#1851 of 2116 2009 Mazda6 Remote Engine Start by aviboy97 Dec 10, 2008 (9:43 am)
pats1fan & jkobty2-   The remote start is available, at least in the North East, for the push button start equipped Mazda6's only. There is a wiring harness needed for Mazda6's not equipped with the push button start, and that part is on national back order with no ETA. I hope that helps!

Replying to: aviboy97 (Dec 10, 2008 9:43 am) That is interesting information because I am in the North East, and they claim they have the parts. Calling Mazda gets no results because the best they can do is call the salesman to ask him what the problem is (after I tell them what the problem is). Also, the claim is that it is the push button start system is the issue and if I had a keyed system I would be all set.

Replying to: pats1fan (Dec 10, 2008 3:12 pm) That's incorrect. I would get on the phone with your dealer.   Part #0000-8F-Z23 (wiring harness) and C900-V7-629A (hood switch) are the parts on national back order and are parts required for the non-push button Mazda6's.

Replying to: aviboy97 (Dec 11, 2008 11:47 am) One phone call to Mazda again last night, and suddenly the part no longer has a technical issue. I was told to "expect a call" for installation, but of course did not get one. I am sure there will be resolution tomorrow when I become one with the dealership. Thanks for the help.
#1855 of 2116 Gas Mileage Problem by yankeekm91 Dec 11, 2008 (5:31 pm)
I've had my 09 Mazda 6i Touring for about 2 months now and I've put a little bit more than 700 miles on it (not much, I know). Anyways, I've been getting like 14 - 15 mpg with nearly 100% city driving. The EPA estimate is 21 with the range for most drivers being 17 - 23. Why am I getting such low numbers? Any help would be appreciated Replies to this message: trinitywolf (Dec 12, 2008 9:03 am) chriso7 (Dec 12, 2008 9:30 am) aviboy97 (Dec 12, 2008 8:33 pm)

Replying to: yankeekm91 (Dec 11, 2008 5:31 pm) I am still only getting 19 mpg mixed driving after 1,500 miles with my i GT. Not good but I love love love the car. Now it gets like 30 on the highway but this engine seems to not like city driving mpg wise.

Replying to: yankeekm91 (Dec 11, 2008 5:31 pm) Consumer Reports rates car MPG on a city, highway and mixed trip simulation. Unlike the EPA, they actually drive the cars. Their ratings tend to have City numbers lower than EPA no matter which car it is. One thing is for sure, they keep the drive course and manner of running the test consistent.   The rating for the 2009 6i is 15mpg city (same as 4cly Accord) and I believe 35 highway, with a mixed trip bring 24mpg. For instance the Altima 4cyl 2008/9 gets one of the highest for this class 18mpg City.

Replying to: yankeekm91 (Dec 11, 2008 5:31 pm) The engine is not broken in yet. You need 3,000 to 5,000 miles on it before you will see optimum FE.
#1859 of 2116 Re: Prices - Fair? [wendavid9] by belaircarguy Dec 13, 2008 (4:20 am)
Replying to: wendavid9 (Dec 02, 2008 6:26 am) This is the exact model / package that I am interested in purchasing. How do you like the manual transmission? Haven't had a manual for many years, and thought I would like to get one again, which will also come in handy to teach my current 14 year old how to drive a manual car when she is ready (age 16 in Maryland).   Currently have a 07 Camry - 4 cylinder with automatic, which is an OK car, but certainly feels like I am driving a toaster ---- uninspiring and boring.   Does the car really have the Zoom Zoom thing?

Replying to: belaircarguy (Dec 13, 2008 4:20 am) Does the car really have the Zoom Zoom thing?   Compared to your Camry. Yes. Not to disrespect what you own, but the Camry cannot hold a candle to the Mazda6 in terms of pure drivability.   Ask a 1st gen Mazda6 owner, and he/she may say the Mazda6 has lost a bit of "zoom-zoom", but, there is still no doubt that the 2009 is far sportier then anything else out there.
