Heheh, to remain special, I think we better stop posting in this thread then...

mine is 2.5L, pearl white. Well, i would say the OTR mazda6 is still very limited, so we can still remain the unique of driving 6....I happened to bump into few new Accord and the drivers look at my 6.

Any fuel consumption to report?

pump twice since i got mine....based on current rate, my calculation shows 28 cents/km. Pretty good FC for a 2.5L car.

kizuna6 , full city drive ?

$0.28/km is accord 2.4 fc before petrol price increase!
now $0.39/km full city drive.

Don't you know that you get fuel rebate when you drive the 2.5L?

Just kidding. I suspect what kizuna6 reported is based on mixed driving. I would think FC for both 2.4L Accord and the 2.5L Mazda6 are about equal.

Did you have the 2.5 emblem on your car? I saw that in the test drive car..my opinion, cheap quality. It just didnt match the beauty of this car and the original Mazda 6 emblem..

Accord 2.4 = $0.25 per km. Not really as high as 28 cents.....

0.28 is possible in mixed driving and don't forget, new car sure drive very gentle...sayang the car and show off to the Accord drivers also la..

Aiyah, depends on the person's foot lor.

At the end of the day, driving style will be the determining factor for FC.

See the review of the Wheels Australia magazine and you'll see both the Accord and the Mazda6 tested in the same roads, driving condition and same driver will yield about the same FC at the end of the day.

my foot is heavy.
last time full tank rm105 drive for 370km only

If u drive gentle style(low rpm), there is a draw back for ur engine too, the carbon will build up inside ur engine.

So it is pure science here, Pros and cons on either side

Well, some people claim that a heavier foot gets them better mileage instead !

FC 28 cts/km is based on urban & some highway driving on my 6. I don't think accord FC is at 25 cts/km on today fuel price...

iceman, not sure what you mean by 2.5 emblem? My car come with std mazda6 emblem. It looks sharp and appear ok for me.

I think what iceman08 meant was the emblem on the driver's (rear) side. The one that says "2.5 CVT".

i'll go for mazda 6... BOSE sound system

jchue73, ic. I guess it should be Bermaz 'creation' to promote the MZR2.5L.

mayatsan, yes. the bose is good but not for rock/party songs...

I actually did not realy test the sound system. Just over normal radio which on any other decent car nowadays would sound good as good.

Anyway, for me, the BOSE is added bonus. Not a must have in my list of preference.

For my standard, those BOSE only score like 50%. They dont really good at all.

As for the paddle for FC, it really depend on how u press it. Even it is the difference is minimal I am more interested on how to protect my car reliability first.

btw, guys found this in google
