Why doesn't this vehicle have heated front seats (they only cost a tenner or so at manufacturing time) and why doesn't it have electric front seats with memory (it is particularly annoying to have to try and reset the seat after the garage has had the car and adjusted it to their liking)! Again electric front seats don;t really cost anything much to build in. see full Mazda Mazda6 review |

This is not the fastest car, especially in manual trans trim. Here where your shifting skill counts. But it is smooth. Good powertrain for the class. see full Mazda Mazda6 review |

The engine with auto transmission is the best powertrain I've driven, ever. I've driven mostly manual trannys because of the directness and feedback. But I've tired of shifting. This transmission is flawless. It holds onto a gear if you're turning, it downshifts if you're in cruise and it goes faster than the setting, and it almost always chooses the best gear. I didn't get the grand touring finish level because of price, and I know that one has settings for normal and sporty driving, along with shift paddles on the steering wheel. While I wish I had paddles, I don't mind using the manual feature on the shifter. Works great. This is a big part of why SkyActive works so well. It's a lot lighter, and all gears but first are direct, with no fluid slip. Amazing. see full Mazda Mazda6 review |

There is one gripes with it though. It is so tuned for fuel economy that you shift 5 times before 42 mpg under normal acceleration. Really, Mazda? Would be much better to have gear spacing so that you drive as normal 5-speed and then at around 55mph go into 6th. Ok, I learned to avoid this junk. Just go like normal 1,2,3,4 and then 6. Or on 35mph road you can drive from 3rd to 5th. Otherwise it is just too much shifting. At one point I started seriously doubt this purchase but once I started to skip some gears everything fell into place. see full Mazda Mazda6 review |

Why is there no spare tyre? The space saver is hideously expensive - if you don't get it you get a can of gunk which will certainly destroy your tyre meaning every puncture requires a new tyre, and it may not solve your puncture problem. In addition the spare wheel well is not large enough to accomodate a full size steel spare (in the UK this costs about ?95 including tyre and wheel). Why not - a genuine spare would cost Mazda ?50 at the very, very most and everyone one would buy it. see full Mazda Mazda6 review |
