I tested 1st gen mazda 6 in 2004, the power got nothing to shout about but handling was amazing; I then tested 2nd gen 2.5 in 2008, handling was less than 1st gen but still best in class and I bought it without 2nd thought; and I cant wait to register a 3rd gen, I believe it will pass my own test drive although some reviews say the handling is less amazing than 2nd gen. This is the confidence that mazda 6 gives to customers. No comment to A and C as every car has its characters that suit diff driving behaviours… and not mine for time being.

What I can afford is still Mazda 2 M/T
Compare with my sister’s Toyota Yaris M/T, the M2 gear pedal is more easy to kick, tak payah la

Although the RV for the M6 is slightly lower than the C or A by a few thousand ringgits, I believe that the tech of the car that we would be enjoying over the years would have already made up for the lower RV.

Sunroof, paddle shifters, full nappa leather seats, high tensile steel, better audio, 18″ (and now 19″) rims (including the spare wheel), full CBU… it’s already worth much more than the stupid prices the A and C are fetching for..

While 19 inch is a looker, its a pain on the pocket. I wonder how much it cost to even replace a single tyre. Even most luxury contis only stick to 18 inchers with a few exceptions on high end products.

I dun understand why Sam Loo comments on 17/1 were badly rated with 100 thumbs down as i see it his remarks are not too far off,except for his overrating for T makes.
On RV i tend to agree with him as i am also in used car market.
But bear in mind that Mazda now have a very good sets of wheels and their car are respected around the world.

Yeah…Bermaz is half asleep, going to wake up but UMW is also half asleep, going to sleep…that’s the difference…Toyota can produce any piece of junk but Malaysians will still buy it, so why put in effort?

i drive a camry now…but i hv no doubt Mazda’s resale value will go up in near future, given by what they do in terms of innovation and quality…The bottom line is : if the new generation mazdas manage to do well globally, this will boost the confidence of local distributors to invest more, (showrooms, 3S centres, dealers) , thus creating confidence among consumers, and the RV will not b an general issue. Hyundai is a good example. Imagine mazda is as big as say, Nissan locally..im sure many toyota, honda buyers will flock to mazda showooms..
Recent local newspaper reported that Mazdas hv been stolen from showrooms showing that there’s good demand for the brand..

Ala this Sam Loo is a real samdol!

Peugeot gives a lounge at Subang Skypark also no good; Mazda is better than Toyota.

Ok la Sam. You buy Toyota la. Nobody’s forcing you to buy the beautiful Mazda. Typical T salesman.

I wonder if some bond was tied to tan chong and car manufacturers. While nissan is doing fine, the way i see how motor image is screwing up sales of subaru in the asia pacific region is saddening. The fat son glenn tan if im not mistaken is a big buffoon.

Too bad Malaysia do not hv environment tax exemption. This car Co2 emission is very low & on par or lower then hybrid car. In Japan & europe, Mazda 6 is enjoying the environment tax exemption. Guess our road tax system shld revised base on CO2 emission & not on CC of the car.

Well, I agree with your points above.. but you only seem to point out the areas where Mazda 6 excels over the new BMW 320i and conclude that Mazda 6 wins the race?

What about torque figures?
The BMW has 270 Nm @ 1250-4800 RPM
whereas
Mazda 6 has 256 Nm at 3,250 rpm

0-100km/h acceleration: BMW at 7.3s while Mazda 6 at 7.8s

And the list goes on…

Both are good cars but of different segment.

I beg to differ that mazda 6 will be better drive than bmw 320. Don’t forget the current bimmer is running with a turbo. This helps a lot in driveability with the huge amount of torque at low rpm. That’s why a 2 litre NA engine can’t be compared to a lower cc car with turbo in term of driveability.
