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!

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.

I love variety so I lease vehicles. I've owned multiple brands the last two being lexus. I liked the quality of the lexus interiors and quiet ride. I was looking for a replacement for my expiring lease and a new mazda 6 ad caught my eye. I live in a populated area and had never even noticed a newer 6 because there are few out there compared to other major brands. That along with incredible lease prices compared to lexus or toyota with comparable features. I opted for the Touring non turbo. Ride quality is better, and quieter even with 19 in rims compared to my lexus es with 17s. Interior quality is top notch. I'm 37 and this feels very light and snappy with class. Plenty of exterior colors though only two interior colors, white or black. My mazda 6 window sticker says 100% made in Japan. I was shocked, and pleasantly surprised. My car did not come with nav, though I ordered a mazda USB on amazon for $100 bucks. That option is thousands on a lexus. I wish more options were open on the non turbo. I would've liked heated outside mirrors, the Bose stereo, auto dimming mirrors, and power passengers seat. I've had it for 7 month's so far 6500 miles. Only annoyance is getting in. I'm 6'2 and while getting in my back hits the B pillar. The surrounding door gasket is black rubber and though quality material kinda grips my clothes as well. I'm 180 lbs. Sport mode is pointless. I get compliments on the car all the time. If the Hcci engine makes it to the 6 that would be my next lease.

From a 2017 Ford Edge to a 2018 Mazda 6

I totaled my ford edge and while its capabilities for an accident were amazing I couldn't get myself to purchase another after the accident. I chose a Mazda 6 touring for many reasons mainly because I have the same trunk space as my ford edge and the interior room is almost the same (the distance from front to back seat was the only difference). All newer cars have a sluggish response when comparing it to old school push the throttle and go cars. I have had the 2017 edge, a 2014 dodge dart both of which are worse in the speed in which they shift. The only thing that I lost moving from the edge to the 6 is a little leg room in the back seat and awd. Things I gained were sunroof, leather seats, heated seats, dual climate control, active cruise control, lane departure assist, and apple car play. The 2.0l twin turbo in the edge has far less get up and go than the mazda 6. The only thing I have been able to find that I dislike with the mazda is that the radar for active cruise control picks up vehicles in lanes other than what I am traveling in when maneuvering around corners. Things I recommend are the bumper to bumper warranty extension since everything contains electronics.
