No. I just leave the switch over to the right mirror and adjust it down when parking. That's one thing I definitely miss. Not a deal breaker though.

I highly doubt you are looking at a "loaded" Mazda6 s GT for $23,000. It lists for $30,000.
 
Did your payment include sales tax, fees, etc? How much money are you putting down?

Hopefully you're looking at the overflow and not the radiator. If the overflow is low just add water and check it again in a month. If the overflow is empty and the radiator is low, then get it to the dealer (have it towed if it's running HOT).

Thanks. It was the overflow. I had the Technician check it when I went in for my oil change. He said every thing was good.

Do you mean if you change out the stock speakers with aftermarket speakers will the warranty on the original speakers be void?
 
Yes...you should have a new manufacturer's warranty on the new speakers.
 
Unless the part you changed out adversely affect another part it should not void any warranty.
 
Generally you can change any component; as long is it doesn't affect anything else it should not void any warrant...not being an expert of course...

My Mazda6 i GT w/AT is now two months old and has 1900 miles on it.
 
Good points:
- very roomy and comfortable and quiet
- very responsive engine, transmission, brakes, etc.. (also all are very linear so control of them is easy)
- superbly solid and precise steering control although a little too light on the steering effort for me
- excellent cornering and handling w/little body roll
- very good traction on snow with standard all-season tires and electronic stability program
- very good gas mileage according to the built-in computer (haven't had a chance yet to do the manual calculations especially after one recent tank fill where the automatic nozzle didn't automate.. and sprayed my pants and shoes with much gas ! Not Mazda's fault!) Got a reading of over 28 mpg on a 220 mile trip of 80% highway driving with 1000 miles on engine.
- excellent ergonomics on the controls and dashboard layout and excellent switch/control feel
- excellent standard audio system (previous car was a Mercedes with Bose and I haven't noticed much difference)
- excellent fit and finish inside and out.
 
Nit Picks:
- Outside mirror and steering wheel not included in automated settings for each driver
- Mazda engineers never drove in New England coastal fog or they would have allowed use of fog lights WITHOUT headlights..!!
- Didn't expect to get a Grand Touring car with super low-profile tires. Ride is a little harsher than I had expected for the Grand Touring model. Super lo-profile tires are OK for Grand Sport model, not Grand Touring.!
 
Overall I am really pleased with this car and if it is as good as my 1988 MX-6, I should have it for at least 9-10 years with no serious problems.. Zoom-Zoom!

Yeah I wanted to change my stock speakers with aftermarket speakers and get subwoofers w/amp.
 
When I called the dealership they said if i change the stock speakers the warranty towards my speakers and radio would be void. Your explanation was the same I got from a lot other people I spoke to.
 
I'm still going to get the audio system changed but I'm just hearing a lot of stuff.

Does anyone know the size of the door speakers?
 
I can't find the size anywhere online.

It's not very common to find a car come from the factory where it allows you to use the fog lights with the headlights off. My wifes Subaru does the same thing.

The 17" alloys are not really "low profile" tires. Check out the 18" alloys on the s model and you will see what low profile is!
 
I guess if those are your complaints, you must really like the car! I have a few nit picks about my 2005 as well, but, the positives far out weigh the negatives.
