Replying to: 4rman (Apr 16, 2009 12:00 pm) Insurance companies often have index levels for different liability categories. i have progressive, and it has a collision, a comprehensive, and a bodily injury for each car. My 09 mazda6 scored well in the collision and bodily injury, and very well in the comprehensive (because they're not targeted to steal as often). The bodily injury index is also much better than my CRV, probably because the CRV often has children in it, raising the chance of injury in a crash. the collision is simply higher because the insurance company has a greater liability due to the greater value of the car. Truth is that you should really shop your policy every couple years, because the insurance companies are always trying to get new customers, and may be evaluating your risk profile differently. It sounds like your current company isn't evaluating you correctly now. |

Replying to: mz6greyghost (Apr 18, 2009 11:40 am) Gen an '09 then. Mazda is eliminating the Conv. Pkg for 2010. Mazda is also altering many features and levels of trim. The new trim levels are as follows: Mazda6 i SV, i Sport, i Touring, i Touring Plus, s Touring Plus, s GT. No 6-speed mtx on i GT's. There are so many changes, all to do with content. All trims lose content except a Grand Touring w/ tech package (new for 2010). I will post once I carefully read through the spec sheet. Mazda is doing this to reduce the cost of the Mazda6. IMO, Mazda has been losing sales because the Mazda6 with all the features it has costs more then a Camry or Accord. I have seen frist hand people tell me all day "Well, I know the Mazda is more of a car, but I can get an Accord for $XX,XXX which is $X,XXX less then the Mazda6. I'm buying the Accord"

Moonroof & Bose Pkg deleted Convenience Pkg deleted 6-speed manual on i GT deleted Smokestone color deleted Now that I look at it, it seems that the changes were needed. Was it nice to have all those features standard/offered? Yeah, but, in reality, people wanted those features for free and didn't want to pay. Now, Mazda gives you the choice of either having a comparable equipped car to Honda/Toyota/Nissan at a similar or less price, but, if you want the added content those manufacturers do not offer, you can pay for it. Price has not been announced, however, I know this was don't to reduce cost, and be more competitive price wise. I think it's smart. |

Replying to: aviboy97 (Apr 21, 2009 9:58 am)  Can you elborate on that for me Aviboy? I guess if i want a loaded Touring or Grand Touring with a stick shift I'd better act before all the 09s are gone...or else get an Accord b/c I don't want an Automatic GT and I'm not crazy about the cloth inside the Mazda6. |

Replying to: aviboy97 (Apr 21, 2009 9:58 am) What about the cloth/leather combination trim, is it a goner, too?
