Default Near future owner-MAZDA 6 2014

Hello everyone

I am in the market for a new car and it looks like the M6 2014 is very popular and has very high ratings.

I have a few q's for those who could help. thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english:


1-I read that the nav/display system is sub par quality. Should I buy the regular cd player and replace it with a 3rd party pioneer or kenwood audio system? The display on the OEM looks very small and I dont know how convenient it is.

2-Does it have SD card reader?

3-Any way I can play music videos instead of mp3s? I have this massive list of .avi music videos on my PC and I would like to be able to play those in my car.

4-What would be the only thing you would change in this car if you had a choice? or maybe would like to see in the 2015 model ?


thank you so much

Where in the world are you?
1: In Australia and New Zealand, the Sat Nav is Tom Tom, and it seams to be a good system.

2: Yes it has a SD card for the Sat Nav.

3: No idea on music videos.

4: Self parking.

Thanks for the reply

By music video I actually mean any .avi or any other movie format.

1. I'm in the U.S. and the nav system is by TomTom and FAR better than any Factory nav system I've ever used (and the Pioneer systems I've been unlucky enough to buy). To me the size is fine and there's no way I'd replace it with an aftermarket system. This head unit is far more than just the radio.

2. The system uses an SD card for the nav maps but I don't believe it can be used for other media. Could be wrong.

3. Don't think so.

4. Honestly can't think of anything I'd really want changed. Maybe two level console storage or some kind of tray. Right now the storage in the console is just a big box. I like having a smaller separate place for things like mints, chapstick or my badge for work. It's darn near the most perfect car I've ever owned.

Depending on where you live there may be a law that won't let you play videos while you're driving.
