Test drove the new mazda 6 today .
The car has a more upmarket feel about it then the last 6 and the gearshift is actually better than the euro in the manual, but other than that a bit of a disappointment.
Like it was said previously, engine is lacking character ,interior is nice but the exterior look bloated and quite ugly up close.
Big fat + for the 6 for me, can't wait to drive the new euro.
The source did not say anything about a wagon and I don't think that the earlier accord wagon sold very well in Australia. You don't see many on the roads.
I hope they bring in the wagon. The last time we had an Accord wagon was back in 1994 with the CD Accord. It's a different market now compared to before.
Well more and more technology is being crammed into cars, it can be a bit daunting at first but u get used to it. The steering wheel buttons are the most useful - keeps ur eyes on the road rather than reaching over to the dash to do the same thing.
still too any buttons
i could be flying jets before i mastered the euro cockpit!
It's still easier than say a Saab. LOL
The new cockpit looks cluttered with buttons because they replaced the 3 dials (passenger and driver temperature control and volume control) with 6 additional buttons instead.
Looks very similar too the current shape just minor makeup work.....as for the interior looks like they got rid of the 10 piece dash and settled for a two piece one instead, wonder if it will come with dash rattles this time ? Very civic like interior aswell especially the steering and knobs through out.
