2 years later... REGERTS (yes that is correct)

By screwedinaz written on Mar 1, 2015

let me say this. IF you are a larger person like me and over 6 foot tall SKIP THIS THING. this was made for little people under 6 feet tall. A large person will have a heck of a time getting in or out via ANY door. things have started rattling a wee bit by the drivers door i tightened some screws and have not heard much more after that. The dealers paint stick for minor oopsies simply does not match the color at all. you can shake the plastic pen for 20 minutes it will still be a dark silver. The 6 speed manual transmission has a serious issue the dealer will not look at. it makes a shuttering sound on take off, and yes i can drive a standard transmission, i drive a semi at work with 9 gears high and low ranges. i wonder if that is why it was so cheap? Do they know something and do not want to deal with it?? No matter, in a few weeks they will not have a choice. as i will FORCE them to take it apart and look at it. The BIGGEST complaint i have is the after effects of oil changes. i use mobil 1 0w20 the grade that is demanded by MAZDA. Here is where it gets weird after the oil change the car uses more gas than it did before i changed the oil?? SAY WHAT?? yes it is true. seems to be the longer you run the oil the better the fuel economy gets. told you it was weird. i am going to try the mazda oil from dealer next service and see what happens, it does have moly in it and mobil 1 does not. At least research showed nothing on it. Also the book is wrong with fluid capacities. it states 4 quarts of oil without filter change 4.25 with filter change. a 5 quart bottle leaves me down .25 quarts so that is wrong what the book says. lastly, MAZDA what is the deal with the price of the OEM tires on this thing?? SERIOUSLY $245.00 EACH. there is a version with exact same specs and exact same manufacturer that is $100 less!!! overall i would not buy another mazda 6 to small for my size.

Mazda6 I Sport Soul Red

By svminn written on Mar 20, 2015

1st. TY to all the reviewers, I read before I purchased. As others have covered a nice looking car and handles well. I like the car but some things to look at that you many not notice on a test drive. Note these are the cloth seats in the sport. The height and lean mechanisms seem cheap. There are big gaps in the adjustment levels. I found it hard to find a comfortable seating position. Check the fit for you on a long drive. The OS mirrors are set back more than any car I have driven and take some getting used to. A plus for me = you can turn off the AC in defrost mode and you contol if air is circulated from outside or in. After 2 years the car still handles tight, with no rattles. Has not needed any repairs. Looks & drives small & sporty but surprisingly roomy inside. Others are surprised at how much it can carry. Even still surprise myself at what l can pack in it.

Very Impressed

By jfcpamba written on Nov 13, 2014

I was looking for a fun car to drive, manual that could fit our family of five. Test drove many cars and decided on the 6. This car is not perfect, but it is an excellent car for this price point. The best part of this car is the drive. It feels and handles great, like you are connected to the road. The fit and finish on the inside are fantastic as everything has a really nice look and feel to it. Nothing fantastic, but everything is nice. On the outside, I think it's a beut...but that's my opinion. I've had it for 6 weeks now and am now averaging 33 mpg in mixed driving. Hard to believe! This car is what I was looking for.

Mazda 6 at 12k miles

By btuthill written on Jan 25, 2015

Overall this is a great car. It's fun to drive, and it has a lot of features that come with a low price tag. I bought the package that gave me the 6-speed manual with leather, and the entertainment package. While it has a lot of great things to it, the entertainment system still seems to be a major point where Mazda saved money. There is a decent amount of lag between the use of the center console or steering wheel controls to the actual response on the unit. The leather also feels very thin. I don't think it's real leather, and I worry I'll puncture it. It still looks good though and a lot of people comment on how nice looking the car is. Transmission is superb.. shifting is smooth.

Mazda 6 i Sport Update--7 months later

By evan21007 written on Mar 21, 2015

This is un updated review based on having this car now for 7 months and 3600 miles. The exterior styling is still an eye catcher and the seats are comfortable with the right amount of support. The engine has decent power but could be better from 0-20 mph w/o being somewhat aggressive with the gas pedal. The Yokohama tires have good grip combined with the 17" wheels. Steering and suspension are responsive to every input so you can have fun taking corners or enjoy a smooth ride in daily commuting. The interior is simply laid out with good ergonomics, high quality materials and switchgear throughout. It's not a flashy interior, which is a good thing. This is a driver's car!
