How does the Atez drive? I just want to hear the owner’s real experience with the car?

Hello friends, I am the real owner of the 2017 Atez 2.5 Sport Blue, located in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, and a member of the MOC Owners Club. I will now share with you my experience of using the car. For reference.

Mazda can be said to be a breath of fresh air among Japanese cars. It insists on naturally aspirating and pioneering Chuangchi Blue Sky technology, and is dedicated to the research of rotary engines and works tirelessly. The car company that is said to be the most individual and self-assertive among Japanese cars is none other than Mazda. Although its mid-sized car Atez has low sales, it is well received. A brief review of the advantages and disadvantages of Atez is as follows:

First, let’s talk about the advantages of Atez.

1. Dynamic and stylish appearance. Mazda's cars are always beautiful. I have never heard of Mazda being ugly. The slender front and short and lean tail create a smooth and dynamic appearance. Coupled with the Soul Red color, the sporty atmosphere is just right.

2. Full of driving pleasure. Mazda is known as the BMW of Japan. Chuangchi Blue Sky technology has fully optimized the engine, gearbox, chassis, etc. The whole vehicle is very coordinated and full of driving pleasure. Compared with the sports benchmark BMW 3, it can be said to be evenly matched, which is commendable for a front-wheel drive car.

3. Save fuel and worry. Mazda has been rated as the most fuel-efficient car company in the United States for five consecutive years. The Atez is equipped with 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engines, with a fuel consumption of seven to eight liters per 100 kilometers. In terms of quality, Atez also performs outstandingly.

The shortcomings are also obvious.

1. The level of sound insulation and noise reduction is average. The Mazda owner said that when he starts his car every morning, the whole village knows that he is going to work. The sound insulation and noise reduction levels of Mazda cars have never been good enough, which has also been deeply complained by consumers.

2. Poor comfort. Comfort and control have always been contradictory. The suspension adjustment of sports-oriented cars is on the hard side, which suppresses roll very well, but the comfort performance is insufficient. For young people, you don’t have to worry about it, but for middle-aged and elderly people, Teana and Camry are better choices.

3. Prices are strong. The pricing of Mazda cars is not low, and it will not significantly reduce prices even if sales are not high, which also keeps consumers away. Compared with American cars, discounts of tens of thousands are often more attractive.

Mazda Atez is positioned as a sporty mid-size car, which is quite suitable for young people. However, young people are under great pressure and do not have much budget to buy a car, so they can only give up silently. When funds are sufficient and the children are older and the parents are older, Atez is not very suitable for a family to use a car. Therefore, Atez was well received but not popular.

Hello, I am a member of Zidai. Qingdao. I have a 17-year-old 2.5 model and have driven it for nearly 30,000 kilometers. Let me briefly talk about the advantages and disadvantages of the Atez (I am not a professional). , please bear with me if I speak the vernacular)

Advantages: First of all, Atez’s appearance, I believe most people wouldn’t think it is ugly after seeing him, right? Especially the unique hybrid red color can easily capture the hearts of young people! In B-segment cars, Atez's appearance is definitely among the top three

The power of Atez is not very explosive (compared to those turbine cars), but it is definitely smooth. , it’s easy to pedal, the power is direct, and it won’t be sloppy. The gearbox and engine match well, and the control is considered to be top-notch in the same class. The chassis is very tight, and it can give people enough confidence when cornering!

The fuel consumption is relatively low in the same class. After all, the powertrain of Chuangchi Blue Sky is here. When driving stop and go in the city, I calculated that it is only about 9 liters. This is still I never turn on automatic start and stop, and when I get on the highway, I can easily cruise within 6 liters!

Disadvantages: Atez’s space does not have any advantage in its class, especially the rear headroom. In order to take into account the streamlined shape, some headroom must be sacrificed, and the interior The assembly process is average. Many people say that Mazda spends all its money on things we can't see. When I raised the chassis, I verified this statement again. The chassis is very neat!

Sound insulation is also a major drawback of Atez. The main culprit is the large 19-inch wheels and matching tires. Then there is Mazda’s sound insulation effect, which is indeed not very good. If you want A quiet and comfortable car, then obviously, it is not suitable for you. Moreover, the reversing image occasionally blacks out. I have encountered it twice in a year and a half. It was solved perfectly after restarting. This is not a big problem. One thing I hate is that the paint on Atez's car is really thin. A small scratch will not take any advantage.

Let me just say this briefly. , I have little talent and knowledge, and if I say something wrong, please forgive me! Welcome to add! Finally, on behalf of the Qingdao Artez Car Club, welcome everyone to join us! Thank you

Don’t worry about the quality of the three major items. Generally speaking, the comfort is much better than that of Volkswagen, but the tire noise and chassis sound insulation effect are worse. Later, you can install the whole car sound insulation, it is best to choose 2.5 rows In terms of quantity, my friend regretted the 2.0. He said it would be better to pay more than 10,000 to buy a 2.5 displacement. The fuel consumption is not high and the handling is better than most cars. After all, it is known as the Japanese BMW

The owner of Atez has always been called a "car-savvy person" by netizens, and was once known as the "King of Corners" in history. However, despite its high reputation, it has never been able to cover up the embarrassing situation of Atez's popularity but not its popularity. Today, Brother Jiang will take his eldest brother to review the road to the coronation of the king of corners, Mazda 6 (Atez).

Before we talk about Mazda 6, let’s first review the history of Mazda. The Mazda brand can be traced back to 1920. Its founder, Matsuda, started by producing wine corks in Hiroshima. In 1931, Mazda began to produce three-wheeled trucks and began to get involved in the automobile manufacturing industry. In 1940, it began to produce cars. In 1984, the company was named after its founder Matsuda. The transliteration of "Mazda" was officially adopted in translation.

Although the first-generation Mazda 6 was born in 2002, before the birth of the Mazda Atenza (Mazda 6), it was called Capella, and there were 7 generations of products in one generation.

The first-generation Capella was launched in Japan in 1970 and launched in overseas markets the following year. Because of its rugged American style, it was particularly popular in the United States. It was the peak of the development of rotary engines at that time, and it was equipped with a rotary engine code-named 12A. The Mazda RX-2 is also a classic model born under this background. However, due to the changes of the times and the outbreak of the energy crisis, the rotary engine encountered a major crisis. Mazda, which was betting on the rotary engine, was also acquired by Ford of the United States.

As a result, the fourth-generation Capella has the opportunity to be produced on the same platform as Telstar, the predecessor of Mondeo. The biggest change is that a model named 626GT uses a 2.0L turbocharged code-named FET for the first time. The emergence of a compression engine made the Capella even more sporty.

The last generation of Capella was launched in 1998 and was discontinued in 2002. This generation of Capella officially changed its logo to the familiar Mazda seagull logo.

Since then, the Capella has been replaced by the Mazda6. The Atez we are now familiar with is actually the Japanese name of the Mazda 6, Atenza, which is derived from the Italian "Attenzione", which means "attention".

This meaning is worthy of its name. In that era, almost all mid-level cars were focused on business, so the vehicle shapes were almost all moderate and stable styles. The birth of Mazda 6 subverted everyone's concept of mid-size cars. It turned out that mid-size cars could be so young and sporty. The unique Mazda 6 captured the attention of consumers at that time.

The reborn first-generation Mazda 6 won the title of "King of Corners", and this generation of Mazda 6 has also become the most classic generation model to date.

Since the first-generation Mazda Atenza (Mazda 6) landed in China in 2003, this B-class car has shaped almost all fans’ impressions of Mazda, with its sporty styling, surging power, and flexible The handling and cornering performance are significantly better than those of cars in the same class.

Anyone who has driven this generation of Mazda 6 knows that its reputation as the king of corners is not in vain. In order to give the Mazda 6 excellent handling, Mazda engineers carefully tuned the chassis of this generation of models, and the sporty double-wishbone independent front suspension, E-type multi-link rear suspension and many advanced electronic equipment also provided Its cornering handling is supported.

In the actual vehicle test, the Mazda 6 passed through sharp corners at a speed of 110 kilometers per hour without slowing down, fully demonstrating its ability as the king of corners. The first-generation Mazda6 was equipped with two engines, 2.0L and 2.3L. The 2.0L engine had a maximum power of 145 horsepower, while the 2.3L model had a maximum power of 168 horsepower.

In terms of gearbox matching, Mazda 6 before 2006 all used a 4-speed manual transmission, but after 2006, it was replaced by a 5-speed manual transmission and a 6-speed manual transmission. box. The powertrain at that time was also the prototype of Mazda's later promotion of "human and horse integration".

Mazda 6 brings not only a sports car, but also Mazda’s “zoom-zoom” brand concept. “zoom-zoom” has also become popular with Mazda’s advertising. According to Mazda, ZOOM-ZOOM is a way for children to imitate the roar of an engine. Mazda wants to inspire everyone's childhood desire and dream for speed by designing a car.

Old car fans will know that in addition to the sedan version, Mazda 6 also launched a Wagon model. The dynamic shape got rid of the clumsy posture of the previous station wagons, but the high price made the Mazda 6 station wagon sales at that time Dismal, production ceased in 2006. But even so, it still has many fans because of its classic shape, and it is also a hot-selling car in the second-hand car market.

Although Mazda 6 is a classic of its generation, careful car enthusiasts will also find that there is no model named Mazda 6 on the market now, and it is replaced by Atez. All this stems from FAW Mazda’s same-room sales strategy.

In 2009, the second-generation Mazda 6 was officially launched. Since the first generation of Mazda 6 is still on sale, in order to facilitate differentiation, Mazda named the second-generation Mazda 6 "Rui Wing".

Although the Ruiyi has a smoother, younger look, a more luxurious interior, and uses a new 2.5L engine, which echoes Mazda's slogan of the time of "human and vehicle integration, spiritual and universal integration", but It has not recreated the glory of Mazda6.

The third-generation Mazda 6 has officially been renamed Atez and is no longer called Mazda 6. It was unveiled in 2012 and only launched in China in 2014. For the first time, Mazda’s proud Creation Blue Sky technology and soul-moving design concept are adopted.

Although the styling of the first-generation Mazda 6 is still not out of date, the Atez's soulful design concept definitely meets the aesthetics of most people, especially when paired with Mazda's unique soulful red, it is even more eye-catching. Heart-warming, indeed beautiful. The addition of Soul Motion and Chuangchi Blue Sky is also destined to make the third-generation Mazda 6 Atez a landmark model.

At the upcoming Geneva Motor Show, some media photographed the Atez Travel Edition at the Mazda booth.

In recent years, station wagons have suddenly become popular. Will Mazda seize the trend and launch the Atez station wagon again in the Chinese market? Although it seems unlikely at the moment, it is worth looking forward to.

When it comes to the Mazda brand, many people will think of its persistent design concept, its serious heart, and of course the rotary engine that car fans will never forget.

Secondly, it is also mentioned in the 1997 movie "Black Gold". Zhou Chaoxian, played by Tony Leung Ka Fai, said the line "You drive a Mazda, you are not qualified at all" at a social gathering. Come to a meeting." Although Mazda was innocently accused, it can be regarded as taking a step towards becoming a "Japanese BMW".

The history of Mazda6 can be regarded as ups and downs. From a great seller in the beginning, to struggling due to fierce competition in the middle, to now, the latest soulful design has once again attracted everyone's attention. It is indeed not easy to go step by step, but Mazda's rigorous pursuit of technology and persistence in car control are moving. Whether it is the Mazda 6 generation or the Atez that now has a Skyracing engine, GVC and soulful design, the king of corners is still walking in the world.

I am one of the first owners of Atez, a 2.0 luxury model. I bought it in 2014. I have driven it for more than four years and run more than 60,000 kilometers. Let me tell you my feelings.

Advantages:

1. Stylish appearance. Needless to say, the styling of the Atez is still good even after 4 years compared with current new cars, especially the Soul Red color, which looks even more dynamic in the sunlight.

2. Save fuel. Atez is still very fuel-efficient. Every time I refuel, I record it in the Little Bear fuel consumption record. The comprehensive fuel consumption over 60,000 kilometers is 7.57, of which 50% is smooth urban sections, 20% is congested urban sections, and 30% is highway. I am very satisfied with the fuel consumption level of a 2.0 car. Riders in the car enthusiast group said that the fuel consumption of the 2.5 is not much higher than that of the 2.0, about 1-1.5L higher. In terms of comprehensive power and fuel consumption, the 2.5 is more fuel-efficient.

3. The gearbox responds quickly. Although the Atez's gearbox is a 6AT, its logic is very smooth and the response is very fast. It should be the fastest response in the same price range. Although the power is average, the gearbox makes up for the lack of power. Basically, it can be said that it can be driven wherever you go. have.

4. Good control. Regardless of the 4.8-meter body of the Atez, it has good handling, sensitive steering, and is not abrupt. This advantage cannot be reflected on ordinary urban roads and highways, but can be reflected even more on provincial highways.

5. The tires are durable. My model is 2.0, equipped with Hankook R17 225/55 tires. Although the tires are noisy, they are durable and wear-resistant. I drove my Atez to 318 and 217, and also walked on many bumpy roads. Yes, nothing happened to the tires. Please ignore the 2.5 tires. 2.5 tires have 19-inch tires and are not durable. Replacing tires is expensive, costing more than 1,000 a tire.

Disadvantages:

1. Big tire noise. The other side of the tire's durability is the loud tire noise. This is something you can't have both, and there's no way around it. Especially when passing through roads with large asphalt particles, the noise is really unbearable. I plan to switch to Michelin ones, which are quieter and more comfortable.

2. Poor sound insulation. I don't know if it's a problem with the streamlined body or the manufacturer's reluctance to bear costs. The sound insulation of the old model is very poor, which is not what a mid-level car should perform, especially the 2014 model. I basically don't open the windows when driving because I can't stand the noise. However, the new model seems to have improved. I haven’t tried the car, so I don’t know how the improvement is.

3. The paint surface is thin. Soul Red does look good, but the paint surface is so thin that it will leave marks if something hard touches it. My car is so scarred that I don't bother to touch it, and it will get scratched anyway.

4. The rear space is slightly smaller. The wheelbase of the Atez is very long, but it is basically placed in the engine compartment, leaving not much space in the cockpit. The rear space is average, which would be better if it could be improved.

The power of 5.2.0 is average. The power of 2.0 can only be said to be sufficient. If you want to enjoy it, buy the 2.5, not the 2.0.

There is a buddy who is relatively rich, has driven many good cars (for us ordinary people, such as GTR), has good driving skills, and likes cars very much. He changes cars relatively frequently and has his own unique views on cars. He bought a 2.5L Atez in the second half of 2018, and I talked to him specifically about this issue. I think his opinion makes some sense.

First of all, in terms of control alone, Atez is not very good. As others often say on the Internet, saying that Atez controls better than 3 Series and A4 is purely bragging. The tenth generation Accord The control may be better than Atez (at least not worse).

The biggest advantage of Atez is that it is very comfortable to drive. In the words of a friend, Atez made him feel that the car understood him. The logic of the gearbox, the feedback from the chassis, and the steering are all a bit "empathetic", which means that if you want it to do something, it will actually do it, and the man and the horse become one.

Other advantages are that it is handsome and fuel-efficient, which are outstanding in its class. Needless to say about the appearance, I believe most people would not think the Atez is ugly. What about the fuel consumption? With a displacement of 2.5L, it has a combined fuel consumption of more than 8 per 100 kilometers, which is lower than some turbochargers.

The shortcomings are also obvious. The first is that the space in the rear row is relatively small compared with competitors in the same level. But my friend mainly commutes to and from get off work and has no requirements for this. Moreover, the rear space of Atez is enough, but it is still far behind cars like Magotan and Accord.

Another thing is that it is noisy. Not to mention the sound insulation, the cold start sound is very loud, and even if the car is parked on the roadside, the noise is quite loud when starting. It will be a little embarrassing if there are people in the car. , it seems that the grade of the car is not high...

The above are all shared by the buddy, and then I did a little processing. The questioner can refer to the weighing. Atez is a car with clear advantages and disadvantages. If you love it, you won't choose it. If you don't like it, you won't even take a look at it. Since the questioner is worried about it, I think it is very likely that he will choose it in the end.

2020 2.5 Blue Sky Sport, I picked up the car in April and have driven 20,000 kilometers so far. Let’s talk about the good points:

1. It’s really easy to drive and silky smooth. No frustration, linear acceleration and no nerves!

2. Many people say that the rear seat is small. I mainly drive the three cars at home, so the utilization rate of the rear seat is not high. However, I drove 3,200 kilometers for a trip in July. There is enough space for two people, the rear seat cushions are wider than Magotan, and the backrest is also soft!

3. In terms of noise, the 20 model feels okay. I drive a lot on the highway, and my car meter shows 7 fuel. I calculated the average of 7.6, 7.7, and the 2.5 displacement is indeed considered fuel efficient.

The biggest disadvantage: The abnormal noise occurs randomly. My car is more interesting. The abnormal noise does not occur all the time. It occurs irregularly and rarely, which is really annoying. I hope the factory price will be settled as soon as possible

I have a Mazda Atez and an old Mazda Ruiyi at home.

Because it’s not mainly my fault, let’s just say it briefly.

First of all, if you don’t pay so much attention to the brand or the so-called German car theory, I personally feel that in the range of 150,000-250,000, Japanese cars actually have an absolute advantage, and among Japanese cars, in terms of handling and In terms of design, I personally think Mazda is the best.

Compared to Toyota's balance and durability, Honda's paranoia about engines, and Nissan's mediocre comfort, Mazda is the most suitable choice for young people.

First of all, the soulful design and unique red spray paint can give you a new and passionate feeling every time you wash the car.

Secondly, Chuangchi Blue Sky technology really feels like the best reflection of Mazda’s focus on passenger car technology. Although it has to be said that engine maintenance is a bit expensive, the high compression ratio, low fuel consumption and car washing The delicacy in the process really makes people feel that it is a pleasure to drive it.

Third, the manufacturing process of Japanese cars. The interior of Atez was criticized for a long time when it was first launched, but it has become increasingly mature after several minor changes. If I have to compare it with BMW, I can only say that there is still a gap, but after all, the car is mainly used for driving.

Fourth, control, this should be Mazda’s biggest selling point. It inherits Mazda’s fine tradition. Whether it is the old Ruiyi or the current Atez, it still inherits the characteristics of the king of corners. . The direct-injection engine releases power directly and has excellent cornering skills. It is full of confidence during driving and can calmly face whether it is overtaking or complex road conditions.

Shortcomings, the sound insulation problem is still not handled well. Maybe for a car worth more than 200,000 yuan, it is really harsh to require BBA-like sound insulation. Besides, Japanese cars as a whole, except for Lexus, are of the same level. None of it is good.

In addition, compared to Toyota, there are still more minor problems. This does not rule out the pain caused by the iterative stage of technological progress, but I hope that future replacement models can match Toyota's quality.

Finally, as a car company, Mazda is indeed not a big brand. Even compared to the old Mazda, it is now more niche. Many people may buy cars in this price range. Or we should pay more attention to the issue of car cost. After all, Atez is too expensive to maintain compared to competing products. Besides, Chinese people care so much about face when buying cars, I am afraid Passat and Magotan are better choices. But as an occasional driver, the Atez is a good car.

A veteran driver with more than 20 years of driving experience and nearly one million safe driving miles switched to a 2.5 Zunxun in February this year. I had been driving German cars before, so my experience is still somewhat representative. There is no denying that Atez is a good car. It is mainly reflected in the platform and three major parts. It is easy to drive and fuel-efficient in use. The current average fuel consumption per 10,000 kilometers is 8.4, mainly in urban road conditions. The high-speed chassis has better handling than the car. The B5 platform is slightly worse. The main shortcomings are that the supplier's accessories are of average quality, the workmanship and quality control are poor, and the paint is beautiful but difficult to maintain.
