Replying to: aspen8 (Feb 23, 2009 11:48 am) See? That's interesting. I have the s GT with 18" low profile stone-clunkers and I wish the ride was a little firmer with a little less body lean. That's why it is futile to argue about suspensions. Everyone likes something different. |

Just got a call this morning from Mazda, that my replacement color coded door handle is in. This was ordered last Sat.or Monday of this week. It came in very fast and I am very pleased. Also, I have a I Touring Mazda 6 09. It has 17" alloy wheels. In response to the last entry. The ride is very firm with little body lean. I love that part.It feels solid. To be more specific, let me just say that the ride itself over less than perfectly smooth roads produces a ride that does not absorb the imperfections of the road. The car produces a little more feedback from the road surface than what I am used to. Could be the tires themselves. Other than that,(a minor annoyance), I love the car. Not one problem with it.

Replying to: aspen8 (Feb 24, 2009 8:13 am) I came over from a '95 Accord, which BTW has been a great car. The ride in my 6i Touring (17" alloy wheels) is definitely stiffer, but i like it. It feels sporty to me. I do feel every bump in the road. I had to be extra careful when driving my wife home from surgery the other day, as each bump in the road made her wince. Now that she's better, its not a problem anymore. I love my 6!

Replying to: flieger (Feb 24, 2009 8:36 am) I traded a BMW on this Mazda so I am used to a little firmer, more agile drive. For a big, nose-heavy car though, it's very adequate. It's amazing how they almost eliminated the torque steer.

To Flieger. Went to my Mazda Dealer this morning to replace the one door handle under the recall program. Remember, it had already been inspected Sat. before and it took less than 15 minutes to replace the handle. Was even offered a free rental for the day. How do you like that for customer service. I said I would rather wait, talked to the service manager and before I knew it, the car was done and ready to leave.

Replying to: aspen8 (Feb 25, 2009 8:48 am)  aspen8 That's great news. I'm glad it went smoothly. I had a problem the second day of driving my car (6i Touring, 4 cyl, convenience pkg): it wouldn't start! I called my dealer and they told me to call their roadside assistance. I contacted them and an hour and a half later i was at the dealership via tow truck. They had to keep the car over night to figure out the problem. They gave me a not-so-nice old Mazda 3 for rental. They got the problem fixed the next day. It turned out to be two problems at once: 1. The remote key "lost its programming" 2. The shifter didn't make contact correctly when in park, so it wouldn't allow the engine to start. Anyway its fixed now, and i'm loving the car. |
