not the engine vibration noise, it's the wind noise when you crushing at the speed of >100km/h.

I heard of the complain on wind noise too...as for the engine its extremely quiet to the extend when i stop the car, i thought i've already switch off the engine but its still running!! Mazda benefited very much from the sharing of platform especially with Volvo.
Interesting article to read here http://www.popularmechanics.com/automotive...rs/4262488.html

where u ppl do service? west msia got authorised service centre for mazda?

I think Mazda6 is probably the best looking Japanese Sedan out there. The 2.5L version offers more bang for the buck than the Accord or the Camry.

I can only think of 3 drawbacks to this car.

- There aren't many Mazda service centers around so this could be a hassle
- Spare parts are expensive
- Resale value maybe lower than average

to the road,not the engines...

The reason why Mazda engines have a growling sound is probably one of the zoom zoom factors giving it a sportier sound when driving at higher revs.

but annoying..if sum1 sleep beside the driver...

Jeez. At least give a better rebuttal. If the Mazda engine growls the same kind of noise as a lorry, then your reason is acceptable. There are even noisier sedans out there and people still manage to sleep. If a person is too sensitive to engine noise his / her sleep, perhaps he / she should not sleep in a car at all or maybe get a Lexus.

I forgot my booking date. It is somewhere around Mid June.

As for engine Noise, I had read a Magazine that the new Accord engine sound is actually louder than M6.

I believe in a reliability survey done, Mazda came out tops ahead of other car manufacturers.

But the most important thing to note about surveys like this is that the CBU Mazda you get here in MY is coming from the same factory and same car as those that the surveys were done worldwide and you can say that they are truly representative of the manufacturer unlike Mercs / Bimmers / Hondas / Toyotas that you need to check which factory they come from. Foreign magazines / surveys may say that a particular car is good but for Malaysian market when the car is CKD, the quality can consider gone.

Wah, change to 17" means changing rim. Big hole in pocket. 

Which 18" tyres do you recommend?
Errr, actually somehow everytime I admire a car, I don't have enough time to give an *** about the driver driving it since I'd be busy oggling at the car itself.
