Mazda MAZDA6
Select a Year
(2 available)
There are no major changes for the 2012 Mazda6 sedan.
Mild enhancements for 2011 include a new headlight and fog light design, along with a new 17-inch alloy wheel. Upgrades inside include a new steering wheel and premium trim accents on the center instrument panel. Grand Touring models receive a Multi-Information Display, Bluetooth controls and a rearview camera as standard equipment, while the Touring model receives Bluetooth hands-free phone and audio in its standard menu.
The most horrible day in a driving enthusiast's life is when he or she realizes it's time to trade-in the beloved coupe for a traditional family sedan. No company understands this angst better than Mazda, which is why it created a fun-to-drive four-door family sedan with racy good looks and a budget-friendly price tag. The Mazda Mazda6 is in the same market category as the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry, but offers a much more flavorful driving experience, not to mention a wide and varied lineup that includes a five-door hatchback and a wagon model. Although not as roomy inside or as large outside as the Camry, the Mazda6 is a more satisfying daily driver, with more than enough room to accommodate a family of four.

"The Mazda6 is definitely a fun car to drive with a lot of power. I purchased the S Grand Touring model. It has a powerful 3.7L (V6 engine) 272 hrs power and 269 ft of torque. I have been able to do 0-60 in 6.1 secs. I have been averaging more gas milage than advertised. I am getting 20.5 city/28 highway. It is a quiet and smooth ride. The engine is more powerful, but quieter than the older model. The interior is well designed and comfortable. The Exterior is stylish and easy on the eyes. I love the blind spot monitoring system and the 5 star crash test rating. I can tell that this new redesign Mazda6 has great quality. It feels and drives like a lot of luxury Cars, but with a sporty feel like an Acura TL. Overall the car is awesome and I would recommend anyone to drive one before you buy your next car."

"Owned the 6 for one year. I bought a new sTouring with several options. The blind spot monitoring system works great is should be standard on all cars. Keyless entry and bluethooth work well. Occasionally bluetooth errors but this can be attributed to wind noise at highway speeds. The 6 handles very well and is a pleasure to drive. I do have an annoying wind noise located in the drivers window frame. This is right at ear level and drives me crazy at freeway speeds. Fortunately I do not drive highway daily. The passenger door trim insert also rattles. This rattles on all road surfaces and rattles to the bass of the radio. Had an issue with the tires earlier on. The rear drivers tire blew out on the freeway while I was traveling in the passing lane. fortunately I was able to safely bring the car to the breakdown lane. The tire shredded and came off the rim. New tire set me back $322. Ouch. I don't know why it was not covered as it appears to me to be a defect. New tire loses air monthly, wonder if rim was damaged? Interesting note : Spare tire is intended for REAR use only! This is stated in owners manual. Engine noise is loud, although inside it is not noticeable. Still car handles great for a "family" sedan. Looked at a VW CC, nice car. It did not have as many options still I bargained for it. The Mazda does not hold its value well as I was offered 10K less than sticker one year ago. I only have 9500 mile. I receive 19.6 MPG and this is with all synthetic oil. The blush may be off the rose but it remain a fun car. W"

"This an updated review. I've owned the Mazda 6 almost a year now and had a few issues. 1) rattle under the dash area when cold weather sets in. 2) A/C compressor failed. 3) Keyless entry fob broke. All issues were taken care of in a timely manner by the dealer. Rattle still persists but can be lived with. The V-6 is a real zoom-zoom performer with 28mpg highway and 20 city. Looks as though this car is a keeper."
