This is my 2nd Mazda. First was a 2011 Mazda 3GT hatchback ..its still going strong at 223K miles and has never has anything fail on it. Just routine maintenance...so I thought I'd buy the 6 sedan this time..so glad I did. I drive a lot for work and needed something good on gas as well as comfortable to drive. This car has some really cool features ( practically autonomous driving ) and handles well. I've had it since July '17 and just love it. The ability to play MP3s from a USB stick is just one of my favorite features. Drove it to SW Florida from NC and no issues at all and averaged about 33MPG ( I have a bit of a heavy foot as well ) Sport mode rocks and the radar / lane assist and HUD are nice features as well. Love it...no problems at all. Fit and finish was great...going to hang onto this one for a long time to come. -Update: Well unfortunately my 2017 Mazda 6 was totaled in an accident. The good news... I bought a 2020 Mazda 6 and now it has a turbo....interior is a bit different and even a bit more plush. Love my Mazdas ZoomZoom

Nov 2023 update: Nearly 80k and still solid. No suspension issues, have replaced front brakes for the second time, and still a great handling, quiet car. Infotainment is maddening, but I'll drive this car until the wheels fall off. No 7 year itch for this owner. At any price point, this is one of the purest sporty sedans on the market. My summary is based on one year of ownership and 11,000 miles. So far, I've spent all of $31.50 on an oil change. No warranty issues and 30 mpg city, 36 highway. This car has similar DNA to the Miata in that it may be a bit underpowered, but rewards smooth inputs and makes carrying speed through corners that much more rewarding. I truly have no complaints. If you're a gadget person, it has everything I think the normal person expects these days (I came from a 2003 car with no connectivity whatsoever) and the backup camera and audio are just fine. The six-speed manual is great and the clutch is pretty effortless. My only con comes from being a dog owner with a cloth interior. My trusty dog hasn't set a paw in the car but fur still makes into the weave of the fabric and is very difficult to get out. Bottom line- own a dog, get leather. The factory tires are a little meh, but I'll upgrade them when they wear out. They're not too shabby in rain or snow, but jackrabbit starts in inclement weather will quickly overpower the available traction. At first I thought I'd drive this for a few years and hand off to a kid when they head off to college in 6 years, but I think I'll be keeping this one. :) Jan 2019 Update: This car gets better with age. Tires are wearing well, mileage has stayed above 30, and everything's broken in nicely. I've looked at an Audi A5 and an Acura RDX since, but I also look at my tiny car payment, looming college bills, and solid handling and keep my wallet closed! Nov 2020 update: 40k miles and four years. Still no major issues and now that Audi stopped selling manuals, the Mazda 6 is in our stable til death do us part. Never had a warranty claim and my full costs to-date for routine maintenance is a whopping $250 bucks. New tires coming soon (OEM lasted >40k, but getting replaced soon) and my only cosmetic complaint is the leather on the bottom of the steering wheel not wearing as well as I think it should. If you're a cheapskate that still demands solid handling, I can't recommend this car enough. November 2021 update: 52,500 miles. New tires at 45k (Conti DSWs that crush the OEM, in my opinion), rear brakes at 45k and fronts at 52.5k. Everything holds up well but the infotainment screen has a mind of its own on occasion and changes the radio station or shifts to another screen. Other than tires/alignment, this car has yet to visit a mechanic and all-in maintenance costs to date are $1,500. I would strongly recommend this car in used form (now that they're discontinuing it) to anyone.

First time I have ever owned a Mazda and so far it has been a dream. The parchment interior is an eye-catcher and everyone that sees the car thinks it looks amazing. Driving it feels like you are totally in control and the paddle shifters and Sport mode add some fun. Mileage is ok but I was hoping for better. Bose sound system is spot on and overall I am very pleased with this car. Recently had a valet comment that he thought it was a Lexus! I have about 5k miles on it and no complaints. So three years later and about 75k miles and this car is holding up great. Solid 32 mpg overall and no big issues. Front rotors warped at about 30k miles. One big complaint I do have is the 19 inch wheels. Known problem of the clearcoat peeling off. Mine started at about the 2 year mark and no recall or warranty coverage. Honestly the one reason I may not buy another Mazda. It has been a great car but the manufacturer should stand behind defects like this. It will cost me close to 1k bucks to either have these wheels refinished or replace them.

My new 2017.5 Mazda 6 is a blast to drive

My new 2017.5 Mazda 6 Touring is a great car! The engine is smooth and responsive and the handling is down right amazing. The car feels like a sports car 1/2 it's size, but has a substantial plush feeling inside and out. The ride is firm, but compliant and the fit and finish is amazing. The styling inside and out will put some luxury cars to shame. I am very impressed and would highly recommend a Mazda 6.
