Overview & Reviews

The completely redesigned 2009 Mazda 6 boasts upsized dimensions and powertrains that put it on par with segment leaders, yet it largely retains its distinctive fun-to-drive character.

• Roomy cabin, big trunk, muscular performance from V6, smooth automatic transmissions, relatively sporty handling.

• Mediocre fuel economy, some cheap interior materials, not as much "zoom-zoom" as enthusiasts might like.

  Looks Hot, Runs Hot - 2009 Mazda Mazda6
  By Tonebone1 - December 8 - 2:56 pm

  This is my second Mazda6. My first was was a 2006. I love to drive my Madza6, especially with the V6 it has. However, recently it has been running hot. I had to get it towed once because of this issue, and had to return it to the shop for the same thing a few days later. The service person advised me that it was a manufacturer defect. Needless to say, the car is still in the shop. Other than that, the car with its unique look, is fun to drive. Interior features can be improved like the Aux plug that is located in the armrest isnt convenient (why not put one on the radio). Folding mirrors with turn signal would be nice.

  6i Grand Touring - 2009 Mazda Mazda6
  By ctl - November 22 - 10:36 am

  After driving the Mazda6, none of the other cars I tested (Altima, Accord, Legacy, Camry) could match the combination of features/performance/style. The acceleration is better than I expected with a 4cyl and the suspension has an excellent balance between handling and comfort. The Michelin tires do squeal too early though. The dashboard is very intuitive and easy to use. The GT has more features than I know what to do with. I especially love the blue tooth connection for my cell phone. The only minor disappointment is the gas mileage. After 2 months, Im only getting 21 mpg in combo city/highway driving but thats a small price to pay for an excellent car.

  Mazda6 - 2009 Mazda Mazda6
  By Lisakaye - November 18 - 12:00 am

  You just cant beat this car on quality and performance....... Last car was a 05 mazda6. These are great cars. The 09 and up are bigger inside. (I didnt care) they are just great cars. Fast smooth reliable. And people will stare at the car wherever you go. Esp. The 09-10 models. People ask all the time "what kind of car is it?". Im sure Mazda would like everyone on the road in one. But it is kind of Nice that they are not everywhere. Makes them unique to drive. Dang how many times do I see a Camry or altima on the road? constantly. Would I Rather have one? no! We tested cars for 6 months before we got this one. You just cant beat it. Zoom zoom zoom. By the way. Its my third Mazda.

  Finally feel like a Dad! - 2009 Mazda Mazda6
  By gdogmoney - October 23 - 10:20 pm

  I bought this car with a 2-year old son in mind. I needed a four door car with a little sportiness to it. I found it in the 2009 Mazda 6. I was impressed with the overall design of this car. I considered it better than the American cars I saw on the road. It had the right amount of power for my taste and the amenities are extraordinary. I got the iTouring with the Bose system, it has some kick. The 2.5 4 suits me fine, but the fuel economy was a little lacking, but thats ok. The quality and design are the reason I got this car and I left the dealer feeling pretty satisfied.

  Our new 6 - 2009 Mazda Mazda6
  By Clif - October 16 - 9:40 pm

  Well, after 5 years and 76000 trouble free miles we traded in our 2004 Mazda6s for the new 2009 Mazda Grand Touring. Weve only had it 2 days but love it. Its as rock solid as our 04 but bigger, more comfortable and very powerful. We love the options like the navigation, Bluetooth, Bose system, Blind Spot Monitoring etc etc. It is much more comfortable than our old 6, but a bit bigger. Mazda managed to retain the sportiness and fun to drive aspect. I just hope it is as dependable as our 04 was. It was easy to return to Mazda, Weve owned 5 Mazdas in the last 20 years and they have been great with no issues. We havent had a bad one and look forward to our new long term test drive!

  Mazda got it right this time - 2009 Mazda Mazda6
  By Fly Fisher - September 26 - 1:43 pm

  Looked at everything out there for about a year and after I drove the Mazda knew it was the perfect car for me. If you love to drive but need a family sedan this car wins hands down over the competition. Power, handling, quality features and the best design out there make this a winner and I would recommend everyone test drive it before they buy.

  Value Plus - 2009 Mazda Mazda6
  By Discerning Dude - September 22 - 7:30 pm

  Had the car for 3 weeks now, replacing an 05 Altima. I do both highway and city driving, and this car has a ride quality you would find in a larger sedan but with power and maneuverability when you want it. Where the Altima was harsh and noisy, the Mazda exudes confidence, handling all road surfaces with ease. From a style standpoint, you cant beat the aggressive stance and overall lines - borrowing cues from Lexus and Infiniti isnt such a bad thing, and the design is hands down nicer than Camry or Accord, and the "happy face" grille of the Altima. Fuel economy is about the same as the Altima - its reasonable given the power and performance of the V6.

  Zoom Zoom Mazda 6 - 2009 Mazda Mazda6
  By jb26wcu - September 10 - 1:20 am

  I got a Black Mazda 6 3.7l V6 Gran Touring with Black Leather. I really believe the car is the best in its class. It has more styling than the accord, camry, malibu or altima. It is the fastest in its class too. If everyone in the market for an altima or accord test drove the mazda I believe it would out sell both. My sister has the v4 altima and the only thing that is better about her car then mine is I think the leather is of better quality in the altima. Other than that Mazda wins on every level!

  Love this car - 2009 Mazda Mazda6
  By Mistdreamr - July 24 - 1:06 am

  My first new car since 2001 and Im in love with it. I didnt intend to spend as much as I did, but once I sat in it and then drove it, I was hooked. So many things to love, the proximity keyless entry, the hands free Bluetooth, the great Bose sound system, the seats that cradle you,the sleek exterior lines that hint of speed, and of course, that "zoom zoom" driving feel. Never thought Id look forward to driving like this car makes me feel.
