Replying to: aviboy97 (Dec 18, 2008 6:28 pm) Hey, thanks avi. I check out this site to research models and I appreciate your contributions. Last answer sounds great if it happens, sounds like it will allow Mazda to have more control over their products (for the better). Replies to this message: aviboy97 (Dec 19, 2008 1:49 pm)

Think of Mazda being more efficient with daily operations.

Replying to: lpmiller (Dec 19, 2008 8:16 am) No I don't have traction control off. In fact when I was trying to drive up the snowy driveway I saw the tcs light/icon on the dash come on a few times but it didn't help. BTW apart from my driveway I didn't have any traction issues with the 6 anywhere else even when on some areas where the roads weren't fully clear and had some snow on them. It's basically the slope of my driveway that's causing issue here with the 6. BTW the awd CX-9 that we have went up the driveway unflinchingly, just before I tried the 6 and failed. I used to be skeptical of awd's till I got to see the ease with which our CX-9 climbs up our driveway under low traction conditions. Replies to this message: jeffyscott (Dec 20, 2008 6:04 am)

I have a 09 Mazda6 S Grand Touring. I drove in over 10 inches of snow today with no issues! I also had a small problem getting up my high driveway. I switched off the traction control & was easy able to get in my garage!

Replying to: sedmund (Dec 19, 2008 7:25 pm) Perhaps, while the Mazda6 comes with all-season tires, they are more performance oriented and less all-season-ish than what some other vehicles come with.
#1887 of 2118 Remote Start works but... by matthew_b Dec 20, 2008 (9:11 pm)
I bought My Mazda6 in October and got my remote Mazda remote start put installed in November. The shop had a tough time installing it taking them two days and they needed to give me a car rental, but anyway the remote start is not that great. My issues i have with it are, 1)the remote start key is one button. you need to hold it for one second then push it quickly again for your car to start. if pushed wrong it will set off your car alarm and not start your car, so when you go outside your car is off but your alarm is on. 2) with advance key less system, when you open your door it turns off the car. it is a safety feature. so you will have to restart your car after you open your door. 3) the key fob does not tell you if your car was started, im kind of picky on that one but it would be nice to be able to tell if it started or not other than walking outside to see if it worked or not. so I would probably pass on it unless those aren't much of an issue for you. OH and one other thing, you can not have your rear defrosters turned on with your car, so you will have to turn it on after you get in your car.
#1888 of 2118 Stuck in the snow. by snoopy316 Dec 21, 2008 (2:46 pm)
I have a 2009 Mazda 6 S GT.. I was pulling out of a parking lot today, and there was about 6 - 8 inches of snow at the end of the parking lot. I stopped to make sure no cars were coming down the road and hit the gas. the TCS light began the flash.. I wasn't moving very far. then out of no where my car turned off.. I looked at the start button and noticed that just the accessories were on. I press the start button. Turned off the TCS and got right out.   Has anyone else had this problem.. or knows what might cause this? I also live on a steep hill and have not had an issue getting up my driveway.   I was mildly concerned when my car turned off thou...

Replying to: snoopy316 (Dec 21, 2008 2:46 pm) I was pulling out of a parking lot today, and there was about 6 - 8 inches of snow at the end of the parking lot. I stopped to make sure no cars were coming down the road and hit the gas. the TCS light began the flash   First, your TCS should be turned off when starting from a dead stop and you are in snow that deep because you need wheel spin to get your car moving forward. The TCS light was flashing because the car was letting you know the TCS was activated (preventing wheel spin by reducing engine throttle and utilizing the brakes). The TCS system was working properly.   I wasn't moving very far. then out of no where my car turned off.   My guess is that since the TCS was engaged for so long, the throttle was reduced for too long and the engine starved itself of fuel.   Again, when starting from a dead stop, turn off the TCS until you are actively moving forward, then turn it back on. Your salesman should have told you that. You can also read about it in your owners manual. Replies to this message: ivan_99 (Dec 22, 2008 1:09 pm)
