2010 Mazda MAZDA6 User Reviews

Pros

safety, roomy, excellent driving dynamics, blind spot monitoring system rocks

Cons

rear passengers' heads are too exposed

Purchased As New

Bought the car couple of weeks ago, has racked up 1100 miles since. Cannot say much about long term reliability, but very satisfied overall and happy with the purchase.

Chose Mazda6 for its safety features. It has 5-star NHTSA crash ratings in every category. I have also read from somewhere that Mazda6 is relatively cheaper to fix after a low speed fender bender due to its excellent design. And, just love the blind spot monitoring system. Occasionally it gives false positive results, but works very well most of the time - part of our triple defense strategies (convex mirror, BSM and look-over-the-shoulder).

In terms of driving dynamics: it is fun to drive this car, corners well. Ride is very comfortable and smooth.

Interior: lots of space everywhere, and it has a huge trunk.

Exterior: sexy to look at.

We'd like to have dealership to adjust few default settings, for example the auto lock is activated for only 30 seconds, way to short for us. If there is any minor complaints, here they are:
1) fastback roof-line has its aerodynamic advantages, but it exposes the rear passengers to the direct sunlight.
2) trunk mat is useless, should have provided a rubberized trunk tray instead.
3) not enough storage pockets in the front....read morehide
