Replying to: sedmund (Jan 28, 2009 8:26 pm) I have the exact same tires on MY RX-8 that I drive in northern winters, and have had no problems in snow as deep as 7". That's saying a lot since the RX-8 is low profile and rear wheel drive. When I say no problems, I mean none - the iPikes are amazing. |

I just bought a 2009 Mazda 6 I touring with the 2.5 4 cyclinder, and it only has about 300 miles on it. I noticed today while driving that the transmission was jerking while in stop and go traffic on the highway. Is anyone familiar with this? Should I be doing something about it? or is it normal? Thanks for the help.

I am close to buying a Mazda6 iTouring. I tested the base model speakers and thought they buzzed a bit, although they were not awful. Getting Bose speakers would be nice, but with the moonroof (which I don't need), it's rather pricey, as a $1500 add-on. I am not the kind of person who can wire up speakers myself. The question is what to do: a) go with the Bose/Moonroof package for better sound, at the price of $1500 extra or whatever, b) take the car to some audio shop and ask for installation of "high quality speakers" (I don't know if the average shop knows what is safe to install on this system, and I don't really know what an "improvement" in audio quality would cost---can anyone make a suggestion here?) c) Stay with the basic speakers that come with the base model and perhaps swap in better speakers when audio shops get more familiar with the 2009 Mazda 6. By the way, I posted this separate, but if anyone has an opinion on whether the iPod integration module adds sound quality vs using the aux input, let me know.

Hi- I'm close to guying a Mazda 6 iTouring (2009) with Convenience Package. I wasn't planning on Navigation package. I do use an iPod a lot. Adding the iPod integration unit in would cost extra. Does it sound much better than using the auxiliary-in jack? I read several posts saying that this works well if you have a Navigation system but leads to greater difficulty controlling the iPod in non-nav cars, because you are compelled to control the iPod through the vehicle, but you can't really skip through the menus easily. Do you agree? Thanks waterbuck1

Replying to: waterbuck1 (May 31, 2009 9:05 pm) Now I have driven the car for one week and cannot accept the low-fi performance of the built in audio system. No clarity of sound at all. Perhaps it can be possible to add two tweeter loudspekers on the dashboard in some way plus a filter between the tweeter and the standard loudspeaker. Anybody got a suggestion ?
