If you go on other specific Mazda 6 boards, there are a number of people who have bought the car. A couple of things about the Jalponik review that is odd is the 1) comment about the light doors and the lack of a solid feel and the complaints that they hood was too heavy. Those are odd comments to me. Also, peak HP comes at close to 5000 RPM with 93 octane - with constant torque from 1900 on. So the complaint about feeling slow after 1900 rpm seems like a stupid statement.
No to manual and AWDNot really. LS1 cars frm the 90's/2000's felt slow. Line up against one though (during the time-period)...
Also, are the 6's getting turbo, manual, and AWD?
C'mon Unob, I think you already knew the answer to that question.Also, are the 6's getting turbo, manual, and AWD?

Is it just as quiet as CX5? looking for a quiet AWD car in the non-luxury brands... CX5 seems to be the only choice that rival Lexus NX and RX quietness and comfort.I sat in a '18 Mazda6 on show floor. Compared to my '16 GT, the new one is quieter, and the door closing is definitely less flimzy (closer to '17 CX5).
Early Mazda6s are noisy. They did improvement on the '16. Now, even more on the '18 + the turbo.
that's exactly what a Mazda sales told me. "put turbo in CX5 and we won't be able to sell any CX9" LOLWhy no turbo on CX5?
My opinion is that, Mazda might be afraid of impacting sales of CX9.

the cx5 awd with a signature trim + turbo would be a killer in its segment.
However, my marketing brain tells me that Mazda won't do a turbo CX-5 because it will suck the life out of the CX-9.
Same drive train as the 9, in a lighter smaller package? Why buy the 9?

A turbo in the 6 is a smart move, as it won't steal any sales from other Mazda products.
There is this video:

He is getting 0-60 times of ~6.7 seconds. I am betting car and driver gets around the same - maybe closer to 6.5.
So, here is the first real 0-60 time from Motortrend and it is 6.4 seconds to 60.

6.4 seconds is not bad as I thought it would be. It will lose to the Accord 2.0T and Camry V6 on a drag race, but if the ride comfort and driving experience is that much better, most people won't care.
Who care if it loses to Accord's and Camry's (wink)
I don't know, potential buyers who refer to performance test results? Might not be the case anywhere else, but in America, there are still a lot of people who still check the 0-60 times, regardless if it is a good metric or not. This is why the GT 86 and BRZ twins get so much flak here, because they can't even beat a Camry on a stop light drag race. I honestly don't care that much about 0-60, but a lot of people here still do. And if Mazda really wants to grab more customers and force them out of the luxury sport sedans, they need to keep up with the competition.
