IN LOVE WITH My BLUE REFLEC MICA MAZDA 6 GT!!!!

This is the nicest vehicle I've ever owned. It drives like a dream, and the safety features are phenomenal!! The Active cruise control has saved my bacon more than once in the first month of ownership. The color is amazing, and the interior is looks much more expensive than it is. I love not seeing another car just like mine every few cars. I've only seen 2 other Mazda 6's my color. My previous car, a White, Honda Accord Sport, I saw 2 or 3 every day.

The car for the young.

The 2017 Mazda 6 have excellent appearance, exquisite interior, as well as a good power engine, and excellent driving experience. I think this is the best choice for young people's first car.

Nice vehicle

I got all of the features I wanted or was used to having from my previous Mazda and added a few not available before.

Bang! For My Buck

This car is excellent because it's a triple threat--it's got good looks, reliability, and value for the money. This has served to be an amazing first car for me and I really enjoy driving it because it's comfortable and sleek.

Quality per $$$ can't be beaten here

I can tell you that for $$ I paid, people buying much less of a car, like Civic (for example). I've got lowest trim - Sport on purpose. It is only one that has upholstery and NOT having those hideous 19" wheels, for which there is almost no tire selection at cost over $250 a piece when replacing (and they are not long lasting ultra performance). Mazda6 interior is of highest quality, very pleasant and comfortable. Very quiet. My car has MT and gear shifter/clutch are superior to anything I drove, including Accord Sport MT. Car is not "powerhouse", just adequate but when it comes to steering/handling/braking and road composure, it is brilliant. First tank - 30mpg mixed driving. I like that all controls, knobs and handles have nice and smooth operation. Base model has SMS text readout - this is what I call "everything you need, nothing you don't". Where Mazda (but Honda too) didn't get it right, is MT gear spacing. Very short gearing. Just above 40mph it already asking for 6th. At least they have an indicator that gives you suggestion when to shift up or down (sometimes better to ignore). I wish that 6th was strictly for HWY, over 55 mph and other were spread more. And with cash on the hood and low price, it is hard to beat this deal on value, considering a real quality machine. Mazda's attention to detail is beyond the scope of the class in which this model is playing

Best Make/Model I have owned

The Mazda's have all the security features you could ever want and the luxury ride and comfort. The exterior is very stylish. I've never wanted to own a 4 door sedan until I test drove a Mazda. This is my 2nd Mazda.

Back Seat is Small for Mid Size Car

Car value is great for the money with a sleek exterior design. However, the back seat is rather small, but then again I have 2 great danes to haul.

Great Car! Great Price!

I have thought the last few generations of Mazda 6 were the best looking non-luxury midsize sedan on the market. This car looks like something that costs twice as much as I paid for it. Love the interior design as well. A 184 HP four cylinder is the only engine available so it is not a rocket, but it handles beautifully and gets great gas mileage. I am very happy with this decision.

Definitely most reliable car I've owned.

It's perfect, I have more space than I need and it has tons of peppiness. It's very classy on top of that.

A good solid performer.

The only distraction is how the navigation screen was placed this year in the dashboard. It sits upright , not flushed with the dashboard nor can it be recessed into the dashboard. Reminds me of being like a taxi meter displayed.
