well,

just now just sat in the Mazda 6 2.5 (sat only not test drive) at midvalley. they having a mazda showcase there...

i must say, i envy ppl who own this bad boy... the built quality (interior) is much better than the new accord. the feeling when holding the steering is awesome. the paddle-shift is cool. a lot of buttons on the steering though. the leather touch is damn nice. the dashboard is fine. plus the car is sexy looking! smile.gif

hope i got lucky, so my next car would be a mazda.. hehe smile.gif

We dont care about TS, the topic lives on. And I would prefer mod to rename the topic to "2008 Mazda6" than the current one, because most of the time we are talking about the new Mazda6 than talking Accord.

I think if you want to caution other people about respecting other people's thread, you should start respecting billytong by being polite with your choice of words. smile.gif

The report button is there for you to use it wisely and up to the mods to decide if it's warranted. It's not our style to take matters into our hands by creating friction. Cheers.

to jchue73 - i think u failed to see the lines properly and hence took the liberty of highlighting it in red for your eyes. it might be a mistake for me to say that the "WE" refers to you and him ? no ? now move along and back on topic.

You don't have to highlight it in red for me (or we/us as in the collective public ! rolleyes.gif ). I'm not colour blind. I can perfectly read it and admittedly, to some people, billytong's sentence may sound arrogant. But like I mentioned, if you are not pleased with his sentence, please report the post to the mods (report me too if you think "we" refers to me and him biggrin.gif ) and not take it personally by hurling abuse.

It would have been no issue for me if you had politely remarked him.

To be honest jchue, I have been very patient on the said individual on his multiple personal remarks across the forum. Thx for defending me. smile.gif

At first I would make an apology to TS (if he is still here) if TS finds my statement offensive. As I was just suggesting the thread topic to be change for the best of the community, because most of us is talking about Mazda instead of Honda, and TS is nowhere to be found since 2.5 months.


Btw, Jchue got your car yet? tongue.gif

Having driven my M6 for one week now..like to update u guys on my experience...First of all this car is really more than the look. Handling was superb plus the feel on the steering was awesome..for those who says mazda NVH is bad, obviously they have not tested the new M6. Even the starting of engine was so quiet that sometimes i have to step on the accelerator to confirm. Once I almost forgot to switch off the engine because you almost dont hear anything if your air cond is off. Only when i close the door, and the car buzzer warn me that my engine is still running...
Welcome mode with lights activated one by one and the zoom zoom tone really makes me smile..its like having a close relationship with this car. All in all, great great car...Accord? Whats that? hmm.gif

I would say Accord is aiming for diff kind of market, luxury classy type. And I certainly do not like the look of it. It makes me older by 10yrs. No offense. tongue.gif

i went midvalley last sunday. i saw mazda having roadshow.
i have seen the Mazda6. What i can say is the features is totally win over accord and camry. the steering and paddle shift is awesome. as if u using F1 steering. the interior quality is better than accord. the leather seat quality is superb. i really envy the 18' Rim, really sexy.
another thing is the seat comfort is better also than accord. maybe is the imported leather??
if u never concern about the resales value... pls go get mazda 6. everyone will looking at u when u driving on the road..

Added on July 30, 2008, 9:29 pmanother thing i wan to add is , the mazda salesman is friendly and humble enough to entertain and serve the customers, im serving really well by them eventhough there is a big crowd over the roadshow, i really get surprise as get such a outstanding service by them. unlike toyota salesman and some honda salesman is pretty unfriendly n unhelpful sometimes (maybe they are in top sales)

certainly not trying to bash just my personal opinion..sorry if you felt that way... just take it as a pinch of salt. Feature-wise we all know M6 have far more than what Accord/Camry offered. I think many ppl misunderstood that Accord in the luxury market and should have more comfort than M6..
MY definition of comfort should include NVH, handling and acceleration, good sound system..add to this Mazda 6 has day/night rear vision mirror, its a powered mirror that automatically dim the light from the cars behind you thus reduce glare to the driver, even the car behind with high beam it will cut the glare..talking about pampering!! Mazda 6 clearly beats Accord easily in almost every area...again my personal opinion after tested Accord and driven my Mazda 6. The only concern is the service center which is quite inexperience with this car..but I was told to go to authorised dealers where they are more experience...i will have to agree also the resale value will not be better than Accord...but this M6 should be better now since the demand is much higher plus the loads of features than the previous M6. Good resale value reflected from high volume sales...again my personal opinion. If only more ppl know what this M6 offer, they buy it and resale value will go up..IMHO.
