Signature 2.5T ?  Hoping you test it out with Premium gas.

It should be Premium. I’m assuming the press car company puts in whatever they manufacturer ask for.

It’s a G63

I’m with Nibby - I’d rather have the LX, personally.

DI you guess it was a 63 because they alm ost all are or is there a defining feature?

Good news...

We are planning a camping/off road trip here in it. Hoping to tow a camping trailer there, off road in the LX, then tow it back. Just over two hours away.     http://www.windrockpark.com/

This is a press car too. It’s either going to be the best Mazda 6 ever or the worst. I do have an absolute disdain for the infotainment.

You’re taking which car offroad?  The G63?

Spoiler alert - the infotainment sucks. I had it with the 124 Abarth and found it to be miserable.

Nah, that 2019 LX presser I get in Feb

Ah - much better car for that.  Pretty sure the G63 is no more useful than the Mazda off road.

Holy crap, the G63 gets 13 hahahah. Stuid Germans cant get the 15mpg of the LX.

i’d get... 14-15 mpg city in my 2015 ram 1500 with a hemi. highway, i could get around 21-22, 23-25 if I tried

I’ve gotten up to 27+ in the ISF on the two roadtrips I’ve done.

haven’t road tripped my F150 yet but would be curious to see how it does with that 2.7L ecoboost and 10 speed

That’s too bad. I didn’t think the one in the ND I tried two years ago was great either, but I figure the addition of CarPlay will make up for it.

I can’t believe you don’t like the infotainment. I love that little wheel thing, and  I despise having to touch screens while driving.

I’ll have to play with it a bit more but my experience with the 124 Abarth(Miata)  screen as poor at best.

I’m intrigued about that one. I’ve had quite a few crossovers at this point so it’s easy to see the difference . The Acura guy did a good job of selling the car as a good one to test. It’s the first next gen Acura out

SH-AWD is great. My TL has it, and it makes the TLX handle a lot better.

It’s better than the Lexus mousepad shit. It’s not the best but at least you have that controller knob with easy shortcuts, or the Infiniti/Acura dual screens one you can touch one you cannot

My ideal system would be something ONE screen where you can use both touch and knob controller regardless of whether you’re stopped or moving.

Lexus has almost transitioned off of the mouse. It’s now a track pad which I tend to like.

An iDrive type knob is better IMO , keep the trackpad on top of it for handwriting inputs for a ll I care . On I knob controller I know one single push/pull move any direction means going to the next item on the menu instead of moving my finger few mm and then looking at the screen and seeing where the cursor is. It’s fine if you’re at your office desk, not ok while driving. Unless perhaps it has 1 to 1 mapping like the new RDX where right corner touch corresponds exactly to right corner menu item on the screen .

It’s coming up on the list right? T est it out vs a L exus trackpad and tell us which one you like better.

Yep! RDX c omes up in a few weeks.

The trackpad is nice because it does give feedback when you hit something you might want to press. Also, Lexus and Toyota still provide volume and tuner knobs!!!!

Looks quite nice in white. Curious to read how much more stuff the Signature has over my Touring.

Just went to RFD and there’s already a signature 6 review up. Will yours be like a second take or a roadtrip review?

I looked at a Mazda 6 when I was car shopping.

Mere disdain is insufficient. It crashed while the salesguy was trying to show how it worked. Then it crashed when he tried to show Apple Carplay.

Good to know haha. I’ll probably find some random take I have just like I ended up doing with the Optima Turbo. We operate out of separate Press Company Locals and get doubled up/will take whatever they give us.
