#1405 of 2118 Re: Have to decide soon [surfing19] by cecilt1 Oct 11, 2008 (9:23 am)
Replying to: surfing19 (Oct 11, 2008 6:22 am) My '06 TL straight highway at 75-85 will get 30 - 32 mpg. Around town with some highway use it is typically 22-25. I don't live in a metropolitan area so not faced with bumper to bumper traffic but if I was it would probably be lowe 20's combined. Replies to this message: cecilt1 (Oct 11, 2008 1:36 pm)

Replying to: cecilt1 (Oct 11, 2008 9:23 am) Drove the 6i GT 6 speed and the 6sGT. The 4banger was too noisy and not quick enough or at least not quick enough for me. I thought it was a good car and it drove and handled well. Just too much whine from the engine filtering into the cabin as you wind it out. The S was much better. Good accelration. Felt strong, no torque steer. Fit and finsih were pretty good. Not on par with my TL but good none the less. I think Mazda has a winner with this car against the Camry, Accord and Altima but I think the TL is more luxurious. I am going to keep it on my short list though. This car has a great price for what you get.
#1407 of 2118 S Plan From The Factory? by ohblue Oct 11, 2008 (2:37 pm)
Can the S-plan be applied if the car I want can only be ordered from the factory? I've checked the inventory of every dealer 100 miles from my house and no luck. I'd rather order what I want and have it delivered from the factory than have them do a dealer swap and have some guy abusing my car driving it to a closer dealer.

Replying to: ohblue (Oct 11, 2008 2:37 pm) You can order from the factory and still qualify for the s-plan pricing. Here is a link to Mazda going over the terms for the s-plan:   S-plan Explained Replies to this message: ohblue (Oct 11, 2008 4:36 pm)

Replying to: atlantabenny (Oct 11, 2008 5:37 am) > In comparison, I've never had to floor my wife's 03 Accord 4-cyl to motivate the car quickly.   This is because it has lots of torque low down. The downside will be that it will not be fun revving the engine to redline.
#1411 of 2118 Redline on 6 I by yankeekm91 Oct 11, 2008 (5:43 pm)
I have a 6 i Touring and I was wondering what the engine redline is. The tach goes up to 7000 but there is no "red" portion. Is that because the engine redlines at 7000 and Mazda decided to to max the tach out at that? Or does redline occur before that mark and Mazda decided not to label the redline RPM?   To the guy who said that you must floor it to motivate the car to move quickly, I disagree. In my experience, holding the throttle halfway is more than sufficient to "motivate" the engine. Replies to this message: aviboy97 (Oct 11, 2008 5:58 pm) atlantabenny (Oct 12, 2008 5:55 am)

Replying to: yankeekm91 (Oct 11, 2008 5:43 pm) The tach goes up to 7000 but there is no "red" portion.   Yes there is. You need to look closely. At 6,200 rpm's (I believe) the red hash marks become thicker all the way to the end of the tach....there is your red line.
#1413 of 2118 Dash by jason777 Oct 11, 2008 (6:50 pm)
I test drove the Mazda today, I liked everything but the dash, I think compared to my 2004 Mazda6 it is ugly. They should take a look at Infinitis designs. They have much better dashes. The V6 engine is scary fast, it felt faster than a G35 although at 305 vs 272 I can't imagine how it could be.

Replying to: yankeekm91 (Oct 11, 2008 5:43 pm) I'll probably test-drive it again. First impressions might have been skewed by having just come out of a more powerful car and approx. 400 lbs of passenger weight.
