#1979 of 2126 Re: Window Tinting [snoopy316] by thegraduate Apr 13, 2009 (8:28 am)
Replying to: snoopy316 (Apr 13, 2009 8:16 am) ...Outside mirrors...   Shouldn't affect them at all. The mirrors react to the light that hits them. The tint on the windows doesn't affect headlight glare from behind the car hitting the outside mirrors.
#1980 of 2126 Cloth/leather option on Touring models by igozoomzoom Apr 13, 2009 (5:22 pm)
Has anyone seen (or purchased) a Mazda6 'Touring' with Convenience Package? The Convenience Package replaces the standard cloth seats with cloth/leather combination. In theory, it sounds like a great alternative for folks like me who aren't fond of full leather interiors. I wish they were heated (like the leather seats in the Grand Touring models), but that's a minor issue.   Any thoughts/opinions on the combo seat trim?

#1981 of 2126 17" Alloys on i Touring/Grand Touring & s Sport by igozoomzoom Apr 13, 2009 (5:38 pm)
Does anyone else find the 17" alloy wheel design unappealing? It looks very similar to the 16" wheel cover on i SV/Sport models.   The 18" alloys on the s Touring/Grand Touring fit the look and size of the car perfectly, IMO. The 17" doesn't have a lot of open space, which the 18" does. The 17" alloys from the Mazda3 s would look very sharp on the MZ6 instead!
#1982 of 2126 Insurance rates by 4rman Apr 16, 2009 (12:00 pm)
I am very much interested in finding out from new owners if your Insurance rates went up with Mazda 6? Trying to understand why my agent claims my rates will go up by about $20 a month even though my current car when new, is about 8K more than a Mazda 6.   I would really appreciate any responses... Thanks.

Replying to: 4rman (Apr 16, 2009 12:00 pm) My rates went down ~$100/6 months from a 2006 Acura TL (Progressive Insurance)

Replying to: 4rman (Apr 16, 2009 12:00 pm) My insurance also went up approx $30/mo in a very similar situation. The 2 claims the insurance company made to me were...That although they are aware that the final safety rating set for the Mazda was the highest it could be, the data wasn't there when they set the rate and it wasn't given a high rating (therefore higher cost). Even after this acknowlegement, they refused to allow me to challenge it and told me I would have to wait for my renewal in a year to realize a decrease. Sencondly, although my prior vehicle was purchased at significantly more $, the replacement parts for the Mazda would be more costly than my other car. For every question I asked, I received a lot of uncomfortable silence before I got an answer. I conclude that I am just getting scre#$%.

Replying to: igozoomzoom (Apr 13, 2009 5:22 pm) Yes, I have a Mazda 6 Touring with the convenience package. I like the seat trim and have no complaints. We got a tan interior, with a black trim, and the color combo of the black and tan looks nice. Other pluses included the blind spot monitoring, the dual climate control, and bluetooth. Also, like the Xeon lights...

Replying to: 4rman (Apr 16, 2009 12:00 pm) A couple months ago I called my agent and received quotes for a number of vehicles...the Mazda 6 was one of the highest (VW CC lowest); State Farm.   The overall price wasn't very significant and didn't influence my decision.

Replying to: 4rman (Apr 16, 2009 12:00 pm) The premium you pay will always be higher on a new vehicle than one a model year or two old given all the same other factors.   Things like what you paid, crash test data, etc. are not usually factored separately, they are already figured into the "symbol" for that car, and mostly based on loss experience of that model based on VIN.

Replying to: igozoomzoom (Apr 13, 2009 5:22 pm) I'm leaning toward the 6ST with Conv. pkg. myself, and the seats are nicely done IMO. I'm not a big leather seat fan, but the combination is appealing to me. Heated seats IMO are needed with leather, especially in the climate I live in, but I still wouldn't use them anyway, another plus for me.   The other options with the package are nice to have as well...
