Looks gd, but how much is it?

RM170-179K for the 2.5
RM140-149 for the 2.0L

Hmmm..thanks bro, for that kinda price, think it's worth it, cos of all d accessories. Very nice.

the pics seems like from grey importers. I don't think Mazda dealers will be bring such full pack.

This is the confirmed specs. (as far as the 2.5 goes) from Berjaya Mazda. The pics are of the pearl white while the lilia silver is not shown. Launching would be before Accord's 22nd April Launch.

The spec. is also confirmed by Mekar Wheels (Naza Sub) but their pricing, as usual and always, higher at 185K for the 2.5.

Now, waiting for the official price announcement from the official distributor (Bermaz) and see how it goes.

Looks good!

very nice! it has all the accessories that is lacking in our GT

such a beautiful car... but my pocket can't afford it
no wonder they were giving 18k discount for the old Mazda 6 model (Year 2006)

ya so elegant... in white color. Can't afford it since it is way above my budget.

Looks like d paddles are only for up shift and d down shift is at the steering column, kinda inconvenient.

Yeah with BOSE sound system, sunroof, HID, traction control and 6 airbags, 140k+ is a darn good deal.

It's going to be a steep fight between the 6 and new Accord. Of which, the latter will still win due to the brand image.

Brother don did not confirm if all the accessories gonna be in 2.0 or not.....

Ular_king,

I can confirm that the specs are for the 2.5. As for 2.0, it remains unclear.

bro ular u r right hahahah....they haf the missing things

ADVANCED KEYLESS ENTRY hahahahahah...unlike we all ..only OLD SCHOOL KEYLESS ENTRY hahahahah

i poison my whole office liao ....wif the pics...but alas...all kenot afford.......

but then new MAZDA3 around 138k for hatch back....think the mazda62.0 might be higher end of 140K...prob 149K......

i think surely the test drive queue will be long hahahaha.....like the GT last time :)

hahaha...maybe bro Donyong can give us some VIP pass for test drive

Here is the 360 degree view. VIP Treatment.

Interior - reminds me of our Lancer GT!!! LOL

damn...i'm calculating my bank account....

any taker on my redGT??LOL.........

sell to me...LOL!!!!

Jan999,

Is this the car you have been looking for? 5th Gear had the cheek to compare it with the Lancer GT (both diesel versions) Handling the same as the GT, except quieter, smoother and fuel efficient.

Btw, the M6 is Euro5 compliant which is explains why the bhp and Nm figures are comparatively low compared to the other direct competitiors.

LOL...i offered my GT to my colleagues alredi...

very futuristic look sport car

bro don,

its in the radar range. now got a taker but finalising with him. should he took it up, then probably u will see me in this soon?? or maybe new accord or in a Z...


i saw physical Mazda 6 in SG already... styling, 9.8/10. really, i love it at 1st sight!

Hmmm, I like the current Mata6 more...definitely like my gt much much more

This new Mata6 feels like the Seaweed...thy both look sci-fi futuristic. At 1st look, thy look interesting bcoz thy look different frm others...but like the Seaweed, after some time, the uniquely unconventional look begins to feel increasingly "odd" and out of fashion...the car is space-age looking, but dun have space-age performance.

As long as cars run on road and on 4 wheels, I prefer classic looking cars more, like mustang and camero. Fashion comes and go...but classics never die!!!

I like GT better. M6 looks a bit sissy... Just that GT lack of many accessories...

In terms of handling, not sure this Mazda6 can challenge GT or not ?

since they say its more comfortable in the mazda6... i doubt the handling would be better...

Hmmm, better than gt or not, I cant say for sure. However, Mazda is famous for their ZOOM ZOOM handling...current Mazda6 got the best handling in its class, beating Accord and Camry.

only 1 word, toyota is dead... vios not selling well enough, altis over priced, camry look old compared to new accord n mazda6... only selling avanza n hilux... they got a a hard time in our market liao... a champoin is falling slowly :)

The press release is this weekends. We will know confirm price by then la.

Need to test drive and compare with GT see how the performance :)
I guess M6 is said to be more comfy is bec of its wheelbase which is longer than GT (2770mm vs 2630mm)

I agree with alxand, toyota is dead...

vios, rush, innova, not selling...

only thing that seems to sell is the camry, not to say that there are more NEW buyers, but becos of the AP holdup, limited units coming in every month, hence seem moving...

new altis can go fly kite....

JAN999,

I'm thinking of the M6 too, handling is claimed to be as good as the GT. Test drive not available yet.

here is the UK brouchure, we are getting the 4 door luxury sport version.

I test drove the previous version - both the 2.0 and 2.3 versions - the ride is quiet, smooth and sporty too.
And power in the 2.3 is nice. Immediate response and good acceleration.
I'm sure the new one will be even better from what I've read so far.

donyong..i m intersting wit this car..
serious buyer lar..
so...can u comfirm when launch this car!!
n..ur location?may know more abt this car..pm me ur msn can?

If i have the budget, i would go for M6 than Accord or Toyota. It's a very fine car, and improved compared to previous version.

well as old ppl saying, honda n toyota r mass selling car, thus they gain in volume, while mitsubishi n mazda is lower volume player thus they r more niche in market n better in quality,
problem is tat it does not seem so in our market when the price is a factor, we can have a cheaper price for our car n u get a lancer quality, or price it higher n u get a mazda quality... so it's either u choose comfi or choose prici :)

Eldiabio,

The outgoing M6 was reviewed as a car with good handling and sportiness. However, 3 things were noted to be poor for this car from many reviews: -

1) Road noise;
2) Wind noise; and
3) Engine noise.

The new M6 is CLAIMED to rectify this problem. In Motortrader, a reader tested the new M6 2.5 and commented that it is quieter than the current camry. We'll wait and see. Launch date has been postphoned till May 08. They want to launch 4 new line-up at the same time. As for Naza, they are proceeding with their own launch date (without permission from Bermaz - the official Mazda distributor for Malaysia). I'm very wary of their pricing, since they always price what they want!!

donyong,

I guess it depends on what its compared to. Yes, probably if compared to camry - since it had firmer suspension, 17"s, potenza RE050 tyres and dual exhaust pipe system - but to me even the previous version was ok. It suited its more sporty nature without being too intrusive. Most of the camry's I've sat in or driven (stock) roll too much for my driving style but nothing beats the smooth ride around town.

i saw this new mazda 6 at NAZA WORLD today..and when i first look at it...hahaa..GT IS BETTER!!!!
it was not so nice when u see the real 1,compare to the pic...

by the way,they will be an ASTON on the road soon... those guys rili rich..

dnp,

You saw the 2.5 version or the 2.0 version? The 2.0 version is said to be VERY DISSAPOINTING!!!!

Last I heard, the 2.5 version is kept at the basement, the 2.0 kept at the showroom.

i think is 2.0L, when i first look at it im not interested already , so didnt see carefully, and i had sat inside the car, is quite normal inside...unlike GT,so sporty..hehee but it longer than our GT, n hard to handle it..like the honda accord, i juz got some scracthes on it because it was too long n big for me...my bro will scold me later...

i was reading the specs sheet from PDF file. i think it's underpowered for a 2.0L.

Here is the specification sheet for our region (Singapore & Malaysia the same)



The performance is lower because it Euro5 compliant.

hmmm 150 horses for 2.0L is so so... nothing to be excited about. the features are so so.

my opinion? other than the look, it's not worth it.

I'm pleased to inform that the new Mazda6 2.5L OTR Price with Insurance is RM171,516.20.

Please visit your local Bermaz Dealership. Please bear in mind this is not the NAZA pricing (with no warranty too!)

Ya lo, all toyota, honda and Mazda try to fool us wif those 2.0L Camry, Accord and 6...Seriously, 2.0L in a midsize family sedan is like baby heart for fat man body...heart failure can be very soon. Tats y i always tell ppl, if buy an accord, must go for the 3.5L V6...i think camry and 6 should bring in their V6 muscle also.

The M6 is same cat with the Accord and Camry. 2L is not suitable, under-power and bad FC. Both Accord and Camry 2.4L is very good. And when it comes to handling, the Accord is even better than the Camry. Therefore, if going for the M6, hv to go for the 2.5L. A friend of mine drives the previous M6 (before they down-grade the specs) the chili-red one. Its a beauty!

You are referring to this Vicky?

Price for 2.0 is 148K OTR ? how much is without insurance ? looks like a better choice than Camry or Accord 2.0 ??

problem is higher euro mean lower power... u try de-cat our car n power is better but as dcspeed told, it's smelly :)


plus this is kind of tvc promo tat attract ppl... not the tvc tat show a guy n a chick which is not hot on tv... hope someone will learn from this...

Alxand,

I know la, mazda hv to learn from MMM .... :brigging:

The specs. for the 2.0 are not available yet, however can be cofirmed,SIX airbags.

The nearest competitor should stop milking the rakyat!!!
