Great driving experance
We love our car as it handles very well on the road and even better in raining conditions. The widow wipers get a little sicky and then when having to use them sometimes scrape but replacing those fixed that issue and we replaced the rims as the stock look rubbish. But the car drives very well

Great car with luxurious trim
Ive owned this car now for 6 months and its still an absolute pleasure to drive.
Fuel economy is not the rated 6.6, im getting around 7.1 or 7.2 l / 100 km which is still good.
Interior is beautifully done, all leather, nice trim, great sat/nav stereo
Ride is very quiet and smooth, take off is very good. Not a fan of the i-stop but can be easily deactivated (read forums)
Fixed price servicing,
Have been very happy with this car, I have the GT variant and it looks spectacular.

Overall good
Overall it is a nice car, leather interior, auto wipers, auto headlights, personalised seat controls. Only issue is the Bluetooth, it is terrible. Got to do everything over a lengthy voice control and whilst playing music it constantly drops out. I listen to a lot of music over Bluetooth so very dissapointing.

Good Car with Skyactiv tech!
This car has good torque and fuel efficiency. Driving it is full of fun. Noise control is better than my previous Accord Euro, but comparing with Lexus, it still has a long way to go.
Interior is quite beautiful. Legroom is fine for a sporty car.
Never have any big issue with this car.

Mazda 6 Sport Wagon - Tops!
This car is a great drive - hugs the road nicely, very tame at speed and refined handling. Easy on fuel, not so much on tyres if you don't rotate them regularly. Do that and you will reap the benefits in extending tyre wear. Lane departure, parking assist, kinetic recovery system all work well, and the steering wheel paddles to shift gears in sports mode are fun, if not impractical at normal speeds. New Mazda paint formula means the duco will last - metallic red is a great colour!

Perfect middle class car
The Mazda 6 is a great car for any growing family, that occasionally goes for long road trips or zip around the city. Spacious front and back with standard large 7" in dash screen with GPS and Bluetooth audio. We have the Sport model, which comes with leather seats, climate control, fog lights, 17" alloys that gives the smoothest ride. We upgraded from the Mazda 3, and could tell the difference in ride comfort straight away.

Better than a luxury car
I've driven a few luxury cars and while they may be impressive the current Mazda 6 definitely is on par. It has the latest technology, navigation and bluetooth is on point, the glass speedometer that goes up and down is fantastic. The car is very easy to drive and manoeuvre and very comfortable. Good legroom and nice interiors. The hand break is a switch which takes a while to get used to but definitely no hindrance to the driving experience. The side mirrors automatically close as the car locks which also automatically locks as you leave the car. Exteriors also have a luxury appearance. Have been driving Honda for 15 years and changed to a new Honda every 3 years but the Mazda has definitely won me over.

Perfect, seriously there is nothing about it that I'd change
The visual dashboard is fricking awesome and has so many features: music, radio, sat-nav, bluetooth, etc. It also handles amazingly well for a tuner and its acceleration is great too. Oh, and the interior is super relaxing to be in; the leather seats aren't too coarse or soft and there are just enough compartments to fit whatever equipment or paraphernalia I might bring on a drive. And the wagon's boot is just perfect for my super over-sized dog, we can even fit my sister's guitar, an amp and the dog at once!

very good value
2013 touring model petrol wagon .
Likes, upmarket interior and features, low servicing costs, excellent reliability .
Dislikes, road ( tyre ) noise, holds on to higher gears for fuel economy.
petrol engine lacks torque if fully loaded, you would need to try the diesel engine if that was your intended use.

Fantastic Car!!!
What an absolute pleasure to drive and with so much style. The efficiency is amazing and the features are very well thought through. Beautifully finished and since I purchase this car new, it has never missed a beat. Very spacious for the whole family and I love the responsiveness of the twin turbos.

I love this car
After much research we decided on purchasing a Mazda 6 wagon. It lives up to all of the great features promoted and more. Driving performance & handling is superb. Such a smooth ride.So economical to run. I love the istop and ieloop features. Roomy and comfortable and being the wagon version, the boot is huge, perfect for our dog. Push button start is awesome & the interior looks classy. Bluetooth, navigator, reversing camera, usb, aux.
Only complaint, seats are hard to clean, especially dog hair

Very nice car for touring
Engine has heaps of torque, excellent for long drives. Handles well but like most wagons the cornering isn't great. Road noise is good. Avg about 5.8litres/100km on long drives and a litle worse in town. Interior is very nice with leather finish. Reliability has be fine, a few minor niggles with the reversing sensors otherwise fantastic. Don't put petrol into it though (like my wife did) as it cost $16K to fix (all but $500 was covered by insurance). The fuel pump and injectors were $9k alone!!!

Excellent all round
I've kept my eye on the Mazda 6 range ever since it was introduced in the early 2000s. Finally took the plunge in 2014 and love almost everything about it. The 'zoom-zoom' factor really holds true as it really is a lot of fun to drive, especially around windy roads. The steering wheel feels very responsive, yet safe at the same time. Not the quietest of drives but good enough for me. Petrol usage is excellent and the flip-down rear seats is a life saver when I take my bicycles on the road with me. Although subjective, I love the exterior and in...Read more
terior design of the car. Everything feels very solid and made of good quality materials. The exterior design is still my favourite in the consumer car market to date. My only complaints: - Navigating the entertainment system is a pain due to bad UI design, especially when searching for MP3 music tracks on a USB device. A larger screen would also be nice. - Regular .m3u playlists are not recognised. Windows media player playlists are, but again a pain to convert between these formats. - GPS system is really slow/unresponsive - Voice commands are fiddly so I rarely use them - Bluetooth connection to my phones take a very long time before I can start playing music. - I had a problem with 2 of my Android phones where the in-car phone/voice system would on occasion not work when I tried making a call from the phone, resulting in me having to switch to the phone's handsfree/speaker mode. Receiving calls however always worked fine. - No easy way to tell whether the rain-sensing wiper mode is enabled. The mode dial/knob doesn't clearly show a line to indicate which mode is currently selected. Sometimes I thought I had the right mode selected, or accidentally changed it.Similar opinion?

Great car
Got a second hand Mazda 6 2014 for my first car.
Very happy with it, drink very little fuel, look beautiful after polish,
The new styling of the Mazda makes me wonder why would you ever buy other cars in its price range,
interior still works looks fresh unlike some other cars,
performance was bit lacking on higher rpm but that what you should expect
and car is very quiet when driving.

Pretty good
Bought a 2012 model 2nd hand with 130k on it. Really nice inside and pretty good entertainment system for it's age. Car looks much nicer than alternatives at a similar price. Auto is sluggish although I have always had manuals. Even the padels feel slow to respond. Has a bit of go when using the padels but doesn't set the world on fire. Happy with my purchase

I can not recommend this car enough
To say I love this car is an understatement . I bought this car with a car allowance from work as I work in sales and am in my car 80% of the day . I have had many company cars over the years and this compares to any I've had . As I drive all day I need a car that is comfortable, safe and responsive . The Mazda is all of that . I can not recommend this car enough

Hi Kian:
I don't own a GJ mazda 6 but i watched many reviews and all the car review people claim this car is a good car because it handles well, very safe and also good fuel economy. If you don't mind a long family sedan then i think you can't go wrong with the 6. However i helped my friend purchase a CX5 and in my opinion dollar to dollar the CX5 is better value because the boot is more practical and a bit shorter in length so parking a bit easier than the 6 but you don't really sacrifice a lot of room inside the car with the CX5. Hope this helps and good luck!
Thank you C.Liu for your response.
My 6 GJ just went to 100K a few days ago. The only and common issue is the "front lower control arms - rear bushes" need to be replaced. Does not affect the handling, but will get some noise when u go through the speed hump at a low speed. Solid chassis and smooth transmission. Combination fuel consume is 7.8L

Mazda 6 2016 SPORTS Sedan difficult to get into on drivers side has any one else had the same problem?
1 answer
I found this but the seat has two settings. When it is set for me I still have to get over the side contour which holds you in the seat firmer when driving. When the wife sets the seat for her and I get into the seat, I hit my head sometimes on the door opening. I would suggest setting your seat lower if you can and remember that the seat is designed that way to keep you from sliding around like a sports seat should. Otherwise I don't mind it because I am aware a bit more effort is needed when entering the driver's seat. Hope this helps.
