I bought a Mazda 6 SportsBreak early 2011 (Belgium). I had a Saab 9-3 and 9-5 Break before that. I must say that the Mazda 6 is by far the best car I have owned. It drives very smoothly and comfortably. It is well equipped and very good value for money. Remember, traffic is not about being the fastest. Just ask the victims.
My wife is more into BMW and Audi, but she gladly admits that teh Mazda 6 is a "mighty fine drivin' machine".
No Hatch version in the US has always been very odd, the Hatch looks better AND is far more practicable.
The new 2nd generation shape still looks like ass to me, trying to like it but my 1st generation Jap import Atenza Hatch version with factor body kit still looks a ton better.
Bloody yanks, can't review a car for shit! They do it like it was done in the UK about 20 years ago, going on about boring shit like stereo buttons, just drive the car and tell us how it handles! Oh I forgot, you don't have bends lol
I love my 6, corners like a champ. Slow on the get up, yes, but that wasn't what I was looking for. Love the dash and center console. As a designer, I appreciate it. This dude's just too much of a blockhead.
Oh dam, no key less entry, only a regular key. I won't buy it then.....who cares! What a dick, its a base model with a base model engine and a base model price for christ sake.
I actually test drove a v6 and a 2.5. While I loved the V6, the extra features werent enough to push me over to get it. I ended up buying the 2.5 and Im not in love with the pickup but overall I like the car a lot. I can stream audio from my phone while charging it so paying an extra 430 for XM isnt needed. Hopefully I will adjust to the pickup in the car, but if you want power the v6 for sure... it burned rubber on the highway from a complete stop
this guy seems like a lil bitch whining about dials on the dash for climate and the numbers for your presets hahaha who the fuck cares about the numbers, you should know what button is set to what station. he'd get his ass kicked acting like that around here
i really dont like this car reviewer....... he picks on the stupidest things, and sounds negative about EVERYTHING, like the center console. is it just me, or is the center console in this car beautiful?
I've seen about 8 reviews from this guy. He's terrible. He absolutely harps on the most meaningless crap, while almost spending NO time at all on important aspects of the car (handling, for example OR ride). He farts and moans over equipment which isn't included but really shouldn't be included in a midsize sedan. If he could understand that the average consumer can't afford to buy a Mercedes S Class or BMW 7 series, his reviews would be much more useful to the average consumer.
This guy is clearly biased, but I wonder if other people would feel the same way. Personally, I would only purchase a Grand Touring model anyway, but I can imagine most people would buy the car he is reviewing. All in all, he is not giving a balance review and goes a bit far in verbalizing his opinion of what he does not like about the car.
The reviewer should do his homework. He doesn't understand its a base level car thats reliable, economic, comfortable. Commuters love this car.
Now about the head unit: Learn to use the commands on the steering wheel. As well, The circle is meant to add texture. Mazda 6 has style when compared to the alternatives.
@saboobuu Agreed, If Apple came out with a car. I bet they would make an option for his penis and call it the "IFuck". So he could be one with his car. This guy is a total tool and should just stick to reviewing desktop's and laptops.
@saboobuu If you knew anything about cars, then you'd be very well aware that comparing Mazda 6 or even putting it in the same sentence with any Bmw, Audi or Mercedes, is silly.
...it just doesn't make sense. I think that this dude needs to do his homework before doing a car review. This guy seems to be bothered by that system. This car looks better on the outside and on the inside than any american car (gm, chrysler, or ford ever built).
You get the keyless entry...you just don't get the “smart key” with push start ignition (keyless start). If you look carefully the dude has a flip key with four buttons which is a huge hint that the car comes with keyless entry. If this was the base model, then it might not come with keyless entry. Then why would this car have other high teach equipment such as the blind spot warning system and not the keyless entry...
this has gotta be the worst review i've ever seen. you spent literally about 30 seconds out of the five minutes describing how the car drives. if i wanted a 2 minute explanation on the difference between "touring" and "touring plus" i could easily look that up on mazda's web site!
@tenny2391 a tech review?! are you kidding me?! what kind of a review is a "tech review". the only "tech" the car has is it's radio! cars are for driving, a "tech review" is pretty much irrelevant to the consumer...
because they think this is the most popular option and people will be buying this unit more than the fully loaded modle thats like double the price almost.
Only one time you can mistake and buy Mazda .
