I have earlier stated that I think the heat in the 6 is good. That is still true. The heating system has all the heat you need and then some.
But HEATING isn't good. The automatic climate control of the 6 simply doesn't put the right amount of heat where you need it, when you need it.
This results in cold hands and cold feet. This at a temperature setting of 21 degrees Celsius (69.8 F). I spoke to my dealer about this, and he acknowledged the problem, but said that you just has to turn the dial up to about 23 C instead. Well, it's not quite that simple.
At 23 C you get too much heat at face level, and just barely comfort heat down at your feet.
So, is there no solution to this? Do you have to freeze or get uncomfortably warm? No, you don't. You can switch to manual and put the air exacly as you wish. But then you have to keep changing the settings as it get colder/warmer outside.
Is this a big problem? Not heat-wise. But I consider it a major flaw because I've paid some serious cash for this vehicle. A retune, Mazda, please! I hope it's just to exchange a chip!!!
On a side-note I have to tell you that my old 626 had a WAY better heating with the ACC. Sad, but true...:sarc
