The top part of the interiors plastics with the exception of the plastics above the dash and the quality of plastic used on the glove box. The plastics/fabrics on the doors of the car are very rich though. The plastic that surrounds the radio area and the cup holder is pretty good though so I guess the 6's interior isn;t that bad of quality but they forgot to put good pieces plastics on the basically the whole top portion area of the plastics with the exception of the plastic above the dash area.
 
you totally lost me here.
 
The dash is not made of plastic but rubber (same as Lexus RX-350).
The glove box and door panels are plastic.
 
which one you don't like?

6 Speed Automatice Transmission Issue by sugarland

I own a 2007 Mazda 6, V6, with the 6 Speed Automatic Transmission. If I perform a California stop, meaning rolling at 3-5 MPH through a stop sigh and then accelerate, my engine will rev up a little, and the transmission will engage in second gear. When the transmission engages, it also makes the car lurch forward a little. Once in second gear the car will shift through the other gears without a problem. If I start the car from a complete stop, the transmission will shift through all gears without a problem. I have owned other automatic transmission cars before with never did this. I am wondering if other 6 speed transmission owners have experience this as well. I want to know if there is something wrong with my transmission. The car only has 300 miles on it.

Hi Sugarland
 
I have a similiar problem (2006 6 Sport V6 with 6 speed auto). I also have a delay in response from when I hit the accelerator (not hard, just from a rolling start like at a stop sign).
 
Anyone else have this problem?
 
I read other posts from 2005 6 owners who had a software reflash at the Mazda dealership but I have not read of any 2006 owners complaining of this problem.
 
Other people I talk to (not necessarily mazda owners) tell me it is related to teh drive by wire. A friend of mine drove a Lexus E350 and complained of a terrible lag when the accelerator was pushed.

Does it cool adequately in 100+ degree temps? Does 4 cylinder and V6 motor have same cooling capacity?

I have the same problem (2006 Mazda6 with V6 and 6 speed auto), it annoys the hell out of me in the city, I should have got a manual transmission.

It's excellent, more than adequate in Las Vegas, which as you know, is hotter than hell.

My A/C on my 2007 seemed kind of weak last year. I am planning to ask about it when it is in for an oil change in summer.

You may want to do:
 
1. Get the latest PCM flash
2. Check the intake manifold gasket for any leaks.

Trouble selling the 6 by srhnk401

Has anyone else had a very difficult time selling their Mazda6? I own a 2006 Sport Sedan with 30k miles, in great-excellent condition both inside and out. With the exception of leather, this car is equipped like a GT. I've posted the vehicle on Craig's List, Cars.com and Autotrader. I've priced the car between suggested trade-in and private party values and still can't get rid of it. Am I the only one that is going through this? Suggestions, opinions, related issues all appreciated.
