About the wind noise, we all the owner talked about this many pages/threads back. This is not a quiet car, but I've grown "lali" already. Only felt it everytime I hop in front nice quiet taxi after outstation trip.

Hehe. Lucky you manage to be with the car for so long before this problem appear. No worries we don't have a rainy days all year long.

The service ctr will dissasemble the front lower arm for this. It is 3 hours job.

Eh I think can challenge la.
This thread so quiet already, evryone move to FB already?
Anyway, any 2.5 owner want to sell your rim?

It is not exactly underpower. The power is sufficient especially if u go to "power mode" i.e pressing the pedal until "click" sound for quick acceleration. Top speed I am not sure but 210km/h is achievable.

However, 2.5L should be superior.

Fuel consumption? Around 7.5L/100km. Can be lower and has been achieved by fellow member here.

Wind noise? I dont feel it anymore. But of course there is a wind whispering if you are speeding. Tyre noise sometimes can be heard too. But none are deal-breaker.

I tested my mazda6 and the new accord over the same road. Accord is slightly quieter, seat a bit firmer. Mazda6 steering has more feel but Accord steering rim is nicer to hold as it is fatter. Mazda6 suspension is firmer.

Nope. Thats why I put in " ". What I meant is press the pedal until "click" sound.

Agree!!

The red car with plastidip black wheel is actually from Malaysia.

Anyway I really dig those 20' alloy wheel ever since I found that mazda forum. But perhaps 19' with 245 section tyres is already sufficient to fill the arch.

But for me the 1st I want to change is DRL bulb coz 2.0 car comes with a non-pretty yellow bulb. The kit to change it to white LED is actually on ebay.

Japan's Mazda6 (Mazda Atenza) 2.0 is already wearing the 19' alloy wheel. So it shouldn't be an issue. Furthermore both 17' and 19' are sharing the 225-wide tyre. The only disadvantage is only perhaps the pick-up.

On the way back yesterday, I came across Mazda transporter carrying a sole Mazda6 2.0. Upon closer look, it looks like there is a lip spoiler at the back! Refer to the photo below, or I put in my blog too.

I don't know if this is FOC, but in US it is sold as accessories for more than 100dollar! I sms my SA but got no reply yet to confirm. If it is indeed the new batch come with lip spoiler, you guys the new batch owner are very lucky indeed!

Anyway, it has been six month and 25,000km of living with my Mazda6

According to Mazda6club forum, if there's no wire cut, meaning plug and play, it won't void the warranty. I saw a lot of Mazda CX-5 running around with white DRL where their DRL is originally like the Mazda6 2.0L which is yellow, so I guess there must be a way to do it.

anyway, our warranty is only until 60,000km only right? or is the free service but the warranty still goes on until 100,000km. Funny I don't exactly know my own car warranty (my peroduas before this all goes until 100k km warranty).

My SA has replied. They are selling accessories now. Lip spoiler, spare tyre( together with the boot new housing), kick plate, auto fold side mirror, auto-lock.....

My SA told me it is RM2k too. But from the photos he gave me it is not full size, but the space saver type. RM2K however include the new boot floor housing ( dunno what is it called, it is the black structure holding our pumps and repair kit currently) because the current one wont enable the storing of tyre.

Can't really see the size i think. But said it is space saver because the word "temporary use only" can be seen clearly. SA said ori from Japan.

But at RM2k....I think it is quite steep.....

Yes.

Some times back, I heard from a fren that Toyo tyres does not last long. It is quiet and grippy but wear out quicker.

Now I think it is true. My Mazda6 is now 32k km already and tyres beginning to look not too well. They are evenly worn, but wear out nevertheless. My past cars usually can last 50-60k km on each tyre set.

Guys what is your interpretation on warranty for our car? Although free service is only for 60k km, warranty is until 100,000km right?

Congrats. Enjoy your 6.

Lucifal,
Are there any accessories for Mazda6?

As I said some page back, the spare tyre can be bought at Glenmarie HQ. My SA said it is RM2,000.

Anyway, a warm welcome to the new Mazda6 owner!

Our Mazda6 is incredibly aerodynamics, with drag coefficient of merely 0.26. This is one of the factors that contribute to the great fuel saving. One means of achieving this is the fully covered underbody.

This though has a disadvantage. The fairing is plastic. I sometimes bottomed it, or hit an unknown debris on the road and this was what happen sometimes back. The debris has hit the mounting and broke the panel, leaving it hanging.

I fixed this using bigger washer beneath the bolt you see. I don't think I want to replace the complete fairing panel on that piece. It was fine for a few month. Recently, during this heavy rain season, I hit a biiiiig water puddle and suddenly there's a loud sound coming from underneath the car and gets louder as I drive as if I am dragging something.

I stopped the car and have a look, the entire piece that the was broken earlier has been torn off its washer fixing and been hit the road (due to the water force) and bended to the road. I unknowingly dragged it further, and this ripped another mounting or two.

I fixed it the next day using another bigger washer and replaced the nut where applicable. But it may happen again as the broken part is still not fixed and temporarily hold using washer and nut.

Lesson learnt is, go to Mazda and seek their proper advice.

Hehe. If the club not on facebook I would have joined right from the day one. Anyway, it has been 10 months and 39,000 km of driving the Mazda6....
