2018 Mazda6 Review: Curbed with Craig Cole | Mazda6 Turbo Review 

I like how Audi brags about elegant design but in reality Mazdas are more elegant than newer Audis.....

Mazda is so simple and elegant. It does everything without trying too hard. Looks the best for its class both inside and out (in my opinion). I actually really like Mazda's infotainment system layout. When Android Auto and Apple Carplay comes they will be unstoppable.

That minimalistic interior design is so attractive.

Oooooooh myyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy goooooodness Mazda has done it again!!!! How they so seemlessly merge soul stirring and passionate design into a practical package blows my mind!!!! Even more so, how they don't manage to sell more vehicles than they currently do is baffling!!!

The best midsize sedan available imo. Stunning, fun to drive, high quality, well equipped, quick.

This car is such a heartthrob.

I love that skinny bastard. Great reviews everytime

Best looking sedan

I just leased the Grand Touring version last week only from my previous 2 Mazda experiences alone('08 CX-7 and the wife's '15 CX-9) on the need that my CX-7 is starting to have high mileage woes. I wasn't even thinking about purchasing another car and I work for a Nissan Dealership. I've seen so many CVT issues come through our shop I have learned to stay away from those brands that have adopted them. I couldn't be happier! This car is by far, next to my wife's CX-9, the best car purchase I have ever made.

Gorgeous looking car

The best video I have ever seen for the 6 thanks AutoGuide😍❤️

Shots are on point in this one - lots of new styles and techniques. Nice job!

Craig, love your reviews and your sarcasm. Keeps me viewing.

Very nice car! That red is beautiful!

Excellent review. He really knows his stuff and does this well

Great review. Starting to really love this new Mazda6 - great to see it now outpacing the Fusion etc and bearing down on the Accord and the Camry

All you Honda fanboys can sleep on the 6 all you want. It's better than the Accord. No crappy CVT no matter the trim level and that huge TQ is awesome

I like the way you speak.. so clear.. unlike the other guy who do the same review of this car.. 👍👍👍

I love the simple design after seeing the Accord and Camry..

Finally larger exhaust tips, the older ones were way too small

we are on our 4th mazda. keep trading them in for another.

Man, Craig Cole's commentary style goes head to head with that of Morgan Freeman's voice overs... if Morgan Freeman reviewed cars for a living. I'm excited to watch AutoGuide whenever it's you in there!

I really like the colour. Motivates you to keep it clean.

Hands down the best looking non luxery sedan out there.

Great review Craig, couldn't agree more. Well done Mazda.

I actually traded in my 17 E class for this no Regrets

Craig, not sure if you will ever read this but you are so good, you could start your own channel and i bet you will have tons of subscribers. Funny, Insightful and to the point, what more can you ask for from a car review

Mazda is the best as the car owner

I was about to skip on this vid since I have no plans of buying the Mazda 6. But then I read Craig Cole in the full video title, I instantly watched the vid. No regrets here after watching the whole video. Great review as always from Craig.

Proof that you don't need to get a luxury brand to get a very good car.

Very nice under rated car. Better looking than Camry or Accord. Zoom Zoom.

I don't like red cars but I love this red. Wanted to get it on our 2015 but didn't :(

It's just sooo fuckin' awesome 😍

I love my sexy Mazda 6 with a passion!!

Great review, if only Mazda carried over the manual for the touring and grand touring models..

Finally!!!!! Okay to watch this.

My favorite car reviewer of all times...

Some manufacturers take materials and they make a car. Mazda takes the same materials and creates art.

Really great review, for normal people, to the point.

Im glad it was mentioned that the horse power will be lowerered at lower oct gas fill up at 4:56 .I noticed a decrease in power on my Mazda 6 2015 no turbo . but quickly noticed a big change in performance when I changed from 87 oct to 92 oct .I think it has something to do with higher compresion ratio and coupled with direct fuel injection .Its really said that a lot of bloggers are not including it in their blogs .

Great reviewer

Such a beautiful car..

i like this nerdy guy.. he is knowledgeable and technical..

1st comment and this car so much nice

ONLY Craig can afford those calories. Perfecto as always Craig and friends...good job all.

Still waiting for my Mazda KAI

FYI, Android Auto and Apple Carplay is available. My new Mazda6 GT has it, and I've been using it. BTW, after test driving the new Accord, Camry, and Sonota, I kept coming back to the Mazda6. There's just something about the driving experience that puts it above the rest. It's almost like you wear the car, and become one with the car when driving. The 6 may not win the 0-60 times, but when you look at track numbers and passing numbers (50-70), it competes with the Accord and Camry. The Accord felt too much like I was driving a car simulator..., it lacked feedback into the steering wheel. I can see why people who want a car to "drive easy" might prefer the Honda, but if you want to engage with the road, the Mazda is the way to go. The 2018 is much more quite, and the Turbo gives it some much needed punch. The infotainment needs a facelift. I wish it was open source, because I could make some basic tweaks over the weekend to improve it dramatically. I would make sure favorites appear on the main radio page by simply pressing down on the command stick, and then allow to rotate through them. Pressing up would allow the user to "tune" the radio by rotating the command dial. I would allow the main menu to cycle all the way around. These are just quick little things that would instantly make it better. I would also add an "automatic" favorites option. Based on the duration one listens to radio stations, it would automatically add and sort favorite radio stations. The same auto favorites could apply to locations, and callers.

*MAZDA 6* 🇯🇵❤✋

Love that color and the car overall. Can tell this was filmed in S.E. MI- the roads are cracked and heaved!

Lmao this reviewer is awesome!

Gorgeous ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥

"Enough room for lanky passengers".... Looking at you Engineering Explained 🤪😂😂😂

This thing is gorgeous, but people doesn’t mention it because it hasn’t mercedes or BMW badge

I own 2018 cx5. There is no issue on its infotainment system. It is very simple but but it functions as supposed to. Much easier to navigate than one on Lexus.

Pleas help me ... I wnna advic about what should i buy .. Sonata 2018 or mazda 6 2018 .. I like the sonata from inside its better and bigger .. Also in mazda 6 Insulation of ground are really bad but its made in japan .. On the other hand the sonata made in koren becouse of that maby it will have more problem than the mazda after 4 years .. So what should i buy and why ..?

Craig if you ever need your self esteem raised just read your comments. They are crushing on you more than the car. Kudos to Mazda for its continued improvement.

Nice car nice review

What’s better the Honda Accord, Chevy Malibu or Mazda 6 and reason why?

Yes Mazda those lines on the car are far more better than Accord

Totally agree with this guy. And this is just a mid cycle refresh. Imagine when they totally redone the car, I'm sure it'll be great. The interior is beautiful, maybe the brown color could be a little bit brighter, the seats could be a bit more hugging, reducing cabin noises, a new information system, a panoramic sunroof. Outside, the car could be a bit lower, I just love the front end, they just need to make that more aggressive, no need to change it. I would love to see fog lights back, it really brightens up the front. The car has been phenomenal in terms of driving dynamic since 2014, but I would love to see them adding more gears since it has so much torque. I could be asking for too much but if they could do one of the things. Woah, I will be sold. Ps, I'm still happy with the car now.

Mazda makes handsome well engineered cars. Surprisingly they don’t sell well. Easily our sold by Toyota , Honda and Nissan even upstart Hyundai and Kia sell far more cars . I wonder if Fiat will continue to build a relationship with Mazda they could teach Fiat how to build high quality cars.

Best car that nobody buys...sad but true - not literally nobody buys as the sales are paltry but wish it was more popular as this car is totally underrated! A Diamond in the rough!

❤ mazda ❤

What about rear seat head and leg room?

Best looking mazda 6 yet ppd job zoom zoom all the way

Do a review of the base model Mazda 6 as well. Something ppl will actually buy instead of the top trim which while fancy, not many ppl will buy.

This vs 2.0T Accord 10 speed, I'm waiting for the comparison test

I have seen the red in person, and it is stunning! Accord may be a little better value, but just splitting hairs.

I didn’t know that Idubbbz reviews cars

Mazda beste Auto Nummer eins und zuverlässig 👍👍👍

MAZDA ♡

Wow, you guys really showcased the terrible state of Michigan roads in this one.

The Tesla Model 3 might become (through over-the-air upgrades) the sedan perfected, eventually. But, for now, the Mazda 6 is about as good as it gets in this mature market segment.

Are there port injectors along with the direct injection to keep the valves clean? I have a mazdaspeed6, and trust me, direct injection only is a horrible design.. 100k miles and the intake valves could no longer seal, and an exhaust valve broke. Cylinder shut-off? No thanks... But it is a gorgeous vehicle

great car

My Next Car.....Touring Model

even though it wouldn't help sales, this car would be complete with a nice v6

Love your review and you forgot buddy. The Mazda is much better looking than both the Camry and ugly duckling Accord. When will the comparison of the three. I heard it was real wood Sig trim

2st Comment and this car so much luxury

Honda Odyessey minivan is as fast says Motor Trend.

Honda just needs to put a V6 in again and I think they will appease their haters who have bought Camrys instead and their sales will take off once again!

Complaining over real wood trim oh please stop it, I rather have the aluminum trim over any kind of wood trim it’s a sport sedan not a old man sedan.

I have a 2003 Mazda 6.

Craig Cole is straight gangsta...

I disagree about the infotainment, I quite like it.

Wow digital gauge way better than granny's camry...

The wood trim is real wood not fake.

I'll take a Mazda 6 hatch please.

I wonder, Mazda 6 turbo or the Genesis g70 2.0t?

$36k lol I don't need backseats, or practicality. Can I get an amen for not having kids? $36k can buy a MX-5 RF GT.

Nice car but the screen sticking up on the dash like they didn't know what to do with it is a common design fail I really dislike.

No manual transmission option on the turbo engine is a huge disappointment. I was waiting for it and now I'm going to it the Honda Accord manual. Mazda is not for drivers anymore

Everything is gorgeous except that digital touch display. It looks like a bolted-on aftermarket accessory--a total afterthought. Why not integrate it into the dash?

It looks greatttttt. HOWEVER. I'm so disappointed that Mazda again has decided to shaft its lower trim customers. Just like the last generations refresh, only the higher trims get the goodies. This time it's worse. I have a 2017 Mazda 6 Sport, the lowest trim, so I don't get the fancy refreshed face that was only available in GT models. In this new generation, ONLY the GT Reserve and above get the LED headlights. GT and below do NOT get LED headlights. It's so disappointing because they claim LED is standard, but it's not. This time the GT doesn't even get the LED headlights. I also test drove it and I feel as though it is not enough of an upgrade from my 2017 model. The new interior and exterior is very nice, but technology wise it's not that much of an upgrade and the noise is only very slightly improved. Throttle feels the same. It's just not aggressive enough. They also made the steering lighter, no idea why. But all in all, it's a great car. It truly shines in the highest trims.

Now they just need a car with RWD that seats more than 2 people.

Those brakes look so small!

I've seen better reviews this car is awesome 😎

Which would you have: real wood that looks fake or fake wood that looks real? 😂

how does he stay so thin with all he eats? must also be a cyclist. great video.

How much is it?
