I have questions for Mazda 6, am driving a Mazda 6 2019 model for 2 years.

1. I realized my side mirror has problem keeping/opening. How much does it cost if I get fix outside or change the whole mirror?

2. Has anyone install the Mazda 6 Real CF Ram Air Intake? I saw on FB it's
popular. How much does it cost? Is there real improvement?

3. For touch up of paint etc which workshop do u guys recommend? How much does it cost?

Deeply appreciate some guidance and feedback on the price etc, thanks in advance.

1. It’s common issue for Mazda 6, easy to claim warranty if send in TEK assume your car is 2 years old car and still under warranty, no question ask. 
2.you can consider buy from TaoBao or Carousell about $150, and find a workshop to install about $60 which is cheaper alternative. If direct buy from workshop which definitely cost a bit more about $350; 

3. can get it from TEK about $20 or SPC about $10 plus.

It is outside the car, after car is parked and engine off. This is very near exhaust. Not too loud but if you kind of near the trunk or sitting down near the rear wheel, you can hear it. 
 

Anyway, it seems normal but will check with TEK again on any potential solution. It is just annoying.

Hi all. Mazda 6 2.0 executive is currently priced 114k. Camry hybrid pi is priced around there, maybe a few k higher. 

Prices both about same.

One is 2.0 /road tax 1200ish, one is 2.5/rd tax 1600ish 

FC definitely Camry better. Which one will you choose?

Must compare like for like ma... Hybrid vs non-hybrid not a fair fight... =D Is the camry made in japan or thailand?

114k also can also buy audi a3 leh (not sure whether promo is still on)... Did you also read this thread? The mazda cars super smart, but end up alot of issues also... See if you okay to keep troubleshooting and repairing or just want a more bare bones and less headache car (toyotas notorious for very jia lat backdated interiors and gadgets)...

No brainer  .. camry .. different league ! But must tahan all in Jap and forgo warranty with PI to save heartache.

Btw, FC not given .. just pump mazda 6 at 700km to the tank.

Also forget about audi a3, it is a normal jap car without the reliability but an audi badge.

Cheers.

Hi Mazda 6 owners, for those with babies or toddlers using child seat at the back, is the low roof a problem? Do you keep hitting your head when lifting the kid in, or worse, hit your child's head?

I heard it’s some kind of new ruling by the company, if caught can risk his rice bowl. 
Apparently there was some lawsuit case for this car mat thingy. Not too sure how far it’s true

Mazda 6 drives better. Better interior. Camry pi model unless top spec. The base ones seems more plasticky in many ways.

My 2cs nia. Prob a bit bias way. Hee.

Audi a3 is all rite if u wan2 a small car. Decent. Interior dated liao but well made together. Handles as well as mazda 6. Though size is small but if those who wan2 that size with a badge. Its a good buy at the price point

I found it a bit tight and low. But overall still can put the kid in without hitting head. The bigger issue was after putting child seat on one side of the rear, the center seat cannot seat an adult due to the higher center floor tunnel. Mine was the pre facelift 2017 model but height/size wise shd be same as current one.

That's one of the reason why I chose to change to my current SUV. Easier to load kids and old folks.

Thanks for the info. By the way, if the child seat is at the 40 side, can the 60 side still be folded down? Or blocked?
