The IT Nerd

This week I have the second of three refreshed models from Mazda which is the 2016 Mazda6 GT. Last year’s model won the IT Nerd Award Winner For The Best Car Under $40K last year. Exterior wise, the changes are subtle:

It still uses Mazda’s Kodo design language to produce a bold looking car: They have made some tweaks that you would have to carefully look for to notice. My advice is to look at the review for the 2015 model and compare the two. One thing to note is that there’s new LED daytime running lights and fog lights that look really cool.

From the side the wheels that come with the GT trim level really make a statement.

And from the rear, you get new LED taillights to make a statement with those who are following you.

One thing that I should note is that every person that saw me in this car used words like “stylish”, “bold”, “classy” and “sophisticated.” Clearly Mazda has hit a home run with the design.

I’ll be posting a multi-part review that will cover the following sections:

• Engine, transmission, handling, fuel economy, and driving comfort
• Interior
• Technology in the vehicle
• Wrap up

Without giving too much away, I can say that all the changes that Mazda made to the Mazda6 really make an already good vehicle even better. But one area they didn’t change is the power train and handling. I’ll be talking about that tomorrow. Stay tuned!
