how to use the control knob and associated buttons I like the system except for tuning to radio stations. Contrary to most reviews I do not find that the P255/45 R19 tires give the Mazda 6 a harsh ride. And those tires have provided great grip and traction on both dry and wet pavement. Yes the pavement imperfections will be more noticeable than in a Camry, that is part of the driving experience that makes a Mazda a Mazda. The steering allows the driver to feel the road and helps to make for a satisfying driving experience. Even with the black interior, the A/C has been up to the task of quickly making the interior comfortable on the many 95+ degree days of this summer. I am very much pleased with this car. And six months later I still hold true to all of the above. I still find the Mazda 6 to be a fun car to drive and to date am very pleased with my decision to purchase this fun, sporty car.

Mine but not mine
I love everything about this car...except that it is my husbands daily driver instead of mine. It is the most beautiful car we have ever owned. The white with the light leather interior is stunning and classy. The car is super comfortable for all our long road trips. I know it seems too pretty to do it but we even take it camping and on dirt roads in the mountains. It puts up with everything we put it through like it was just a warm up for the next big event. Thank you to Mazda for making such a great car! We will be Mazda fans for years to come. Now it is a year later and the car is doing great. I was worried about the light colored interior holding up with all the outdoor activities but it isn't showing any signs of extra wear or discoloration. My husband still LOVES his car and I love my Mazda3 too!

Only 2 things keep this car from being epic.
1. The 6 desperately needs another engine option. - Performance is merely adequate. It pulls well from 3000 rpm to redline but below 3000 it just doesn't move well at all. Unfortunately the automatic transmission does it's best to keep it below that rpm when in standard mode. 2. Infotainment system needs Carplay/Android. - The built in navigation works ok but entering addresses is tedious. Integration with smart phones is expected in this era. Aside from those two things I can't say a thing bad about this car. I had a Mazdaspeed 3 for 9 years before this one (maybe why I'm so sensitive to the engine performance). I was looking for an auto transmission in my next car. The 6 transmission was the easiest for me to live with. Sport mode makes a big difference. Shifting is smooth and predictable and it seems to be in the right gear for the situation much better than any of the others I tried. The interior feels much more upscale than most of it's competitors. Mazda has managed to refrain from over use of exaggerated angles and weird lines. The layout and function of all of the controls is logical and works well. Road noise and ride comfort are much improved from my old car. Other cars in this segment might have a softer and quieter ride but they are boring and make an already tedious commute even less enjoyable. I am averaging 35mpg and have seen 40 (reported on the computer) when driving mostly highway. I would buy this car again... but I'd get the manual so I can keep it in the sweet rpm spot.

Back in a Mazda 6
I had a 2015 Mazda 6 and loved it. I get bored with cars fast and always go back to Mustangs. I traded the 2015 Mazda 6 Touring in for a 2016 Mustang GT. I love the Mustang GT, it was pretty much my dream car. I have a small family and after only a couple months missed the Mazda 6. 3 months after trading in the 2015 Mazda 6, I traded the Mustang in for a 2016 Mazda 6 (yes I took a big hit). I think the Mazda 6 is a great car and the only car I have ever missed after trading it in. The Mazda 6 is great value for what you get.

Number 3 will be my last!
Since my last review, I have had to bring the car back twice for the same warranted brake problem. I decided to sell the car, and found out that the resale value is so poor, that after paying off the loan, I cant even get out what they paid me for my trade. I am stuck. This is my third Mazda 6 in the last eleven years and it will be my last. The gas mileage has been a big disappointment, and no where near the advertised results. My previous five year old Mazda 6 with 66,000 miles on it, had better pickup than this 2016 with 5000 miles. The climate control is sub par, with no ability to circulate the outside air without A/C or heat. Changing the station on the radio has become a three step process.
