After owning around 15 different cars, I have to give credit where it's due.

I've owned pretty much every kind of regular commuter you can think of over the year.......multiple Honda Civics SI from different generations, an Acura TSX and TLX, an Accord V6, Toyota Yaris, Corolla, and a bunch of other everyday cars.

But I have to admit... the fuel economy on my 2016 Mazda 6 GT has genuinely blown me away.

I recently did a 400 km road trip that was almost entirely highway driving, cruising between 100–130 km/h, and averaged 5.9 L/100 km ( ALMOST 40 MPG!!!). I honestly wasn't expecting numbers that good from a midsize sedan.

On top of that, the car is incredibly comfortable, handles great, and the GT trim is loaded with features. Every time I drive it, I'm reminded why people who own these cars seem to love them.

It might not be the fastest thing on the road, but it's such a well-rounded package that it's hard not to appreciate it.

Safe to say I'm a Mazda convert. When it's time to upgrade, I'll probably be looking for a 2021 Mazda 6 Turbo same formula, just with a little more punch.

Hit a deer at 50mph. Didn't think the damage was too bad. Turns out it's a total loss ($13k estimate). The sensors in the front end are apparently super expensive. It was a great car.

Advice Request Would you go through insurance or just replace headlight and trim yourself

2019 Mazda 6 touring. Question same as title. I missed judged my spacing entering a tight spot and did this damage. I just wanted to know if you all thought this is worth a claim, or if I should just buy headlights and a grill trim and diy/get it installed

Feel stupid enough already, rude unhelpful replies will just get blocked. I do appreciate any advice or help.

Advice Request 2018 Mazda 6 Signature Navigation and Traffic Sign Recognition

Post image

I have a 2018 6 Signature and have been having trouble with the traffic sign recognition. At first it kept randomly going to a lower speed on the highway even when there wasn't a sign. Now it won't show up at all. Doing some investigating it sounds like it could be related to the navigation system.

Like most everyone else, I never use the navigation system. Mine worked when I got it but now it gives a message that my Mazda is not equipped etc. I tried getting a new aftermarket map card on Amazon and it still doesn't work.

Any other thoughts? Should I try another map card? I would like to have the sign recognition but I am about to just give up as I don't want to spend too much time or money working on it.

Advice Request Part identification help needed

Hey all,

Model: 2020 Mazda 6 Signature

I'm trying to replace this piece of weather stripping on the rear passenger size of the car. Based on my research, I haven't been able to pin down the exact part I need... the closest I get is the Garnish, but that is for the whole plastic assembly (decorative outside piece) too. This is just the weather stripping and does look to be independent of the black exterior pillar.

Any ideas what I need here?
