Mazda 6 GJ Sedan (2013-2016)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

1. Handling, smooth; understeer, disconnected from the road.
2. Performance, 2.2litre twin turbo diesel: smooth and perky, at times feels like a petrol, noisy.
3. Noise, lots of road and wind noise penetrating the cabin.
4. Easy to navigate dash unit, plenty of leg room, boot space is good in the X and Y dimension but falls short on the Z dimension.
5. Reliability: 4 years so far, nil issues. Ask a mechanic, my individual report is not a big enough sample size.
6. Diesel true litres/100km is about 6.9 with the air conditioning cranked up with 50% high way and 50% town driving.

The car is VERY quiet. Handles very good, although it has 17inch wheels. Plenty of power when needed and going along the hwy uses about 5 litres of fuel per 100kms. Like the auto wipers, lights and mirror. The lights follow the direction of the steering wheel.
Bad things: very expensive to change the oil. The 10 liter container will cost around $140. The radio has no volume that adjust to speed of the vehicle.

So far so good. Haven't had any major problems as I do an enormous amount of driving. A couple of other cars I have owned haven't been able to keep up the pace but this little beauty seems to handle well, which in my line of work is always a blessing.

thanks mazda :)

Purchased this car second hand, and it did everything i wanted it to. It just didn't do anything well.
Love the look, love the premium feel & all the features, plus very safe and advanced safety features for the year model.
We did have a few issues, that were all rectified quickly by the company. The keyless entry system needed maintenance, the front door subwoofers needed replacing, fuel average was higher than it said it was, even driving like a grandma, but still much better than petrol equivalent. Road noise is my main complaint though and i don't understand when people say interior room is huge..its tiny!
Despite the growing list of flaws i found in this car, i still love it.

Tow truck drivers have reported a high level of failure with the push button start ignition switch.
Some tow truck drivers have reported they have had numerous call outs to to pick up these cars .
Owners have been stranded due to the push button ignition failing to start the car.

The inconvenience and towing expenses are a bad refection on this new ignition system.

I replaced (just ten days ago) my 2013 Mazda 6 Touring with the most up to date 2017 Mazda 6 Touring. The changes to the new vehicle are excellent and the car is a dream to drive. Even though my 2013 vehicle had only done 41,500km without any problems I was keen to update to this latest model. The added safety features are more than a bonus. Reversing camera is definitely sharper than my previous one. The sound system has definitely improved. Leather seats are comfortable for both driver and passengers. I have owned Mazda 626 and various Mazda 6 since 1982 and nothing would induce me to change to another brand as I believe Mazda produces an excellent car which would be hard to beat in this price range.
