Thanks ! Really appreciate the feedback. I guess I will give Marshmallow a go then, I don't use OTG at the moment but is there a fix for it / future fix ?
As for turning SD storage into internal storage, I believe you need a top of the line, really expensive SD card to match, if it's even possible, the speed of the internal NAND storage memory. Furthermore, the resulting available storage space would not be 8 + 32 (in my case with a 32 GB SD card) but only 32 GB, Marshmallow only uses the new formatted device as system storage (there's no access to a "double" internal system storage). I reckon that would be a pain for engineers but, as with every tech these days, it could be fixed with time... but in that time the number of 8 GB devices will be almost negligible.
My impressions so far using Marshmallow on the 8GB/1GB Moto G.
* Google Play Music will NOT download to external memory anymore, hope this is fixed soon, I'm now limited on what music I can keep on my phone
I made some comments about this above but, have you tried formatting the SD card (from the settings menu in Marshmallow) as "External storage data" ? seems to work for some people even if the SD card was already formatted - brand new.
Also, you mention the phone feels "speedier" on Marshmallow, have you noticed more refreshing going on (and more apps being closed in the background compared to 5.1.1) ?
any advice for fixing a wifi battery drain? ever since I updated to marshmallow my battery life has taken a significant hit, with wifi being the number 1 culprit at the top of my battery usage screen, above screen and all others.
also, if there's a way to revert back to lollipop I'd love to hear that as well. I'm not very impressed with marshmallow and would rather switch back to lollipop when my battery life was great.
So your 8gb XT1541 got M? Hopefully my 16gb XT1541 will get it soon!
Posted from my Moto G (2015) on the Android Central app.
The Marshmallow WiFi bug was fixed a long time ago and was implemented into the Moto G's update, so careful with Google search results. Honestly, as I tell everyone with unexplained issues after an upgrade, try the common things (reboot, clear cache, etc), and then factory reset.any advice for fixing a wifi battery drain? ever since I updated to marshmallow my battery life has taken a significant hit, with wifi being the number 1 culprit at the top of my battery usage screen, above screen and all others.

My impressions for Marshmellow (Android 6) on Moto G (2015);
It's no big deal. No significant changes, at least nothing to get excited about over Lollipop.
Android 6.0 has introduced loads of bugs; especially the hot phone/battery draining problems. Non-responsive phone, especially coming out of lockscreen problem. SD card problems. WIFI connection problems. And other issues.
I am experiencing the hot phone/battery drain issues, SD card issues and the non responsive phone issues.
Android 6 update in my opinion is buggy as hell and doesn't offer anything worth the hassle of all the bugs.
I'm going back to Lollipop which was incredibly stable on my Moto G 2015. I never had any problem on lollipop. Android 6 has been loads of problems.
