A great blend of sporty,roomy,practical,economical,aND luxury.

Looks great but that's about it.

I just took one for an over night test drive. I have to say the car looks vary good. And it is comfortable to. It was quiet and well optioned as well. But the 4 cylinder engine is VARY lacking in power. I found my self needing to put my foot fully to the floor every time I wanted to get on a expressway, or pass another car. The trans mission was nice in normal mode, but sport mode was nothing more then it refusing to up shift, and being vary eager to down shift. (I.E It did not feel sporty, it felt confused.) The steering had a nice feel to it. And the car felt vary solid over all. But it also felt vary boring over all. There was really nothing to get exited about. And the dash to me looked vary plain. The touch screen system worked well, but looked like an after thought. As if the car was done and ready for production when at the last second some was told to fit it with a touch screen. It looks odd sticking out of the top of the dash, and with no visor over the screen it washed out in sun light rather easy making it hard to read on a nice bright day. Wearing sunglasses only made the problem worse. Over all it was not a bad car. But it was not a great car ether. Its lack of power, odd touch screen location, and lack of any thing really exciting, or different really made it feel more of an appliance then any thing. The car just lacks soul. I returned it to the dealer and will not be buying one. I was told by the sales manager that the lack of power, and the odd touch screen placement are common complaints. Over all I think this car is well suited to the average commuter. But for me, I want something that is a bit more exciting. Something that is not just nice to drive, but also fun to drive. And the Mazda 6 just was not it. I really feel that Mazda could have done better with this car. I loved my 2006. And with almost 100hp more then the current car, it was a lot more fun to drive!

Somewhat disappointed

In the last 4 years, I've owned a 2009 Honda Accord ES, 2014 Chevy Malibu LT2 (wife cars), 2011 Nissan Altima 2.5SL, and the 2016 Mazda iTouring so I'm pretty familiar with the class. I bought the Mazda because I really like the styling and I don't like driving a car that I see 17 just like it in the company parking lot. Upside: steering/handling, mileage, quietness, downside: very stiff ride, uncomfortable seats. The stiff ride/great handling are both a product of the 45 series tires. Speaking of, the OEM tires are Dunlop W=rated with a 340 mileage rating...I figure I'll get about a year out of them. Engine performance isn't overwhelming but completely adequate. I got used to the CV transmission in the Altima and miss it...ratio was always exactly what you needed. Wife's Malibu shifts smoother than the Mazda. The iTouring comes standard with backup monitor, cross traffic and blind-spot monitors..the blind-spot monitors are needed as the outside mirrors are mounted somewhat further back than some cars and the B-pillars are wide making for a LARGE blind-spot. Even with the monitors, I've cut a couple of people off. Also on the iTouring, dual zone climate control. Like that the rear seats fold completely flat and the distance between the wheel wells is wider than my old Altima...brought home a 60 in TV last week, no problem. Seats have prominent side bolsters (good) but little lumbar support (bad). I've driven my Altima 14-16 hours straight...don't know how that would work in the Mazda. I like that the material in the interior is actually stitched...the Malibu is molded plastic that LOOKS like stitching. That said, the visors are vinyl, not cloth covered and look like something out of a '77 Toyota Tercel...cheap. Radio uses a central control knob (like many high-end cars) and a touch screen...the touch screen is inactive when the car is moving...takes a little getting used to but nice in that the control knob falls easily to hand when you rest your arm on the console. I've been pleasantly surprised by mileage. I hit 40 occasionally and probably average 35-37, although that seems to be dropping off now that the weather is getting colder. A good car but not for everyone.
