Finally got my dream car!
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.

Reliable, dependable and looks good
I am a Mazda guy. I bought my first one in 1983 and haven’t looked back since. I own the 2014 Mazda 6 and like all of my previous Mazdas I have only had routine and expected maintenance. I buy them because they are a great value and don’t strive to be what they are not. My ego is not dependent on my vehicle and and I crave reliability and keeping my cost low. Can’t beat’em

Mazda wont honor car still under warranty, rusting
When one spends $28,000 on a new car with a 36 month warranty, they expect the dealer and manufacturer to faithfully honor that warranty. However, despite treating my car like a baby, with only 5200 miles on it, it began rusting in multiple places under the hood. It should not be rusting in an area that is protected under the hood. When I took it to the dealer, they threw many lame excuses at me, blaming me for not properly maintaining the car, blaming me for not keeping it in a garage all the time. How am I supposed to use the car if I must always keep it in the garage? NO! This was not a matter of improper maintenance on my part. This is a matter of the car not being designed properly since its already rusting in the 2nd year. It’s also a failure of the dealer to be honest. Not only am I having to deal with the stress & frustration of a poorly built car, take time off from work, wait 4 1/2 hours at the service center only to be refused getting the rust fixed, but the service advisor Emmanuel Cruz insulted me by blaming me for failing to maintain the car properly. Wrong! Mazda failed to build the car properly & the dealer is attempting to skirt their responsibility for fixing the car while under warranty. Non-moving parts under the hood, such as the radiator frame and other areas should not be rusting so soon, before 5000 miles even! This is evidence of the car not being built properly. If the car is already rusting in the 2nd year, how bad will it be rusting if the car even makes it to 5 or 10 years?!?! It’s bad enough to buy a poorly built car, but it’s even worse when the dealer won’t stand behind the products it sells. I shouldn’t be having to file complaints online & paying to hire a lawyer to force the dealer & Mazda to honor the warranty. I relied on the warranty before buying the car. If I knew they would refuse to honor the warranty, I never would have bought the car. Offering a worthless warranty is false advertising and a false and deceptive business practice. If you buy a Mazda and it starts rusting even before reaching 5000 miles, what will you do when the dealer refuses to honor the warranty and blames you for not maintaining the car properly? I wish I had bought a Toyota instead.
