First off, I don't want a car everyone else has -- so that knocked off the fusion, accord, and altima (which are also terribly boring to look at or be in). After a 1,300 mile trip I can say a few things with certainty: The car does not drive as stiff as many reviews say, even with 19" wheels. I'd say if anything it's an average ride quality -- you do feel the road, but it's not like driving over a washboard gravel lane. It's not a luxury car, but in general, it feels like one more often than not (our last two cars were Acuras).
Very please with purchase

I have had two weeks with the 2016 Mazda 6 Grand Touring. I was also looking at the Kia Optima and Hyundai Sonata. Overall I'm extremely satisfied. The exterior and interior are both beautiful and I have had many compliments about the car. While it's not the quickest, the engine is responsive and smooth. It handles great and the steering is tight. I love the bells and whistles the car comes with including the electronic parking brake, blind spot warning, navigation, back up camera, etc. Here are some minor issues that I have with the car in my opinion. However, the good qualities of the car far exceed the negatives. 1.) A bit higher road noise than I'm used to. 2.) The sound system is a bit weak for my taste. 3.) I cannot get the text message feature to work with my iphone 6. 4.) The usb ports are not easily accessible as they are in the center counsel. I would like them in front of the shifter for easier access. I also find it difficult to place my phone by the shifter. 5.) It seems to me that there are a lot of wasted steps with the Infotainment system. 6.) The trunk seems a bit flimsy and I wish that it would open smoother. 7.) The front leg room is not the best. I am 6'0 tall and I have to bend my knee a bit to sit and press the accelerator.

I've owned a Mazda6 GT with Tech Package for around 2 months. Overall very happy with the vehicle. The interior is very well designed and feels like a luxury car without the pricetag. The exterior design is very sporty and I love the look. The 19inch wheels stand out and make an impression. As other reviewers have noted, the car really handles nicely, and I don't really mind having only a 2.5 L engine. Putting the thing in sport mode before entering the highway gives me all the power I need. I really love the Radar Cruise control for driving in stop-and-go traffic. I only wish it was full range (would fully come to a stop when the car in front of you does). It's not to bad, it turns off at around 15mph, which is pretty close to a full stop anyways - which trains you not to trust it too much and that's a good thing. I also think the road noise may be only slightly worse than other cars in the class, having tested quite a few. Not a deal breaker in any way. The Bose sound system is great and easily makes up for a little extra road noise. The mileage I get is OK (around 28), according to the computer but I think it may be better once I remember to calculate based on actual fill-ups. I do a lot of commuting in heavy traffic. Having the iEloop makes the car decelerate quite rapidly to recharge the capacitor, so I think with some practice I won't end up using the brake nearly as much which will increase brakepad lifespan (and MPG). I like the HUD display, but I admit it did take some getting used to, and they really should have had the option of completely closing the plexiglass viewer for those who don't like it. As I said, in the end I do like having it and being able to see navigation, speed, and radar status without taking your eyes off the road. One thing I do wish is that the car had android auto because the Mazda voice recognition is a little rough around the edges; but you can get used to it and get it to do what you want to. However, I've seen rumors on the internets that future updates may include support for it. I'll believe it when I see it, but am very hopeful. Overall I would say that i'm very happy with my purchase, and I really don't think you'll find a better value in this price range. I think a 9 to 9.5 out of 10 is about right for this vehicle. Fingers crossed for Android auto.

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!

I only have about a 1,000 miles on my Mazda 6, but so far I have loved driving every single one of those miles. Grand i Touring trim I got is a great alternative to a luxury sedan like BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, etc. for a fraction of the cost. The materials seems to be very much on par. There is a ton of gadgets that come standard. It's a joy to drive and I hope has a low cost of maintenance (my previous Mazda did), which really puts to shame BMW, Mercedes, etc. No regrets. Love the car. If I have one request, it's that Mazda think of the tall people and have more head room. That's about it.
