Great value

By JW written on 07-26-2016

I have had my 6 Manual Touring for a month and 1000K. It is a fantastic value...I got fog lights and navigation (which can be added by the dealer for $400 or so). 22K even out the door. The fit and finish are very high for a car of this price and the car turns heads. It is a sexy, well styled sedan. I have had 4 and 5 people in the car and it feels fine. The back seat is quite roomy for kids and adequate for adults. There are a few areas where you can see costs were saved, but honestly, these are minor and I enjoy driving it more than my old Audi A4. I am averaging 31mph in mixed driving. I highly recommend this car. Put the extra 10-20K you'll save over a "luxury" brand in your kids college fund. UPDATE: 7 months and 5K miles in. I still really like this car. I get 29 mph in mixed driving, but am not the most conservative driver. I would say it isn't quite on par with my old Audi in terms of fun to drive, but that is reflected in saving 9mph (in a larger sedan) and 15K in purchase price. Backseat is roomy for kidlets and I am generally very happy.

Sexy Car, Great Handling -- Needs a Turbo

By WK written on 09-27-2016

The steering and suspension tuning are fantastic. This car handles like nothing else in the segment and is as good as some European sedans costing a lot more. It is light and athletic. Some consider it too stiff, but I think that's because most cars are too soft. There is elevated road noise, but anyone buying a Mazda shouldn't be surprised by that. In terms of styling, it's easily the best-looking car in the class. The interior is nice, although it's idiotic that heated seats aren't available in the Touring trim with the manual transmission. I didn't buy the car with the stick to save money; I opted for the manual because I love driving and wanted the extra level of engagement. I also live in Colorado and prefer manuals in snow. My mother's rinky-dink Ford Focus has heated seats. You can't get a sunroof with the Touring manual, either. I do like the rotary knob and button cluster (media controls) on the center console. I have never and will never touch the screen. The controls are intuitive and the separate volume knob is a nice touch. I don't have a phone and do not care about Apple CarPlay or Android whatever. The main gripe with the Mazda6 is the lack of power. Plant your foot in second gear and it can't get out of its own way. It's a total dog. The engine is naturally aspirated, but you get the sensation of turbo lag until about 3000 rpm. Mazda has decided to drop turbo 4-cylinder from the CX-9 in this car for 2018; I don't know what took them so long. It's also worth mentioning that this car is dreadful in snow. I maintain a ridiculous following distance in snow and try to time lights, because I run the risk of getting stuck at traffic signals in anything more than 2 inches. I don't know how much of this is attributable to the stock Dunlops (allegedly "all-season". . . sure they are) or the car's low curb weight (3,179 lbs.), but traction is pitiful. I originally wanted a Subaru WRX, but decided not to test drive one because I didn't want to know what I was missing. I settled for the 6 and kind of regret it. It's a very nice car, but I just hate the lack of power, which is exacerbated by elevation (my house is at ~5900 ft. above sea level). Overall, it's comfortable and delivers acceptable fuel economy (~26 mpg in city driving). Oh, and be mindful of the front fascia; it's very low. I have to back out of my driveway at a 45-degree angle to avoid scraping it on the curb.

10 month review - 2016 Mazda 6 GT

By Ernie written on 06-22-2016

Love this car and I would definitely buy it again. First the cons: The trunk opening is very small, I have difficulty putting bulky items in. Ride is a little stiff, but that's to be expected with 19 inch rims on the GT trim version. A little noisy on the interior still, but much better than the 2015's I test drove. First couple of days I kept hitting my head while entering the car. One thing I didn't find out until after I purchased my car was that the infotainment system locks you out of almost all the options screens if you are driving. This was annoying when having to stop to add my passengers phone to the Bluetooth device list. A simple google allowed me to find a hack to disable that feature. All 4 of my rims started peeling less than a year from purchase (covered under warranty) and my rotors have gotten warped. Nothing that can't be fixed though. Pros: Handling is amazing. Love the look of the car. Fuel economy for 60highway/40city is around 33mph. Love the Leatherette. At first I though the digital speedometer was a gimmick, but I've learned to love it. The folding rear seats are great for large items.
