Overall, I’m in love with this car.

Overall, I’m in love with this car. I’ve had it for a little over a year now after purchasing it used with 140000km it’s happily taken me over 550km consecutively, has literally climbed out of every situation a car shouldn’t have, including a ditch, and hasn’t needed any maintenance other than your basic oil changes and flat tires (likely due to a surplus of burnouts). Whoever wrote that this car is isn’t fast likely hasn’t driven this car because Mazda go zoom zoom and before I hit maximum acceleration I ended up gravelplaning at 180. Also for a four cylinder this motor has an amazing take off and refuses to redline!(Thats a really good thing.) Lastly, my check engine light has been on for the entirety of my ownership.

Best car I've ever driven, very well balanced

Bought my 2011 Mazda 6 used back in 2012. Prev rental vehicle with 37k miles. Never had a single issue. Too bad it got totalled by another driver in 2020. Drove beautifully. The only thing I would improve is the speed/acceleration for the base 4 cylinder engine. Id recommend the v6 over the 4 cylinder but the 4 is still adequate. Drive is very well balanced between smooth/practical/enjoyable. Agile car. Love it. Would buy a Mazda 6 again. Maybe v6 or new turbo 4 cyl next time

Very fun and reliable despite being "slow"

Love this car. My specific car was a used previous rental vehicle, so I took a bit of a risk, but 7 years running and not a single serious issue with the car except routine maintenance. Sure the car might not be as fast as the competition, but it feels very light and agile, and is legitimately fun to drive. Can't complain. One of the best purchases I've ever made.

7th Mazda in our family

We bought a 08 and it had the 4cylinder and it did fine for what we needed, then got the 07 6s 6cylinder and it was amazingly powered and had decent MPG, sold that and now have the 2011 grand touring S and the HP in this is a sleeper, and when power is needed it is their ready for you. the seats are very comfortable and the tech package is nice, also holds corners and does well on all roads.

Best car I've ever had

Great gas mileage, nice interior, awesome body style, factory sound is amazing, has Bluetooth as well I'm used to older cars that don't have it so it's definitely a perk

Great Buy!

It's a great little car. Exactly what I needed. Lots of room inside. It has a huge trunk. It has excellent mpg. I love the color too.

Great gas mileage but not many features

It's not fast and doesn't have many features. It's kind of weird because sometimes you hit the gas and it actually moves immediately and then other times it takes a while for the car to speed up after you hit the gas. It's a mystery. I think it was like that before the accident. I used it for Uber which was a claustrophobia-filled mistake. You should really use bigger ones for Uber, or drive for short periods of time. Saves gas extremely well though.

Nicest and most well driving car I have ever owned

The car is really comfortable and drives well. I love the color and the interior is nice. I LOVE the sound system. The red lights on the dash is nice also.

Style and Power an Excellent Combination!

I'm a Mazda 6 fan! It's a smooth ride, a fast acceleration when necessary and a great style. This car is a great long trip car. The hand controls are convenient and easy to use giving the driver less distracting while setting cruise control and other functions. The hands free text and talk is great for busy people on the go. I would recommend this car without hesitation.
