It's simple, not a lot of the whole smart tech but it does have bluetooth
It's very reliable, we haven't had it break down on us once in the few years we've had it.

Great gas mileage but susceptible of wear and tear.
The gas mileage and interior accessories have been great. This is mainly why I bought the car. My only complaint is regarding the maintenance. After around 40, 000 miles, I had to replace the brakes and rotors on all 4 wheels. This seemed early and was an unexpected cost.

Mazda 6 is a great car for the money.
No major problems at 135k miles, tires are pricey for 19' wheels, fantastic value, adequate power, Bose sound system is very good, interior holds up well with age, good fuel economy being about 30 mpg combined, infotainment is okay it really dates the car, repairs are inexpensive.

Good and reliable car to drive for work.
Not many problems with my vehicle, bought it second handed with 90000 miles on it in 2019. No issue with the car and enjoy riding in it. Not many problems with my vehicle, bought it second handed with 90000 miles on it in 2019. No issue with the car and enjoy riding in it.

Sporty family vehicle for the business professional.
Extremely reliable. Great gas mileage, not high performance but solid for a commuter. Fits 4 comfortably and has a large trunk.

This car has it all. For a great price to.
My 2015 Mazda 6 touring is the best car that I have owned in my life. I love the style of the outside very much. It is sporty looking and modern at the same time. The Mazda 6 looks great on the inside as well. The driver's seat is very comfortable for me. The car drives well gets great gas mileage to. The car had everything I was looking for and I was happy to have found it and to buy it also. I still enjoy driving it every day.

Great car - fast and reliable.
Great car, reliable. Not much mechanical work needs to be done. Brakes and pads need to be changed but that's normal with any car. Fast, comfortable. GPS included. No real complaints to be made about the Mazda 6 sport vehicle. Highly recommend this car to anyone who is looking for one.

Mazda. Overpriced junk. Keep away
This car quality is terrible. And so aren't the replacement parts. Over priced and junk. Worst purchase ever

My 2015 Mazda 6 is a gorgeous color.
I have a 2015, royal bluish Mazda 6. It's not a car for tall people. I am pretty short and it looks small to me from the inside. It drives well so far and I love that mine has black suede seats. The stereo does not have the modern screen but you can adjust the seating electronically.
accountCircle Abigail K
Good stereo system. Front wheel drive.
It is pretty reliable overall. It runs perfectly and has good gas mileage. I do want a bigger SUV at the moment so that I feel safer driving around in the cold weather in a more heavy duty car. Mazda's have always been very reliable and work great for a small family.

My Mazda 6 - sporty but hard to drive!
I like the car itself, but my particular vehicle has been having issues with the tire pressure sensor going off when there are no issues going on. This has been happening since I bought my car (I bought it used from the dealership). Also, I don't like how far forward you sit in this car - I used to have a Camry and you'd sit relatively far back. Since the Mazda 6 is considered a sportier car, the pedals are very far forward and I need to sit up, which makes it harder for me to see my mirrors for safety. Also the door sills are quite high, hindering my peripheral sight a bit. Even when I raise the chair, it's still harder to see.

It doesn't have an option for a larger engine, only comes in a 4 cylinder
I love the styling of the vehicle, particularly the exterior styling, and I like the gas mileage. I don't like that it only comes in a 4 cylinder engine, I prefer at least a V6, as it sounds a little wimpy most times though it is fun to drive. I also hate the built-in navigation system, it is not user friendly...I never use it and always use my GPS apps on my phone and hook it up via Bluetooth. I do like the various tech features like the back up camera, blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning system, etc.

IT IS A SIX SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. IT DOES ZOOM ZOOM
IT'S UNCOMFORTABLE FOR LONG TRIPS. IT'S FUN TO DRIVE. EMERGENCY BRAKE DOESN'T WORK
accountCircle Fallon K
The gas mileage is the best, I only have to fill up every two weeks
I love my Mazda 6, I've had it for a little 4 years, it's great on gas mileage gets me to and from work and where I need to bring my children. It's low maintenance with having to update something on your vehicle. Only downside is if you get a flat tire your tires have to be special ordered and most likely cannot be fixed the day off, May take up to 1/2 weeks for them to arrive.
accountCircle Beatrice B
The vehicle feels safe and drives smoothly.
This car is pretty reliable the only thing is the maintenance of the vehicle can get pretty expensive. The car is somewhat decent on gas but it is a mid sized sedan so I would be aware of that. The car feels pretty safe, and has quality safety features.

The charging port inside the center console comes in handy!
It is the most reliable car I have owned, and I get excited every time I see it. Let alone is it comfortable when going on a long drive with a good stereo! And I personally love knob feature in between the driver and passenger to change the audio, navigation, etc through there instead of reaching to the screen!
accountCircle Maria G on June 22, 2021
Mazda 6 is a four doors vehicle. It seats 5 people. Blind spots monitoring. It has power windows, great gas mileage, very dependable and reliable.
It's bigger than it looks. It is very good on gas mileage!

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Jeffrey R.

The pros are that this car is very easy to handle. Extremely easy to maintain, regular oil changes are the key. Great gas mileage in relation to city, highway driving. Cabin area is ample room for a tall or medium size person. Plenty of space IN trunk area and with fold down rear passenger seats makes it easier for transporting.

likeFilled Kim B.

The pros of my vehicle are: being comfortable, being affordable, I absolutely love the extras, has an extremely smooth ride. I love the sporty look of my Mazda 6. Everyone I know loves my vehicle. It is great.

likeFilled Bob C.

Blind spot finding back view camera audio and leather interior all of the other trims come equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission, which proves to be just as impressive. Critics applaud the automatic transmission for its quick and accurate gear shifts. Even at low speeds, the transmission responds instantly. Activating the sport mode allows you to experience more fun.

likeFilled Patrick M.

Quiet drive on highway and city streets, motion sensors all around the car, rear camera for backing up, mileage is great, 6 hrs on highway before needing to refuel, maintaining is very minimal and sensors alert to maintenance needs.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Jeffrey R.

I have two Mazda's that I am terribly pleased with, so I can honestly say on this matter that I can think of no cons. But if I was forced to come up with one, I would have to say that I do not like the fact that on my 2015, I cannot lock my glove compartment. This may be due to the keyless remote system.

dislikeFilled Kim B.

There are not many things that I do not like about my vehicle, it is spacious, especially for a car, but I do wish to trade it in for a full size SUV within the next year. I wish that I could have all of the same features and look but in a full size SUV.

dislikeFilled Bob C.

Mpg sports-calibrated suspension causes you to feel just a few more vibrations from the road surface. Front-wheel drive comes equipped on every new mazda6. While front-wheel drive typically performs well in light snow and rain, you'll likely experience reduced traction in heavy snow. Folks who need more grip on slippery roads should check out rivals like the 2019 Nissan.

dislikeFilled Patrick M.

I don't have many cons for this vehicle. Add to replace tires a vehicle has not rode the same since. Sensors to detect objects are not always accurately alerting to close contact. Otherwise not much to else to report on this.
