2018 Mazda 6 Signature 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
10 of 10 people found this review helpful
I traded a 2010 6 GT that I put 187,000 trouble free miles on. No major repairs, just oil, tires and brakes. It was a great car. Loved the V6, so I was skeptical about the 4 cylinder even with a turbo. I was wrong to be skeptical. Fit and finish are far above my 2010. Mazda has moved this sedan into the entry luxury level or even higher in the Signature trim. I look forward to driving to work every day.

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

Know this most recent iteration of the Mazda 6 is that of a mature car. The turbo is mild and sounds integrated into the engine's narrative. If you are looking for a comfortable vehicle, a relevant car and driver daily experience then the Mazda 6 is your car. I really like this version. It's a looker inside out. Its capable transportation and a formidable force of nature on the road. If you have ever seen video of a dolphin in the open sea, slicing through the water and changing directions just above the surface then that observation captures the handling qualities of the Mazda 6 when you have somewhere to go post haste. When driving in the slipstream of traffic this car slices through its environment with confidence and purpose, easily handling the abrupt and lazy esses on the road. When it comes to the transmissions response everything is within range, never does it seem strained and out of breath. Mazda styling is a decidedly conservative suite that has a heart beat. I can't say enough about this outstanding effort Mazda has brought to market. However, there is room for improvement. The iPad like screen will occasionally go black. I can hear the audio but I can't see anything to change my selection. Apple car play is not as intuitive, as the Mazda system mainly because I am more familiar with the Mazda system than Apple Car Play. Car Play works but I have to think about where I am going next, this is not a complaint just takes getting used to. The tires are a compromise. They are the same tires used on a SUV. The error on the side of a quiet smooth ride. If you really get into it, the Falken tires are playing catch up to the suspension system. This is not a bad thing, when it comes to getting new tires you can put on a set of Michelins and see what more is baked into the suspension's geometry. My one complaint is the feeling of the air conditioning. In the front seat the air cools where the vents point. It takes a while on a hot summer day to cool the car. The air conditioner is working but it's ability to cool the car's climate is not as powerful as it sounds. Often the result, it cools spots in the cabin but is slow to cool the cabin. Overall the car is informative and manages to not be a distraction from the road, except getting used to Apple Car Play. If you can find a solid dealership that will take good care of you, this car is a keeper and it will keep for a long time to come if that is your thing.

My third Mazda 6

2018 Mazda 6 Grand Touring Reserve 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
25 of 28 people found this review helpful
I my first Mazda 6 Touring sedan in late 2014 (2015 model) and within 2 years graduated into a Gran Touring. Simply loved the car and could not wait until the new 2018's were introduced so I could get into a car with a little more luxury and the turbo engine. Boy was I pleasantly surprised on all fronts! The Reserve is definitely a notch above the GT and the newly added features of the Reserve make this a great value. The turbo is simply icing on the cake because it is quick as well as being fuel efficient. I have had the car for 8 weeks and took a trip into Door County Wisconsin from my home in Chicago and got just over 30 mpg. This car is also noticeably quieter than the GT I had before. The Mazda 6 Reserve really makes you wonder why you would spend $50K+ on a luxury automobile when you can spend far less on a Mazda 6 Reserve (or Signature) and get so much value. This car is simply awesome.

2018 Mazda 6 Signature 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
8 of 8 people found this review helpful
I have owned my Mazda 6 Signature for 12k miles now. I am very pleased with it. I'm an older motor head that is coming full circle. There was a day when all that mattered to me was performance and handling. Now I want my luxury and still some performance and handling. I drove several Mazda 6's before they added to turbo to the line up and they were IMO boring. At the same time I was worried this new model would have the turbo stuffed in and just be a handling and traction mess. I was completely wrong. Mazda updated so much of the chassis design suspension computer programming etc that this car handles great. They added a ton of NVH materials underneath and the interior is a 8 out of 10. The only reason it is not a 10 out of 10 is I feel the display screen and function is outdated and clunky. This midsize sedan I would put at entry level luxury. heated/cooled seats front and back. Leather and real wood doors and dash. Curve adaptive LED headlights, adaptive cruise control, 360 camera and more. I could not find another midsize sedan with the features this car had for under $46k. Mazda also did something else I love. You can use regular unleaded and get about 225hp and 310ftlbs of torque or premium and get 250hp and pretty much the same torque. Frankly I find it just great at regular unleaded. The car is set up for low RPM power and feels like it has a ton of power in the normal driving range. If you feel the need to constantly shut off traction control, throw it in manual and use the paddle shifters (yep, it has paddle shifters), and run it up to redline then by all means throw in super unleaded and enjoy the 25 extra ponies. My only complaint on the power/traction is if you mash on it off the line you will spin the tires but that is the trade off you make for a low RPM high torque design and I feel like Mazda could not have tuned this any better. One thing I love about this car that Mazda did, unlike most cars in this class (Honda, Toyota, Kia, some Fords) is that if you push the handling of this car the computer assist is incredible. Most other cars will immediately kill the fuel as soon as the computer registers any tire slip, either off the line or high speed turns. The Mazda 6 does not. It feels like it dials back the power slowly just enough to regain traction without ruining the feel. For what this car is intended to be I have a hard time finding cons to it. as I mentioned earlier I feel the display is dated. It does not seem to be updated from 2-3 years ago. That being said, the updates Mazda made to the luxury and drive experience are spot on and impressive.
