Goodbye 10th gen family

I saw the video. The Mazda 6 is a nice car, but here in China it is not available with manual transmission so I never considered it, especially because the most popular engine is the 2.0 NA 158 hp, which is really too slow for such a big sedan and the 2.5 becomes pricey.

had alot of tranny issues with the car, got shitty gas milleage, i actually pay less with my civic SI on premium then i did on my mazda with regualr.. lol saving money. Interior parts were falling off left and right with no abuse done, the passenger side vanity mirror cover the spring broke, the e brake button randomly broke off one day, so i had to shove my finger in there to get the e brake off, valve cover gasket broke leaking oil into the spark plugs, the rotors constantly were getting warped, while being easy on the brakes, not sure what was wrong with that braking system on that car, it was just a disaster and a half and on top of all that i couldnt get out of it for the longest time becuase the value of the car flew down so quickly on the car, i actually put 2k of negative equity into the SI. it was the perfect ending... as i was driving to the dealership after everything was already said and done and the car was appriased, my sunglass holder fell off randomly, the dealer never noticed.. it was just an auction car for them.. to say the least i will never buy another mazda again.. or atleast it would have to be a lot of convincing. I have drove the new one and it drives nice, but i do look the power and handling of the civic a lot more

Have fun paying for premium gas to get the most performance from the 6.

The Accord will still beat it and is a much, much better car.

Premium is like $2 more per fill up, I have an SI 2017 and i pay maybe $2.50 more per fill up, plus premium is better for your engine...

Premium is only 25 cents more where you live?

It's the same for me here in Cali, it's about 30 cents more for me

Yeah, my regular unleaded 87 in MN is $2.56 right and my premium Unleaded 92 octane is $2.71

Yeah its like 15 cents more a gallon for premium 92 octane vs 87 octane

 

[Speeder92]

Yeah, my regular unleaded 87 in MN is $2.56 right and my premium Unleaded 92 octane is $2.71

I wish it was 2.71 here! I pay about 3.40 a gallon using only chevron or shell

Out of curiosity, what did they give for your Civic?

As someone who owned a turbo Mazdaspeed 6 in my 20's, I can say that the 2.3L turbo AWD on the Mazdaspeed 6 is definitely an Civic X ass-kicker (excluding the new TypeR). For a 2006 Mazda, it was very well built and top notch interior/exterior quality. However, dual-clutch engagement was choppy and there were a lot of turbo leaks all over the forums. I had my turbo and clutch flywheel replaced under warranty within 3 years. No wonder they only produced that car for 2 years and stopped production. Glad to hear they are attempting to bring back a turbo 6 for 2018 and hopefully all the kinks and problems are sorted out...it was fun while it lasted!
