Philitus, I paid 24900 + tax, etc for IGT w/ moonroof/bose and all weather floor mats. Ebony Black. I didn't get in on any of the Maxda cash that others have been talking about in here, you may look into that.
 
I do have a question regarding a roof rack. Anyone have info or recommendations on a roof rack for my 09 Mazda for Mtn bike, snowboard, etc? Also on the smart key settings it states that you can turn off the audible beeping noise that the car makes when you dont fasten your seatbelt. I have had the car in twice and to have this turned off. It still beeps, anyone had any luck with this? Thanks in advance.

xyz123, the noise I'm talking about is like a faint knocking noise just barely audible. Not many people may even notice it - I could hear it every-time but my wife didn't notice for a long time even after I told her about it!
A Mazda technician took a look at it and, if my memory servers me right, told me that it was caused by the purge solenoid. I will confirm it when I take the car in for the first service. This noise comes on when the car is idling, stays on for 30 seconds or so and turns off. When this noise comes on I can in fact feel something on my foot on the brake as if something is tapping the bottom of my feet! Again keep in mind all this is very faint - I'm just trying to describe it as best I can.
The Mazda technician was quite friendly and didn't pretend, even for a moment, that this noise didn't exist. He acknowledged the problem and said they are aware of it and working on a fix. Let's see ...

Hi Sedmund -- is this only an issue on an 6s 6cyl or does it also affect the 4cyl 6i?

I could be wrong, but I don't think that has anything to do with the key personalization settings. It's listed, separately, in the seat belt information part of the manual.
 
Maybe the dealer is confused.

question about the mazda 6 bluetooth capability by mantoast

I have been looking at new cars for a while now and mazda had not been on my list of contenders. Mostly due to a lack of mazda dealers conveniently located. After reading/studying up on them I see that it might be a good option. The question I have is: does the bluetooth allow for 2 devices to be connected at the same time?
I don't want to have to buy a crap phone with a built in MP3 player when I can get a good phone and a good MP3 player for next to nothing.
Thanks

All the 3 Mazda6's I saw that had this problem happened to be 6-cyl. So I don't know if this issue is present in the 4-cyl or not.

Has anyone had problems with fluctuating MPG readings from the info button. At one time it read i was getting 21 AVG MPG. Now its reading 18 AVG MPG. I've had my 09 Mazda S for about two months so I know the engine has been broken in some what.

Maybe you're just consuming more gas per mile traveled. That would be the simplest explanation. Is that for one trip or for the duration of your ownership? If you're talking about from the time you brought it home until now, that's a big change. You can reset any particular display category if you hold down the trip button while it's being shown on the little screen. Then maybe you can monitor each tankful, and compare it to the calculation you make at the pump. Neither one will be completely accurate, but at least you'll get a good idea if the computer is working properly.
 
21 miles per gallon sounds really good for an average. I averaged low 19s for the first tankful, mid 18s for the second, and it seems like it's going to be mid 18s for the current tank. That's for around 1/3 city, 2/3 hwy.

Yes you can pair as many devices as you like. And you can configure everything using voice commands.

Its for the duration my ownership. I have 2500 miles (give or take a little) on it now. I do drive 1/3 city and 2/3 hwy. It just seemed so strange how at one time my the info button read 21 AVG MPG then 18 AVG MPG. I reset the info button every time I fill up. Are you suppose to rest the info button every time you fill up or every once and awhile? IDK but I'm just gonna calculate the AVG MPG after I fill up again
