2021 Mazda 6 Carbon Edition 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
5 of 17 people found this review helpful
I recently leased the "carbon edition". Being a Japanese made car i really did not check out the technology it came with. If I had I doubt that I would have leased it. My biggest complaint is that it is not a touch screen. My 2018 Charger and 2019 Mustang both have touch screens. The screen itself and unfriendly toggle switch have not been updated in this model which is a "special" model. If I am driving and want to change a destination I have to pull over put the car in part, put the emergency brake on and then change where I want to go. On a positive not the car us quick, handles like a dream, is comfortable but way behind in the tech used. If you are looking for up dated tech but something else

2021 Mazda 6 Grand Touring Reserve 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
11 of 42 people found this review helpful
I always wanted a Mazda 6 Grand Touring. I finally bought a brand new 2021 Mazda 6 GT, and now I suffer heavily from buyer's remorse. The engine is underwhelming with a 0 to 60 time of 7.1 sec. There is a lot of torque from this bad boy, but it is all bark and no bite after first gear. It feels heavy and unsporty. I am 6 ft. tall and I have trouble getting in and out of the vehicle without heading my head once or twice. Once I survived the initial entry point, I feel like a giant with the top of my head grazing the ceiling. The infotainment system looks like 2010 tech. The rear camera is terrible. I do like the center knob near the shifter. After you get used to it, it becomes intuitive and quite safer than touch screen, but that's the height of the excitement. Other than that, this car makes me sad. I already have thoughts of how I am going to trade in this vehicle for something else (Kia Stinger?).

2020 Mazda 6 Signature 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
1 of 2 people found this review helpful
I have a 2020 Mazda6 Signature and really enjoy the turbo engine. It makes a nice whine under boost and the 6-spd auto trans works well with the engine. I average just shy of 30mpg in combined driving, which is fantastic! If Mazda had put an 8-spd trans in this car, it likely would be closer to 32mpg avg. The cabin wrapped in Parchment leather is GORGEOUS and nicely put together. I find the seats soft and comfortable with good range of adjustment, although I wish the thigh and side bolsters were a little more sporty. In the rear, the seat is spacious, although this Signature trim lacks the rear or side sunshades I expected to find. The Bose sound system is ok but not great; you really have to crank it up to hear it and there is no mid- adjustment...just lots of bass. 2 things I hate about the car: 1) The mirrors are not tied into the memory settings!! Why Mazda? Why? We had a 2017 CX-9 previously and had the same issue--I thought by 2020 Mazda would have corrected this! 2) You can't read the tire pressures from the instrument cluster! What engineer missed this one? Every car I've had in the last 10 years has put a readout in the instrument cluster menu. Pain in the butt. The car is a joy to drive and a gem to look at (especially in Soul Red Crystal). I would definitely recommend it if you can get past the minor inconveniences I mentioned.

I went to drive and buy this but it was awful. Sure it’s gorgeous and appears well made but the interior seating, even with the signature comfort seats, was so firm we didn’t even finish the test drive. The back seats are so straight up and hard that I was miserable before the salesman even put me in the driver seat. The tech and interior seems dated and is clearly years behind other options in this price range. A Kia Optima from 2015 is more comfortable, has better tech and is easier to drive. For the price of a Signature you have much better options. Also, the salesman drove it for 5 miles before he ever even turned it over to me. At first this infuriated me but in retrospect it gave me way too much time in that back seat to realize it was not the car I was hoping for.

Car meets my basic requirements. Remote starter with smartphone access and monitoring should be a built in feature. Forward camera quality doesn’t meet 2020 technology. I suggest few point for Mazda to consider for 2022 model. (1) Rear external design could be improved to shape like Hyundai Sonata and rear lights could be made more beautiful. Interior Back seat air conditioning vent shape looks like an old fashion, design could be improved by using a combination of some sort of metallic touch, just like there is some metallic touch is there on the dashboard Gadget charger unit is only available from inside the arm rest box, there must an option from to plug the cord inside the mobile phone box in front of gear unit. There must be a wireless mobile phone slot available. Blind spot could be improved by using cameras trigger with indicator.
