why are you downgrading

i thought you are on GTI
im on 2.0, not exactly underpowered, adequate for normal usage.
power coming in at higher RPM band which is from 4K onwards.
dont expect euro comfort, m6 is more on good handling
feature? get 2.5 if dont want regret

please elaborate your feedback would like to know more comment hehe
i doubt you want anything CKD, put JDM quality into consideration
oh yea, m3 is another good choice given the interior is much better than m6

Mine front crystalline 50, the rest colorshade 30, dark enough to pass all roadblock

come join us once you register at facebook group. dont be shy ya.

its a community group which exactly same those charity house, create own manage without anyone paying.
btw the group is strictly for owner that had gotten the car for ease of management.
you only wait for couple of weeks, i waited 6 months to get my car and by then only allow to join the group.

please take note on your behaviour for creating non existence mess.

Bro, NVH wise IS250 is much better. You can't compare a V6 and 4 cylinder. Linear acceleration definitely better on a V6 unless the 4pot is turbocharged. Going to mazda6 from IS250 is only a segment upgrade. BTW you may want to try the car with ron97 and higher rpm during test drive. Less than 1.5tonne for a D-segment is consider light.

Bro, please read up the technology and foundation behind the build of SKYACTIV. Japanese engineer build the gear ratio and low rpm meant for fuel saving and reduce fatigue during long stop and go drive.

Mazda6 not meant for uncle car in the first place. Mazda philopshy always about drivers' car. Its not a turbocharged car so it don't meant to have high torque at low rpm. Have you driven TypeR? Low rpm sucks too. Maybe you can try a new tank of ron97 and drive it like with higher rpm range. Let say 3-6K rpm usage. To overtake you have to understand where is your max torque available at which rpm. Try have fun for a short drive driving above 3K rpm u may start to have fun with your 6.

No one here is insulting anyone. Please refrain yourself before calling out names. Bermaz had accepted the sound as part of design issue. Whether to be fixed with new parts, nobody know. You are going in and out of SC for 6 times and have immediate battery replacement by the SC. You are not leaving your car there for 6 months like some of the VW owner facing major issue. Problem may not be fixed but can be look at another angle for using the car. P/S: whoever bought Mazda no one care shit about the resell value. Its personal satisfaction of driving it daily.

before you calling someone kid, you shall check the background of the posters or at least have the courtesy of reading back past two (almost three) version of mazda6 threads.

HP and Torque on paper are practically useless if you cant put all that on the road. If you can put Camry Hybrid torque on a twisting road to be used, i would say you are professional driver. However in real life, camry chassis is so dumb that it might skidded off the road if you wanted to fully utilized the torque. Actually the mazda6 2.0 already sufficient to beat hands down on both accord2.4 and camry hybrid 2.5 on a twisting road that required a lot of usable torque and the chassis balance.

NVH is never being a strong point of Japanese sedan, any euro D segment give you much more pleasure. But, please be reminded of CKD and CBU quality and finishing. You may not have any strong point to deny the perfectionist of the Japanese at Hiroshima in producing car, compare to local cheap labor assembling the car for you.

In term of fuel consumption, without Hybrid our friend here "fadzly" able to achieve up to 1000KM in one real full tank scenario. FC is about the way you drive, hybrid dont help you much if you drive like a maniac like me. Comparing what i'm getting 450+-KM per tank which is good, as i travelling 120-160kph regularly. Its way better than my turbo vios only achieving 250km per tank

19" is about handling and look (subjective) so its factory fitted unless you changed to 18" which is more balance between handling and FC. If you really do want talk about power to weight ratio, you may want to check for the facts mazda6 is much lighter and have similar torque/hp. Mathematical calculation already leaning towards to mazda6, if you put both on the road there goes your camry hybrid.

Not sure who telling lies, could be mazda pay hell-a-lot of money to the car magazine and reviewer to have NCAP 5 stars, best in term of handling, best in term of real FC, 0-100kph in 7.x seconds, finalist of World Car Design of the Year 2014, blah blah. though i cant find any track time test for camry hybrid, else i can compare it.

Design wise, i doubt anyone can tell you camry is beautiful. if you just want to bigger car with slight better NVH and comfort from point A to B.
Hence what general common people perception its an "uncle car"

you may want to tail me for a week to see how exactly i drive.
actually i suffer the FC due to upgrade of 18" RIM from 17". i can cope with 100KM less per tank given the superior handling on my 8jj 18"

is call forum, where discussion taken place and knowledge being shared

well.......there is so many ppl of complaining the quieter F1 Hybrid Turbo and Formula-E. These applies to those on the road that common people might prefer the silence in the cabin. but for real car enthusiast, quiet is a bullshit thing to ask for. if you dont get orgasm from v6 turbo or v8, then you may prefer to get Camry Hybrid. of course im not saying noise from outside is the thing for orgasm

klang valley always one shit fella hogging the lane at 80kph at fast lane. you cant crusie 120-160kph long enough but enough for sprinting up to 160kph any time.

of course cant compare skyactiv 4cyc with v6 and v8 but did anyone complaint type-r 4cyc sound before?
i would say skyactiv 4cyc is the cheaper type-r 4cyc that allow you to rev up to 6.5K every gear shift or maintain at high RPM (3-6K)
due to EU emission control, the exhaust fck that silence the drone of high RPM 4cyc sound.

all this dont apply to a point A to B driver.
