    2016 Mazda6 Touring- Engine power drop off

    I have the 2016 grand touring and mine does not seem to do that. I suggest you bring it back to the dealership and make them do a road test. And take out a demo model and test it out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Latest gen Mazda6 highway mileage?

    When I do any extended driving more than 20 miles on the highway I definitely get close to 40mpg. But in the morning with a little traffic and only 12 miles to work it hovers around 30 mpg. It seems like it takes a while on the road to get the good mileage and short drives kill it. Btw I'm...

    Mazda3: Is it worth it to get the 2.5 engine?

    My wife bought the 3 with the smaller engine and we have regretted it every time we get on the highway. I have a 6 and even with the heavier weight you can feel the difference. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Mazda 6 or 3

    I have a 6 and my wife has the 3. If you want to have an adult sit in back get the 6. If you want a more sporty ride get the 3 with the 2.5 engine. If you need a big trunk or take long road trips get the 6. If you just drive around town and don't haul kids or carpool get the 3. Sent from my...

    Mazda 6 sales baffles me..what's wrong?

    Here in my neighborhood there are several new mazdas. At least here in the suburbs of NYC Mazda is very popular. Although not as popular as accord or other vanilla car they aren't hard to find. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Nav/Infotainment system hack to open up optins while moving?

    I copied this from another thread from member Chemisus .... 2016 Mazda6 GT owner, and software developer here. You absolutely do not need to snip any wires to disable the speed restrictions on a 2016 Mazda6. What you do need is a way to SSH into the computer. The items needed to gain access...

    2015 M6 power map?

    What grade of gas are you using? The engine is very high compression (13-14:1 depending on country) and if the gas is lower octane the ignition timing will retard the timing to avoid detonation. Also, sport mode in the AT will be better in low end since it remains the throttle response. Sent...

    is there live traffic in Mazda6?

    I have a Mazda 6 2016 and it does have some kind of live traffic and historical data as part of the navi option. But Waze is light years ahead of all of them including Google and Apple (and Google owns them which is weird) so why use a traffic map that isn't the best? Anyway, Mazda 2016 does...

    New Owner/Member with a bluetooth question!

    It could also be the iPhone. I was testing for Apple beta iOS and 9 to 9.2 each version was different especially with Bluetooth connect on my '16 Mazda 6. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
