First one of those I've seen Very nice. What makes the GT a GT?
What I got was,
The Mazda6 i Grand Touring (GT) w/ Technology Package for the additional $2k.
For me, having all the added bells & whistles makes driving "this" car that much more enjoyable. I don't use the lane departure all that much and would only use it if I'm driving those long distances and where I might be beginning to nod off.
The blind spot monitors have already helped in a few instances. It beeps when I turn on the blinker and another vehicle on either side of me is too close. Then, it stops beeping the instant you have room and can wedge your way in and this feature too has helped me already.
Also for long distances, I have the i-ELOOP, which allows my "cruise control" to act as a guidance and will automatically slow me down when i come up behind a vehicle and will maintain that sped at what ever distance "I" set it at behind said vehicle without ever stepping on the brake or gas. Then if I switch lanes, it will automatically return back to the original MPH setting I had it on. :dblthumb2:
Here are differences between the Sport, Touring, and Grand Touring (GT) models they have available.
The 2015 Mazda6 = is offered in three trim levels: i Sport, i Touring and i Grand Touring. The Sport and Touring offer a choice between a manual or automatic transmission, while the
Grand Touring comes equipped only with an automatic.
The Mazda6 i Sport = comes with a 6-speed manual transmission, air conditioning, cruise control, remote keyless entry, push-button start, an AM/FM/CD stereo with six speakers and a USB audio input, 17-in alloy wheels, dual power mirrors, a tilt-telescopic steering wheel, a 6-way manual driver's seat with manual lumbar support, steering wheel-mounted audio controls and a leather-wrapped shift knob, steering wheel and parking brake handle. Add an extra $1,705 to get the automatic transmission and you'll also gain a rearview camera, Bluetooth, a 5.8-in color touchscreen display, Pandora Internet Radio, audio menu voice command and an HD Radio.
There are no option packages for the Sport, although some dealer-installed options include rear parking sensors, an auto-dimming rearview mirror and front fog lights.
The Mazda6 i Touring = has all the features found on the automatic-equipped Sport trim plus dual-zone automatic air conditioning, a blind spot monitor and a power driver's seat. The Mazda6 Touring also boasts leatherette seats, Advanced Key keyless entry and start, handsome 19-in alloys and rear cross-traffic alert safety tech.
