It's buggy man. I had to leave my new 6GT with the dealer and they loaned me a 2013 CX-5. The nav system looked exactly the same as mine but had an older or slightly different version of the OS, and I had none of the problems I have with my new 6GT as far as bluetooth and the USB drive goes. I...

4000 miles on my M6 GT automatic, with no i-loop: overall average 27mpg (90% city and a heavy foot) But I averaged 34mpg on my road trip recently from San Francisco (area) to South Lake Tahoe (MRCC set between 70-80 depending on where I was.) There was also some traffic in some spots.

I enjoy using the MRCC and for a while, I kept trying to just keep it running even if traffic got a little thicker... It was fun waiting to see if the system would work or not, but honestly, it requires a bit of thought and I'd rather focus on driving. These days, as soon as traffic seems to get...

What? You just said the Mazda 6 has 1/2" more legroom... so yeah, it is most definitely true. Maybe not as much more as I thought but it was a tight fit when we were driving the CX-5 and we dont have that issue with the 6. I dont have little shoe marks on my 6 but I had tons on the CX-5

Howdy. I have the 6GT and have a wife and 2 little girls, 2 and 4. So I have a car seat and booster seat in the back always. I also spent a couple of weeks in a CX-5 that the dealer gave me as a loaner... long story... anyway, my point is GET THE 6. The trunk is roomy enough and theres more...

Gotta love 1st year models, eh? Still worth it though... it's a great car.

Yeah, it's basically from the side mirrors I think. The worst is when you open only the rear window and not the front ones. It'll drive you insane.

The original plastic cover under the shift gate was a bit too short so once it’s broken in (1500 miles or so…) it bows up in the middle making it even shorter and the ends of it can get hung up on the shift gate corners. Long story short, there’s a new wider plastic cover that replaces the old...

Not to keen on the chrome molding but it may look better on black car... Personally, I'd like to see a slightly flared out skirt/groundeffects to give that part of the car a little more edge. I love my 6 but sometimes when I look at the rear 1/4 view, I see an Oldsmobile Alero and that kind of...

We all choose cars for our own personal reasons and each of the cars you mentioned shines in it's own way. As a driving enthusiast (I've done a few club races with my 81 RX7 at Sears Point, back when it was called that anyway...) the Ford Fusion, Honda Accord Sport, and Nissan Altima just did...

I wondered about that but it doesnt seem to happen consistently. I'll try it out later today. Thanks for bringing that up. When I manually turn on Pandora on the phone, it sometimes hooks up and sometimes doesnt.... probably 50/50. I rarely leave bluetooth on the phone so I usually have to...

Honestly, I've given up on bluetooth... I just plug in and call it a day.

Welcome and congrats on the new ride. I picked up a GT with MRCC in liquid silver over a couple of months ago and absolutely love driving it. As far as road noise goes, the 19" Dunlops just arent the quietest tire available. I plan on switching to something quieter but it can wait until the...

There are settings that control how the locks work on the Nav unit. You can have the doors auto lock after a set time, or lock when you shift to drive, all sorts of settings. I'm assuming you have the tech package and head unit though...

Got my Silver GT $28,600 out the door and that's with the SCBS and the MRCC package and they threw in the free maintenance service package... ALWAYS buy your car on the last day of the month and work with the internet sales guys. No fuss, no hidden fees, and no shady fast talker to worry about.
