Our 2005 6 came with a sunroof deflector. I refer to a separate dark tinted plastic piece mounted atop the car. I'm debating removing it, at least for the winter season. I think it will come off easily, but not sure. The sunroof seems noisy compared to our previous car, a 99 Acura CL. It seems noisy to me either slid open or tilted. I also notice some low frequency noise if all side windows are closed and the roof is open. The CL didn't have this symptom. The CL did not have a deflector. I'm thinking the noise may be less without the deflector. Anyone else either added one, or removed one, or doesn't have one and thinks it is quiet with the roof open. It will be easier to wash the car without it mounted. Thanks, Scott.

These scratches are deep in many cases, and simply cannot be waxed or buffed out by hand. |

Replying to: pat (Sep 19, 2007 9:51 am) Oh well, I will have to dig them up again. I wanted it on record that I was the first one who posted the images / link the very day they were available.

my Mazda 6(a 2007 model) and its silver and its the i model sport value edition w/ wing spoiler. This car is for somebody in my opinion who wants a Acura TL or BMW 3 Series but doesn't have that sort of money. I have only had the car since Thursday but everything seems good. Build quality seems very tight with this car. Styling is top of the line. The steering is tight too but not as tight as when I first got my 2002 Acura CL(boy that steering when I first got the CL was very stiff) but the Mazda's steering seems alot more forgiving than the Acura's(when I first purchased the Acura.) I had a Mazda before the Acura(a 1998 626) but the build quality in the 2007 6 seems alot more tight than the 626's build quality. One thing I wish was better on the 6 is the use of interior plastics even the 6's older more grown up brother(the Ford Fusion) uses better plastics than the 6 does. I did consider the Fusion as well(as I said on this thread a couple weeks ago) but the Fusions exterior styling while good just didn;t do it for me like the 6's styling does it for me. I think I got a car in the 6 that is pretty close in driving dynamics to my old 2002 Acura CL that I totaled without having to spend a whole lot of money for it. |

Replying to: carguy58 (Sep 29, 2007 2:42 pm) What specifically do you find inferior about the plastics in the 6? My observations are the plastics are textured in an appealing manner, the dash pad is soft to touch i/o hard plastic in inexpensive vehicles. I grade the interior quality higher than Chrysler and lower than VW.
