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

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

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.

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.

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.

Researched and drove lots of cars. Mazda6, Acura ILX, Nissan Maxima, Ford Fusion, Kia Optima, and Toyota Camry. All were nice, but once I drove the Mazda6....I was in love. Interior and features fabulous. Seats so comfortable. The drive absolutely divine. Got the grand touring to get the pick and go-go-go that comes with the v6. Handles like a dream and the most fun I have had in a car in a long time. (Had SUV for years) With all my research, trust me I was almost manic about it and reading reviews, I am confident in my Mazda. Best interior, handling, features, and technology for the best price (under 30k) for a 2019 fresh off the lot. Can’t say enough. All the others were nice, but the Mazda6 made me fall in love. Plus I didn’t want the auto start/stop feature and the Mazda does not put them in their cars....what a relief!! Highly recommend. The Grand Touring will get you all the bells and whistles (except ventilated seats) without the increase in price.
