2018 Mazda Mazda6 consumer reviews

I have had the car for a couple of weeks and while the car is decent, but there are too many "gushy" (most of them appear fake) reviews for it out there claiming that it performs well. The 2.5L turbo engine is not satisfying to drive hard. It delivers too much torque at the start, spins the wheels, then just as you accelerate towards redline, it falls on its face at 4000 rpm. If you drive it normally, it is fine, but do not look for a rewarding experience if you push it hard. Plus hearing that buzzy 4-cylinder sound under load is another reason to take it easy on the gas pedal. The handling is just OK. It feels sharp and has good turn-in when you are tooling around town and initial impression is that it is more capable that it really is. Push it a little harder and it falls apart quickly due to what all is being asked of the front tires in this layout (ie turn, brake, steer). If a performance tire was used, it may handle better. So, those things aside, if you are looking for a good-looking commuter vehicle and don't drive your cars hard, then this is a good choice. It is nice to look at inside and out and is pretty comfortable. The tech is OK but the infotainment system is antiquated and sluggish at startup. I was on the fence about purchasing this or the Accord. I ultimately ruled out the Accord because I get weary of seeing so many of them on the road. If you are looking for a performance midsize car and can get past its over-styled looks (especially that uni-brow front chrome bar), then I suggest looking towards an Accord 2.0T.

The car met all my standards enjoy having the car very affordable and drive beautiful if was to trade it would trade it for a most recent year and with the same o more equipped

I purchased this car because the dealers in my area were offering $6500.00 off the list price. That included a $3000.00 rebate from Mazda! I test drove the car and fell in love with it! It's stylish, powerful and has very plush interior! The deal made this car an unbelievable value for all you get! Mine is the Grand Touring. I highly recommend this car!

THIS VEHICLE IS BETTER THAN OTHER VEHICLES I OWNED THAT WERE LUXURY. I LOVE THE SAFETY FEATURES AND THE TAN INTERIOR WHICH IS DIFFERENT FROM ME ALWAYS GETTING BLACK LEATHER INTERIOR.

I recently traded in my 2017 Audi A4 for a new Mazda 6 Grand Touring Reserve. Thought about getting a signature but this one had all of the must-have features on my list. This car is more comfortable than my Audi! Great seats, awesome handling, plenty of power. Car is quiet at speeds under 60mph. Over 60, there is some wind noise coming in from the rear windows (front windows and windshield are laminated glass). I didn’t think it would be easy going from an Audi to a Mazda, but I don’t miss the Audi that much. I feel like I’m still driving a luxury car. Most impressive features are: the ventilated seats, the awesome heads-up display, A/C controls look classy and simple, 19” wheels with great design, smooth and quiet around town, confident handling around curves.

Easy to drive; comfortable seating. Looks and handles like a luxury car. No buyer's remorse with this car! It is the nicest car I have ever owned!

I love the sportiness of this car and comfort of it! Love the layout of the electronics. It drives and handles so well. Very happy with my purchase.

I’ve had the car for a month and it’s been a great experience. Much better ride than the other makes I tried. Far more responsive and comfortable.

I first leased the 2016 Mazda6 and loved it. Once that lease was up, I found myself in the 2018 Mazda6 Grand Touring Reserve. This car has all of the tech features I could want. And safety features. I didn't know the extent of all of the features until a car quickly entered my lane and the vehicle quickly told me to brake! Without this technology, I might have not seen it coming. It's stylish and sleek with quality leather. Performance wise, it's turbo charged and fast. I got the soul red crystal metallic exterior and it SHINES. This car is amazing. And sexy. I will continue leasing Mazda6's for as long as I drive.

I wanted a manual transmission, but was unavailable on upper level models. That said, it is the most accommodating auto I’ve ever owned. Handles well and feels very safe & comfortable in all circumstances so far. Takes some getting used to all the features, but then the adventure begins. It feels like luxury beyond this price point. Test drive - you’ll be a believer
