2018 Mazda 6 Sport 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
14 of 16 people found this review helpful
I leased the base Sport automatic because the numbers were unbeatable, and I knew I'd enjoy driving it because it's a Mazda. What I didn't know is that I would fall in love with this car! The upper trim levels would have given me a few more goodies, but this car has everything I really want or need in a vehicle. Performance is amazing. I read that "it needs more horsepower," but mine has outstanding acceleration. Cornering is flat and dead neutral, emergency responsiveness (a MUST in Florida traffic) is flawless. Braking is more than up to any situation. Seats are comfortable, but shaped for aggressive cornering. Overall fuel economy average is 32, but daily work commute (40 miles round-trip) is 36-38: amazing! To sum it up: you could spend $16,000-$18,000 more for an comparably-equipped Japanese or European "luxury sports sedan," but all you're really getting for that kind of money is a VERY expensive hood ornament. If you don't look at a Mazda6, you're doing yourself a big disservice.
Love this car!

I've had the Mazda6 (Grand Touring Reserve) for 2 weeks so far. Great engine! Plenty of torque! Excellent on the highway with very little road noise. Very comfortable seats. Interior is very upscale - on par with German luxury sedans. It has Apple CarPlay! Works great! I love seeing Waze on the large screen. Took me a few days to get used to the lower control knob, but I am now a fan! Sound with the Bose system is awesome! Now addicted to the heads-up display. Also love the auto high-beam headlights. Great viability. Overall very satisfied!

I have had my 2018 Mazda 6 Touring for about 2 weeks now. One of the first things that drew me to this car was the look of it. It is an eye-catcher! Even before I bought this car, I would turn my head when i would see one on the road. My car has the Soul Red Crystal Metallic exterior color. I have never seen another car-make that has a red coloring quite like the Mazda. It is absolutely gorgeous! After leasing a 2016 Chevy Malibu LT, I decided to purchase a 2018 Mazda 6 Touring. There are some features of the Malibu that I lost, but I gained much more with the Mazda 6. The Malibu is a much more connected car than the Mazda, with OnStar, Wifi hotspot, and the ability to have remote-start using a Smartphone and/or key fob. I do have remote-start with my Mazda 6, but only on the key fob. The Malibu also has better interior lighting than the Mazda 6. Aside from those minor shortcomings, the Mazda 6 far outshines the Malibu when it comes to features in relation to equivalent models (I think the Malibu LT is equivalent to the Mazda 6 Touring). With my Mazda 6, I gained Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind-spot and cross-traffic alert, Lane Keep Assist, Rain-sensing wipers, Automatic high-beam lights, Advanced Breaking System, Sun Roof, Leatherette Interior, and much more. You get a lot of car for the money, and the styling is close to higher-end cars such as BMW, Audi, Lexus, or Infinity. It handles incredibly well and has a very smooth ride. I do not have the turbo engine in my Mazda 6, so I will say that acceleration isn't as quick as I have had with a 2005 Mazda 6 that I had years ago. Both models incorporated a 2.5 liter four-cylinder engine, but I think the 2018 Mazda 6 is a heavier car than the 2005, which may account for the slower acceleration. The Infotainment system works well, although it takes some getting used to. You cannot use the touch-screen while driving, which was not the case with the Malibu. Instead, Mazda incorporates a physical knob/joystick control that can be used when the touch-screen is disabled. It works very well and I find myself using it most of the time, even when the touch-screen is active. I do wish that the Infotainment system provided a voice pass-through button to call-up Google on my phone. I had this on the Malibu too. However, I can get around it by calling out "OK Google" and my phone will accept Google requests over Bluetooth that way. It doesn't always work correctly though. Regular factory voice-commands work very well and seem much more robust than the Malibu factory voice-commands. The sound system is pretty good too, even without the Bose audio system that is available in higher trim models. Overall, the car is great and really fun to drive. I would highly recommend it!

2018 Mazda 6 Touring 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6A)

I had been shopping for a new sedan or wagon for a couple of years. i have owned a few Subaru's but could not find a newer model with comfortable seats. I test drove the Mazda 6 in previous years but they were pretty noisy. In 2018 they finally refined it with less road noise and very comfortable front seats. I bought the 2018 Touring model. I believe it is one of the most beautiful cars you can buy. It has great driving dynamics with excellent gas mileage. I have gotten as high a 40 mpg on a road trip and always get at least 30 around town. The Mazda is a great value, fun car to drive at a fraction of the cost of an Audi or BMW.

This car is luxury without the price. The interior is gorgeous and the exterior will turn heads too. The Reserve trim gives you everything you need. Note the head up display is projected onto the front windshield (plastic is gone) along with all the driver safety aids and traffic sign recognition. Ride is typical Mazda and with the g-vectoring system turns are a blast. Just came back from a trip to Oklahoma and Texas and this car is so comfortable, seats ride well and adaptive cruise makes it easy to handle. I got between 33 and 34 mpg on the trip and my city driving is giving me 26 mpg. Full disclosure, my city/suburban driving is not a lot of stop and go and most outside of subdivisions is being done at minimum 40 mph speed limits. I've had the car for about 6 weeks and I just love it, Gray mettalic with Parchment Interior is really sharp. This is my second Mazda 6, traded in a 2016 Grand Touring which was a great car. Interior refinement like the horizontal look of the instrument panel, the digital gauge(the right gauge in the Reserve is digital), the seats the soft panels and overall quality is so much nicer. Plus the noise level is down. Love the Android auto feature. You owe it to yourself to test drive this car, don't just follow the crowd, spread YOUR wings, look at the Mazda 6, it is in my opinion a great car.
