My friends and I (3 guys, each 6 foot) had the pleasure of having a 2020 Touring model as a rental for a week for a roadtrip. Grey with black interior...BEAUTIFUL CAR. Got behind the wheel and fell in love. I really had no gripes with the car. Seats were very comfortable, ride was quiet and smooth. Plenty of leg room in the back for one of my friends, even with one of the front seats being almost all the way back. All safety features (Blind spot, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, auto headlights and wipers, etc.) worked flawlessly. During my drive, I noticed the slower response times on other makes with the blind spot as I was coming into theirs. Very impressed with how swift the Mazda was to detect. Driving about 80-90mph on the interstate and my friends and I still managed to average 33 miles to the gallon! The car (to me) had more than enough power for merging and passing, even with the base engine. It actually had a nice sound to it, too! I was sad to return it back to the rental company LOL. A solid choice for anyone considering it, I don't think you will be disappointed! I am a diehard Hyundai/Kia/Genesis fan, but following my week long drive with the Mazda, I definitely have one of these on my radar now!

Lots of spirit

The is a well-balanced vehicle. I find my Mazda 6 Sport to be an enjoyable sedan to drive on the highway and especially on twisty rural roads. The design is very thoughtful and reflects the highest level of Japanese style. I buy a vehicle to drive, and electronic gizmos related to music are less relevant to me. I have the standard 2.5 engine, and it has lots of punch. I think the boy racers need to get a grip on it and go elsewhere if they just want to go fast. This is my third Mazda in recent years and it is the best for long road trips. It rivals my old 2.0 Mazda 3 on rural roads, but is far quieter without the road rumble. Fuel mileage is impressive. This is a car that performs far above its class .I feel great every time I get behind the wheel. Now about those silly Mazda ads...bring back Zoom Zoom!

Most people don’t even consider the Mazda 6. This is a smoking good looking car with great interior and now with the Turbo option it’s also fast .Go for a test job!

2020 Mazda 6 Signature 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

Mazda6 Signature in soul crystal red metallic with parchment nappa leather interior. I've wanted this exact car since the mid cycle refresh in 2018. The pros: 1. beautiful car, the most beautiful color for a car that I've ever seen complements the sculpted work of art that is the exterior of the car. Looking at it is an emotional experience. 2. The interior is both attractive and practical. Every control reeks of high quality, with firm detents and clicks, not a wobbly know or switch to be found. Button and control locations are second nature, logically arranged, I could find them blindfolded after a while. 3. The most comfortable car seats I've ever sat in. I flew from San Diego to Santa Barbara to pick up the car, then drove ir almost 4 hours to get home. The seats hug you firmly enough not to slide around, but the leather was supple and padding gentle enough to keep me comfy the whole way...no fatigue at the end of the drive. 4. Like my old 2006 Mazda3, and my 1986 Mazda 323 before it, the machine and I are one on the road. I feel the car doing exactly what I tell it to do. And that is why I've stuck with Mazda. I love how it drives. Cons: 1. Infotainment system. I don't hate it like a lot of people do, I like the idea of know driven control, but the design of menus isn't always the best. I'm getting used to it, but wish it were better. 2. Camera resolution is bad. Nothing else need be said about it. 3. After reading all the stories, I'm deathly afraid of paint chipping off, it's a constant thought while driving. I carefully choose my route to work to avoid construction zones and broken roads that are frequented by semis and big trucks. Still, getting up and leaving the house to go to work, seeing the car brings a smile and a skipped heartbeat every day. I'd buy it again in a second over any other car out there in the price range.

I just purchased the 2020 Mazda 6 Signature and I couldn’t be happier. The drive is awesome and the attention to detail makes you feel like you’re driving a more expensive vehicle. So glad I switched from Nissan to Mazda.
