Smooth, sophisticated, sports sedan-like

2018 Mazda 6 Grand Touring 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
4 of 4 people found this review helpful
Owned a 2011 mazda6 before this and I loved it so decided to get another Mazda6 and I do not regret it. This car is everything that car was, except better, in every single way. Adequate acceleration with the base engine but I opted to get the much faster and satisfying 2.5l turbo. Elegant, straightforward interior with high quality materials. Infotainment system is sometimes slow to boot and android auto has some bugs but it's not a deal breaker like a lot of youtube reviews describe. Dealership was charging around $400 to upgrade to wireless android auto/apple car play which I thought was ridiculous. Backup camera isn't as bad as youtubers describe either, although I've noticed that wiping it clean before a drive when it's raining is sometimes necessary. Phenomenal handling, however the OEM tires could be grippier. Falls short of true sports sedan experience but this doesn't bother me. They feel balanced between sporty handling and a serene sedan driving experience. One complaint I have is that I wish the power seats had one more adjustment to raise the thigh support, or, to lower the seating position just a tad. But I'm a big guy at 6'1" at around 230lb. Plenty of legroom. Worth noting that there is no single seating position in this car that is uncomfortable for me. That's how comfortable I feel in this car. I can adjust the seat as close as possible to the steering wheel and Im still comfy. I couldn't say that about the numerous other cars I test drove. I feel grateful to be driving such a beautiful, practical, yet fun car. This car was purchased as a "certified pre-owned", but I'd feel confident buying it pre-owned also.

I have to agree with a Car & Driver review that said the performance, handling and interior were more BMW and Audi than Asian import. I don't drive fast but the turbo engine makes maneuvering easy. The Mazda6 is a joy to drive. And a lot of standard active safety electronics.

Pretty nice but not exceptionally sporty

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

I had the opportunity to put nearly 1000 miles on a dealer loaner 2018 Mazda6 Grand Touring while my Mazda3 was in for service, so consider this my review of an extended test drive through a variety of conditions. Compared to the 3, or even older generations of the 6, the new 6 is heavier and the handling is not quite as sharp. Some of that may be due to the Falken tires Mazda uses, which are actually SUV tires. If I owned this car, I'd definitely swap for different rubber, which would probably improve the ride as well. The new turbo 2.5L borrowed from the CX-9 provides great low end torque and acceleration, but runs out of steam at higher revs, and doesn't feel like a particularly sporty engine. Inside and out, the car is stylish and nicely equipped. The Grand Touring trim on the 6 is actually the mid level trim, unlike the 3 where it is the top level. However, I think it hits the sweet spot - you get the turbo engine, LED lights, moonroof, navigation, Bose stereo, and a whole lot more, but save thousands compared to higher trims. I averaged 27MPG which seems about right for a car in this class.

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

I've owned alot of cars - Toyotas, Hondas, and 3 previous Mazdas. I love cars - love to drive. The Mazda 6 is beautiful, comfortable, fun to drive, has very responsive acceleration, and gets over 30 miles per gallon combined. The technology is great. Best of all - we've done regular oil changes and a set of tires - never once had any problems with it. I highly recommend it.

2018 Mazda 6 Sport 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6M)

I just purchased a 2018 Mazda 6 base model with only 22k miles. Highway fuel economy borders on obscene, you can easily get above 40 mpg on a road trip. Ride quality and steering are very smooth, reminds me more of older mid sized American cars than the Camry's I've owned or otherwise driven. The trunk is average height but very deep and nearly a 1.5 feet height worth of storage continues with rear seats down. Acceleration is adequate but this car feels surprisingly subdued and comfortable. Perfect for how I drive but others might expect more 'zoom zoom'. Interior feels very high quality. Tech is user friendly. I would note that XM appears grayed out on the menu but is actually only available on the top trim level without having to add an XM radio. I've found the driver aids helpful but not too sensitive.
