Hello Mazda fans! I have test driven a 2009 Mazda 6 i GT this weekend and of course fell in love with it. My question is about the mileage. My i 2.5 4 cylinder test car after 100 miles is only showing a 17.5 mpg average. Is this typical for breaking it in? Will it get better? Please give me your mileage numbers on this i engine and the s engine with the 6 cylinder on 2009's only. Easy driving vs hard driving should only make about a max of 30% difference. That is according to the Motorweek TV show. I have my 07' Mazda 3 s touring and I HATE to part with it but I LOVE THIS new 6 CAR... except the mileage so far. THANKS!!! |

The truth is we have no idea what these will be worth 5-6 years from now, and basing your decision only on that is a mistake. If the 09 Mazda6 i Sport ends up being worth more then a Mazda6 s GT, it would be an industry first. Do you really see that happening?? I don't.

Replying to: cecilt1 (Oct 19, 2008 2:26 pm)  ). It was extremely quiet. Very little wind noise at all cruising at 75 mph on the PA turnpike. Quieter than the BMW I just traded on the 6s GT. It also had the guts to pass someone parked in the passing lane doing 60 mph. I can't help you as far as resale values. I buy the car I like at the time.

Replying to: cecilt1 (Oct 19, 2008 5:52 pm) Why don't you lease if you know you are in it for 2-3 years? Honestly, in 2-3 years there won't be that much of a difference in value between the Mazda6 and the other popular cars in this segment, unless Mazda comes out with $3,000 -$4,000 in rebates again. For now, I don't see that happening. |

Replying to: sedmund (Oct 19, 2008 9:24 pm) It's funny you say that.....According to Mazda, they specifically chose those tires because they felt they produced little road noise. Go figure?

Replying to: aviboy97 (Oct 19, 2008 9:41 pm) Yeah. I read that somewhere - don't remember if it was on the web site or in the manual. One brand new bridge I crossed had a textured concrete deck. My wife referred to it as the singing bridge. Certain surfaces do make noise, some are perfectly quiet. On the quiet pavements, it's very quiet. It's the tires. I can live with that though.

Replying to: cecilt1 (Oct 19, 2008 2:26 pm) One thing I did enjoy was paying for the regular, 87 octane, grade of gas. The BMW used premium so it's a wash as far as cost is concerned - it actually may be cheaper to run the Mazda. This is my first Mazda too. I'm finding ways to drive it just to drive it. The more I drive it, the better I like it. I'm starting to not miss my BMW. |
