Replying to: moparbad (Sep 08, 2008 9:02 am) It would be great if Mazda would develop a small SUV or Crossover to compete with Tiguan, RAV4, CRV size vehicles instead of using Ford's Escape.   Rumor is the CX-5 is coming...built off of the Ford Kuga platform (from Europe of course) Check out the Mazda Kazamai concept unveiled at the Moscow show. Add two doors and tone down the styling.   Dave

Replying to: aviboy97 (Sep 08, 2008 7:22 am) I have been a so-called naysayer about the V6 epa mgp ratings and still believe it is not good for Mazda to be several points under in that category. I have lauded the new Mazda6 in this forum many times but still feel that this hurts from a marketing viewpoint as the average midsize buyer doesn't spend time on these forums but do see the window stickers.   I hope other professional reviews come up with higher than epa averages for the Mazda6 V6 as well as customer "real world" feedback. It would make me more comforatable in considering the purchase of it. However, the vast majority of people still look at and compare vehicles by the EPA ratings and I still believe it was a mistake to from a marketing standpoint not to place more emphasis on being more competitive in that area.   Before anyone starts beating their chest....let's wait to see other examples of this much better fuel economy we can gather.

Replying to: moparbad (Sep 08, 2008 9:02 am) It is not ridiculous to correlate the B-Series in the brand image, because organizations take into account all the vehicles the brand sells. The B-Series sells about 1,500 units/ year. While I think it's pointless to even consider them in a reliability survey, they are always included, especially with CR and JD Powers.   Mazda does have a crossover that competes with the Tiguan, RAV and CRV, It's called the CX-7. It's less expensive then the Tiguan when comparably equipped and the CX-7 has far more power and more features.

Replying to: m6user (Sep 08, 2008 9:33 am) I also believe that the EPA estimates on the window sticker could hurt potential sales. However, I am stunned at the fact that it got better "real world" fuel economy then both Accord and Altima. While Edmunds testing may not be what many owners may experience, it is a fair and balanced test because all vehicles were tested in the same conditions and went through the same tests and Mazda came out on top.

Replying to: rupbre (Sep 08, 2008 1:02 pm) It would be nice if the 2009 Mazda6 owners would post in the "real world mpg" thread as well.

Replying to: keitha3 (Sep 07, 2008 5:45 pm) Keith,   Good luck on your purchase. I've had a CX-9 for a year now and I'm perfectly happy so far with it. Especially every time when I get to drive it on the back roads I know it's too early to talk much about in terms of reliability, but no problems what so ever till now. Both my sales dealer and the service dealer (two different ones) have been quite friendly.

Replying to: jeffb1124 (Sep 07, 2008 5:48 pm) Actually it is not true that I think every Mazda is junk, I wish people on here would stop making assumptions about what cars I have or haven't test driven or what I think.   Jeff are you are dealer? Just curious.   It wasn't a question of me having been unlucky, there are lots of Mazda customers in the same position as me, why do you think CR took years before they even rated the Mazda6 average, or are they just imagining things?

Replying to: aviboy97 (Sep 07, 2008 7:53 pm) That is great information on transmissions, I didn't know that.   So who makes a reliable transmission? Is there such a thing? Replies to this message: moveover (Sep 08, 2008 8:19 pm)
