today and it was a pretty good. Very tight steering but not a very wide turning circle when compared to my(former)Acura. Very nice view out and even the wing spoiler doesnlt block your view at all in the rear. I was expecting a big drop-off in terms of driving dynamics in the Mazda 6 when compared to the Acura but it wasn't that big of a drop-off. The 6 is heck alot of better to drive than the Cobalt I am renting now. Its not that I don;t like the Cobalt I just don;t like driving compact cars. Anyway when are the 2009 6's coming out I don;t know when I will be able to buy an 07 6 because my settlement check for the Acura hasn't come in(that I totaled) and have to wait for it to come in. Will the'll be 08 model year for the 6? |

Replying to: jeffyscott (Sep 13, 2007 6:39 pm) Well the Cobalt is a compact car so thats why I don't expect much out of it and its a GM small car at that. I will say though the Cobalt is a significant improvment over the Saturn SL1 that I drove 5 years ago as a rental. I did not like the Saturn that I rented 5 years ago. The Cobalt at least has competent handling and the interior is alright but still not class leading at all. The sound system is ok.

Replying to: mz6greyghost (Sep 14, 2007 5:15 am) Like when is the 09 6 coming onto Mazda dealers lots? The salesman who I took the test drive with said I think that Janurary of 09 that the 09 6 will come out. Basically I;m wondering how long Mazda dealers will be selling 08 6's before the redesigned 09 model comes out?

Replying to: carguy58 (Sep 14, 2007 1:27 pm) Anyway, I was real glad to get back in my Mazda6...I was thinking "wow, I really have a nice car"...of course, it did cost a few thousand more than a cobalt. |

Replying to: carguy58 (Sep 14, 2007 1:30 pm) Well, I've heard as early as January to as late as June. Either way, I'm sure there will be enough '08 models on the lots to last the entire 2008 calendar year.
