Best value car

This car is extremely practical, fuel efficient yet powerful and agile. Also very reliable and includes many luxury features. Overall, one of the best cars I've owned.

Just got it. So far so good!

Wanted one more manual vehicle that wasn't too old. Found this 2015 Mazda 6 manual transmission one. It had 62,000 miles on it. The looks, well, they are just gorgeous and I'm glad the newest model (2019) look the same. Engine is silky smooth, with nice (although not gutsy strong) acceleration, the tranny is a little notchy between 1st and 2nd, but above that is slides into gear with ease and the acceleration still pulls well even in 6th gear. I love just coasting down hills with the car in neutral, it slips through the air, like a plane. My only gripe with it, is that I've yet to find a really good comfortable seating position, which has happened before. With long legs I don't get much thigh support, so I have to push my butt deep into the seat bottom to get kind of comfortable. But I can deal with it, since this is my 'fun car' and I avoid doing long distance trips in it and definitely avoid rush hour. I took it on the first trip recently to check out the highway gas mileage, doing 180 miles roundtrip. Came back with an estimated mileage of 38.8 mpg, that is phenomenal. Once I get permanent tags for it, I'll take it up into the mountains, where I believe it will really shine. Again, I have only had it for about a little more than a week, but I am very happy so far. Oh yes, I got a really good price on it, too. When I look at Accord's with manuals for the same model year, they were much more expensive.

Fairly Reliable

This car was ver nice to own and drive. The appearance is very sleek as well, and stylish so I constantly get compliments on it. However, I advise that you NEVER purchase a new Mazda, as they ABSOLUTELY DO NOT HOLD THEIR VALUE!!! In hindsight, I spent way too much for a car that isn’t worth anything compared to what I payed for it 4 years later. You’re better off spending a little more for a Honda or something else that will hold its value over time.

Love this car!

The car is great. Excellent acceleration. Cold air conditioner. I love The styling and the red metallic color. Driver seat is a little hard. 6 inch display is old school technology.

Fast, reliable car with many features

Nice car with back camera, fast switching automatic transmission, side driving car warning system, cruise control , etc. Famous Japanese quality, low gas consumption. Recommended.

Interior falling apart

This car handles very well but has no power. No more zoom zoom with Mazda I guess. I purchased the sport manual transmission. Even with the stick shift however, excelleration from a dead stop is still poor. It will be worse with an automatic. I can't get good throttle response from 1st to 3rd gear. 200 horse power isn't nearly enough for a car this heavy. The weather stripping on the driver door keeps coming off. Console cover hinge broke. The plastic molding under the same door looks like it's coming loose. Where the rear seat belts come out there is a crack in the plastic. My 99 Maxima had a much better sounding stereo. The Maxima also stayed together for 11 years inside and out. I'm very concerned with stuff already breaking on my Mazda. Heated rear view mirrors and climate control should come standard on every car, my Mazda doesn't have them. No fog lights either. I'm disappointed with Mazda quality overall. The cheaply made interior and lack of power make me wish I bought something else. Mazda service isn't great either. Don't buy.

Fun, sporty, reliable, comfortable.

I had a BMW of the same year for a few months, and this Mazda 6 is equally fun to drive and comfortable. And the cost is only 1/2 of that of the BMW. Plus it is completely reliable. High quality, much better quality than the 2105 Subaru Forester that I own.

Better get extended warranty

Beautiful car but as soon as my warranty ran out (3 year\36,000) had computer problem and it's in the shop right now and I have to pay for it. Well never get another one!

The most comfortable/easy driving cars I've owned

This car has been one of the most comfortable and easy driving, road hugging cars I've owned. My wife is retiring and we no longer need two cars. If her car weren't nicer and more expensive, I would not be selling mine!

Sexy and Reliable

Greatest non-luxury sedan out there. You?d think you stepped into an Audi on first glance. Rocket fast high compression engine, great handling, excellent safety features and creature comforts. Mazda has truly outdone themselves.
