A New Proud Owner of 6

:
Mazda 6 2.5
Hi everyone.

I am from Malaysia and this is my 1st posting in this forum. I have experience in reviewing cars and I do get lots of invitations to test drive modified vehicles. Hope to share my point of view for my newly bought Mazda 6 2.5

Our version in Malaysia is: http://reviewmazdacars.com/review.asp?ReviewID=12

I bought it at a discounted price. They offered me RM8,200 discounts and gave me a reverse camera and dvd + navigator.

Handling

It has good grip on the road whether its smooth or bouncy. I love the suspension. Its sporty but takes all vibrations well. Damn, it is so much better than my old Honda Accord VTI-L...

However, the steering is quite loose to me. Meaning too light for my preferences. I used to take a sharp right corner (one hand) at 160km/h on a highway and when the road bounces a bit, I nearly smash on the right wall. I know, we shouldnt drive that way

Performance

Our version here is a bit underpowered compared to other countries... And the compression ratio doesnt helps at all. It is more for fuel saving. However, it doesnt dissapoint much. The car is light and I love the feeling of keep going when we drive. It is much better than camry 2.4 and accord 2.4 which I have tested.

Build Quality

The engine noise is very minimum. I love the sunroof. Damn nice feel. I love all the rain sensors, front sensors, AFS (the moving lights) and the traction control of course. It keps appearing when I push the car around the town sometimes. The button is really helpful to turn it off and enjoy the car more.

Interior is good, BOSE is nice but woofer is a let down... bass sucks to me.

I LOVE MY 6. (iagree)
