Good spacious car

published

The car is cool to drive and I enjoy it . It has sufficient airbags to protect ALL passengers.
The cabin height of drivers seat could have been bit more spacious. It is tough to perform head checks if you have decent height as the head touches the top even with the seat at it lowest position.

Overall good

published

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.

Love the Mazda 6!

published

This Mazda 6 was my third car and I absolutely love it.
It's so smooth to drive and handles very well.
It takes off quickly at lights and lives it up the zoom zoom Mazda slogan.
The fuel is efficient. I drive it everyday and only have to fill up around every 3-4 weeks.
The engine is very quiet and the brake system is well designed.
I've had this car for 1 1/2 years and haven't had any major issues.
The boot is huge.
The sound system has nice bass.
It would be great if it had bluetooth but it's a 2007 model so it wasn't as popular back then. It could be customised for this option by a mechanic.

In the end, I would recommend the Mazda 6 to anyone looking for a new car.

Really Fuel Efficient and a Pleasure to Drive

published

My first ever Mazda. Low KMs and tidy.
I don't think I will ever own anything else. Fuel efficient. Easy to drive. I own a wagon but even then it's not huge and I find it easy to reverse parallel park.

Plently of leg room in the front and back.
So far so good. Let's see what this year brings.

Good Car with Skyactiv tech!

published

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.

Great car terrible customer service

published

Melting dashboard issues were rejected for a number of years blaming the owners - this may be getting resolved soon but Mazda are poor with communications.
Safety issue with drivers seat collapsing will become a safety recall but until then it's up to the owner!
Airbag control module failure has prompted a safety recall in USA but over here not a murmer.
As I said great car despite those problems but I'd hardly call that great service.

Mazda 6 Sport Wagon - Tops!

published

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

published

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.

Excellent fun to drive car which doesn’t break the bank with fuel economy

published

Upgrading from a Toyota Camry this car was an entire league ahead in terms of features and performance. The handling is excellent, it turns around corners with excellent traction, the dashboard is very clear and easy to read, the seats are superbly comfortable, the maintenance is very affordable and there’s plenty of room in the boot. This is a car which is well made, fun to drive and surprisingly fuel efficient. The only complaint I would have is that the classic is a little low to the ground, so ocasionally it hiccups over large speed bumps. But apart from that, it’s an exceptional car and well worth buying.

Better than a luxury car

published

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

published

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!

Best car owned

published

Love this car, first car bought new that has absolutely no faults, now done over 90000 klms, only trouble is that the car has been so good that my wife refuses to trade up to another car. Like the pin point steering, changed the multimedia unit in the first week of ownership that provided reverse camera, Sat Nav, DVD player etc, which I recommend.

very good value

published

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.

6 GH (2008-2012)

My Mazda 6 hatch GH, 2010 luxury sports model, (sunroof, leather seats, navigation system etc) passenger side dash has just recently started "melting" after being parked in the sun (Brisbane QLD) for a few hours over several days. This car is garaged every night, when at head office it is parked under shade sails or totally undercover. It has 96000 km on the clock. Not a lot of Kilometers as I have another older Mazda 626 that I use for a lot of other tasks, such as parking at bus stations, etc. Is Mazda Australia replacing these obviously faulty dash's? Mine is under ten years old and in America they accepted the fault and extended the warranty to ten years for the dash. I see the Mazda 3 also has the same problem as well. Seen footage where Current Affairs in New Zealand got involved for a owner who was ignored from the start and the issue was resolved free of charge, after their involvement. I had the previous Mazda 6 Hatch 2006, model GG from new and never had an issue with it. Only sold it last year, 2022. If they are not willing to fix it I doubt I will buy another new Mazda. Will they replace it? It should be done free of charge.

Update, went to Mazda Mt Gravatt (QLD) today (28/01/2020) and they are going to fit a new passenger side dash on Friday (31/01/2020). That is the section of dash that is affected, in three days time at no charge. Excellent response, Zoom, Zoom Mazda.
