Love this Car

This car has been fantastic so far. I have owned it since January. It looks amazing from the outside. Everyone comments on the beautiful styling, especially the front end and the wheels. I have the tech package with the iTouring trim. It has tons of features for the price I paid. It handles like a sports car, and is very responsive. For those who love to drive and be in control of their vehicle and "feel the road" this is a great automobile! For a 4 cylinder, it has a lot of pep. The automatic transmission is tuned very well, and it never hesitates to downshift. Highly recommended!

Quick, Responsive and NICE to look at.

The Mazda 6 is the perfect balance between power and fuel economy. It has just the right amount of power to get around slow cars but the fuel economy is still great. I love the styling, people constantly comment on it and they particularly love the dark blue (almost black at night) color . I also get alot of comments on the interior design, what's great about the Mazda6 is the interior feels/looks like those of cars twice its price!

Best Japanese Sedan under 30K

I've ordered Mazda 6 when it first came out. My initial impression was "wow", truly felt the design of exterior was far superior to other compatible cars like Toyota's Camry and Honda's Accord. The car has sporty looks, aggressive and elegant at the same time. Interior is where it outshines the rest in the segment including VW Passat. Mazda designers really took time to design the interior that is focused on driver more, it reminds me of BMW in a way based on the dash layout. It's comfortable and has tons of space. Even in the back you have plenty of room and this car on trips averaged well over 34 mpg. In the city I was getting above 30 with AC on. I owned many cars, from Mustangs to Mercedes E class, BMW 330i and Audi A6 and I can easily say although this is not comparable to above mentioned cars, it won't leave you feeling like you're in a budget car made of cheap plastic. My only reason for parting with my 6 was lack of power. It's a great family Sedan and on highway when you already have speed it doesn't suffer when changing lanes but off the start and if you just feel like spirited driving, it simply doesn't deliver. I wish they made V6 or Inline 6 for this or at least added turbo to that great engine. It would make a real difference as steering and suspension is more on the sporty side unlike boat like feel in Camry or Honda's mediocre Accord that's really reliable but you can't call it a driver's car. Mazda6 has all the tech you need, from GPS and satellite radio to heated seats and blind spot monitoring for $25K, and standard backup camera. The 19 inch wheels the mid trim comes with are excellent in corners and overall car feels planted on the road. So, if you want a car that has looks and comfort as well as best fuel economy in it's class and don't want to be another Camry owner, go get Mazda6, it's 10 times better in every way. If you like to drive the car and have some power to push it when you feel like it then look elsewhere in upper 30k range.

Best handling car in it's class

After driving some of the leading cars in it's class, I can confirm that there's no other car that drives and handles nearly as good as the Mazda 6. The seats and driving position are great!

Sport 6 Speed Manual

This car puts my previous car (2010 focus) to shame. The quality, design, and handling really makes this car stand out. And excellent gas mileage. A couple minor gripes: center armrest could be better, clutch release could be smoother. But make no mistake, this is one beautiful car for the money.

Love this car, great stylish family car.

Tbe Mazda6 is a midsize sedan suitable for hauling your family around but with a stylish interior and exrerior you usually only get in more expensive models. Fun to drive and looks cool with a great electronics package.

Best family sedan to stand out in the crowd

After lots of research, test drives and countless hours reading reviews and forums bought a Mazda 6 2016 GT and I am in love with it since day one. Love the exterior styling and driving dynamics. feels like a more powerful car with Sports Mode ON. I am loving it and can't get over the bragging about the car. You won't be disappointed with this one.
