2018 Mazda6 Signature Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh The Honda Accord also has a highway fuel economy edge thanks to its smaller engine and ten-speed (vs. six-speed) automatic transmission. Although both cars scored 23 mpg in the EPA's city test, on the highway the Mazda trails by three mpg, 31 vs. 34. In my suburban driving I... Comparison vehicle: 2019 Honda Accord |

2017 Mazda Mazda6 Pros and Cons Member5080 I've been averaging over 30 mpg per tank at the pump. Computer usually 1mpg too generous. On some trips I've seen 40 mpgs. My is MT and it is rated considerably lower than AT. But in my book it is good since I've done same mileage in my 2011 Mazda3,... |

Well done, good and faithful servant 2004 Mazda Mazda6 Pros and Cons mdhasty Rarely got out of the mid-20s, even on long road trips by myself. I expected better from a 4-cylinder engine, even in a car this size. Again, my 1994 Honda Accord did better, routinely cracking 30 MPG on road trips. |

2016 Mazda Mazda6 Pros and Cons Member5034 This vehicle is a petrol automatic and the fuel economy is not too bad - around town its pretty good but out on the Motorway at 70 - 80 mph it is hardly any better than my previous 15 year old Volvo S80 petrol automaticwhich had a 5 cylinder 2.4... |

2016 Mazda Mazda6 Pros and Cons Member5034 The fuel economy on this car is pretty good in my opinion. Its a petrol automatic and if I do half a tank of fuel on Motorways with the speedo at 80 - 85 and the rest of the tank around town I will see 40 MPG. I don;t think... |

2015 Volkswagen Passat 1.8T Sport Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Though as powerful as the 170-horse 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine it replaced, and stronger through the midrange, the Passat's new 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine earns significantly better EPA fuel economy ratings: 24 mpg city and 35 mpg highway vs. 22 and 32, respectively. Fitted with the six-speed automatic transmission, the difference... Comparison vehicle: 2014 Mazda Mazda6 |

A sports sedan alternative worth consideration. 33k - still pleased overall. Tight getting in and out, the door wdow frames are shrt, making the top low. I hit my head on roof 2014 Mazda Mazda6 Pros and Cons abiesalba1 I regularly get 33-34 mpg commuting 35-55 mph with some stop and go driving distances of 30+ miles each way. Constant speed driving on interstates through central PA, DC, VA, CT, RI, with seldom slow traffic backups, the car gets 36-37 mpg. Usually set at about 3-4 miles over posted... |

2007 Mazda Mazda6 Pros and Cons Member5934 The Ford 3.0L engine isn't particular good on gas, nor is it particularly powerful |

2014 Mazda6 Sport Review (manual transmission) Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh This year every Mazda6 has a 184-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine under its hood. The 2013's less powerful (170hp) 2.5-liter four managed only 21 mpg city, 30 highway. The 2014 does far better: 26/38 with the automatic transmission and 25/37 with the manual. When fitted with a 178-horsepower 1.6-liter... Comparison vehicle: 2013 Ford Fusion |

2014 Mazda Mazda6 Pros and Cons Member5854 Fuel economy over 71k has been 32.1 MPG. Pretty darn good for a non-hybrid and driving 75-85 mph pretty consistently. |

Good practical car, and good looking too! 2004 Mazda Mazda6 Pros and Cons Member5709 Not real happy with MPG. I get around 25 on the highway, about the same as my Pontiac Montana I used to own. |

2014 Mazda 6 review - Minnesota 2014 Mazda Mazda6 Pros and Cons Member5860 Fuel economy is good but not as good as Mazda claims, in 9 months I'm averaging about 28 MPG combined in 60/40 city to highway driving and now in the winter months here in Minnesota, where you need to let the vehicle warm up for a minute or two in... |

4 years of MazdaSpeed 6 ownership 2007 Mazda Mazda6 Pros and Cons Member2974 24 MPg in the winter and 27 in the summer is not bad for a sedan that can do 140 mph (as fast as I have gone in the thing. Compared to SkyActive not great but then the newer Mazda’s are about flue economy more than performance. |
|
2004 Mazda Mazda6 Pros and Cons A member in Manitoba, Canada terrible fuel consumption for the performance, never below 8.5l/100km hwy or 11l city, equal size European or Asian market vehicles use 20-30% less at comparable performance, if you're looking for fuel economy look elsewhere as this is the smallest engine for this car |

2013 Hyundai Sonata SE Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh In fuel economy as well the 2013 Hyundai Sonata has lost an earlier lead. EPA ratings of 24 mpg city, 35 highway, impressive two years ago, can't match the 2014 Mazda6's 26/38 or the 2013 Altima's 27/38 today. The trip computer reported about 25 in my regular suburban driving, a... Comparison vehicle: 2014 Mazda Mazda6 |

Mazda 6 - Capable, Comfortable, Affordable 2006 Mazda Mazda6 Pros and Cons Member5761 The only minor complaints I have about this car comes from the engine. It puts out slightly less horsepower than racing engines of the same size, but eats just as much gas, roughly 15% more than I expected from an engine this size.<br /> <br /> This is something Mazda... |
|
2014 Mazda 6 2014 Mazda Mazda6 Pros and Cons Member5526 26/38 rating is better than other sedans in its class. Averaging 32 with daily up and down mountain treks. Car maintains speed well and uses little gas keeping speed up. |
|
2014 Mazda6 Grand Touring Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Mazda figured out that performance without efficiency is no longer viable even for many driving enthusiasts. Hence the second focus of SKYACTIV: superior fuel economy. The V6 engine, with its segment-trailing EPA ratings of 18 mpg city, 27 highway, is gone. While a diesel has been promised as a future...

Mazdaspeed 6 Review 2006 Mazda Mazda6 Pros and Cons Member906 I have kept a spreadsheet of the car's fuel economy since the car was brand new. Never made less than 20 mpg, average around 22-23 with city/highway mix. Best fuel economy strictly highway driving was 27.xx mpg. That's pretty impressive to me considering the power this car... |
|
2006 Mazda Mazda6 Pros and Cons Member4753 Not necessarily a dislike, just a natural trade off for having 270 horsepower on tap. Averaging 22mpg with mostly city and traffic driving. It actually still bests my old 00 VW Golf turbo, which typically mustered only 20mpg with half the horsepower! |
|
2009 Mazda Mazda6 Pros and Cons Member3987 The fuel economy is in the upper range of the norm for this class of car. |

2009 Mazda Mazda6 Pros and Cons Member3762 So far seems higher than EPA estimates. Gearing close so that I can drive 30-40 around town in 5ht or even 6th. 6th should be further out to improve mileage even more. |
|
2009 Mazda Mazda6 Pros and Cons Member3636 i like the power feeling which that engine can provide only above 4000 rpms, and than it drinks :) |
|
2009 Mazda Mazda6 Pros and Cons Member3591 28.5 mpg. Driving to the interstate, taking the interstate to the other side of town, then driving to work (or home). |
