Mazdas are genuinely amazing cars. They have the luxerious feeling of a BMW or a Mercedes while still being cheaper than most of its competitors. Its Maintenance and repairing are also very affordable. Mazdas are also Japanese cars, so you're not getting any lower quality than any of its competitors. My family owns a Mazda CX5 and we really love it. Definitely recommend buying a Mazda.
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I just don't see the point in buying a car like a base model BMW 3 Series or C Class when you can get a car like this. This car is similar in quality to those cars, but it has less gimmicky electronics that could break and cost you thousands of dollars to repair. Running costs in the Mazda are also probably way lower than in a BMW or Mercedes.
@@layne4376 You make an excellent point regarding AWD! I hadn't taken that into consideration. I understand the concern about driving performance as well, but I have a bad habit of looking at vehicles purely from a practical standpoint. I suppose each vehicle has its role.
This car nails the argument that badges are not everything. Purchased mine a month ago with the same exterior/interior color combination over an A4 and have received more compliments than I can count. 0-60 times be damned, The 310 lb-ft from the 2.5T continues to put a smile on my face. A playful race with a 2.0T C-class will certainly show you this car is a sleeper and will hold it's own against those wannabe V6 muscle cars. The interior materials punch above it's class appointed with real aluminum, Sen wood and Nappa leather. I couldn't get the features my 6 has in the German world without spending almost double the price tag. I'm not saying this car is pure luxury, but at this price point you can't beat it. Besides, a vehicle is one of the worst investments you can make. Stop posing, Save yourself some cash and look into this class of car.
@@DMCarReviews Coming out of a German car I 100% agree. But at $35K it was way more appealing than paying another $15-20K for equivalent (But superior) features. I Haven't become successful at 20 without comprises and unnecessarily blowing cash. The 2.5T holds it's own. I've beaten a 2018 2.0T C-Class easily , kept pace with a Nissan 370Z, and neck and neck with a Focus ST. And this is not a car that's meant to be drag raced.
@@josephcastro88 Hi Joseph. was waiting for a comment like urs. i am planning to get this car over a a bmw 520i entry level, although i am a bmw guy. how do you find the car so far? I love both the exterior and interior but i am still hesitant
@@husseingh2041 I'm loving the car. It stands out in the crowd full of other popular sedans. The Mazda6 is not apples to apples when compared to a 5 series. As for your question i always tell people to lean against base model vehicles as they're essentially stripped of all the luxurious features you are going to wish you had. I'd recommend stepping into a lower class like a 3 series and get a higher trim. Huge warning the bmw will depreciate ridiculously fast. I'd recommend buying slightly used or just leasing the vehicle. The Mazda 6 is nice but it's still a slight compromise compared to a full on luxury car. It is better investment as it is more affordable, will depreciate slower, require a lot less maintenance and will be cheaper to fix.
This car interior plus the styling impresses me alot, and I'm seriously consider buying this selling my cars. Coming from owner of an audi a6 and jaguar xf.
This car's interior looks excellent! The engine is super quiet. So quiet that I replay the engine start a few times just to be sure it was turned on. The let down is the very low grip limit of the front tires. I guess they design the car to be fuel efficient and compromise the grip level to reduce rolling resistance. This is all good one good sunny weather. But when it rains or snow, you're gonna have a hard time driving safely.
So can someone answer the boomer here - who never got startet on even GoPro gen 1 - which kind of POV recording equpment we're dealing with here? Thanks in advance. Nota bene: Tried the Mazda 6 sedan 2019 model some months ago, must say Mazda has kept up with present technology for mid range budget families. This video got me almost convinced soon to change primary car for the family.
Isnt that a Grand Touring Reserve? I though the Signature has the clothy suede strip on the dash and door panels and I thought it didnt come in white leather
do you guys get a whining sound while accelerating between 60 to 80 KM/HR ( this is in addition to engine sound n wind) I just bought brand new Mazda 6 2022.
Design is beautiful but design will not tell you that this car has useless brake system. I own Mazda 6 2014 and I change brake discs and pads every 8 - 9 months, then you have vibrations. Currently it's my 13th or 14th set of discs with pads since 2014, it doesn't matter how you drive - fast or slow - these discs are too slim for such weight of car. Also there were problems with drive axle (also causing vibrations) and the dealer rejected to fix it (change) by warranty. Also there are another problems with my car: gearbox oil leakage from the seal and engine oil leakage from the oil pressure sensor. If you check Mazda forums you will find people have absolutely same problems as me. Watched this video and noticed there is still no gas lift under the hood. Really, is this normal to place stick in the hood in 2020? But everything I mentioned is still passable comparing to the service Mazda dealers provide. This is the worst service I ever experienced.
Around 5:32 he turns on the sport mode. I think is normal on all Mazda’s with the 2.5 skyactiv G turbo engines, on full throttle they don’t shift higher than 5500 rpms.
Its a nice car, but nobody is buying them. I only buy manual cars so this Mazda is out for me personally. For general public, other cars are more practical. And the Accord 2.0 is also faster plus more practical. Interior quality alone does not sell cars anymore.
@@jayespi37 I completely agree. No point in buying a base 3 Series, Audi A4, or C Class when you can get something like this. More affordable, more reliable, less gimmicky electronics that might break, and better running costs. As someone pointed out to me in a different comment, however, the driving experience in all of the aforementioned German sedans may be superior. In addition, the German vehicles are available in AWD, unlike the Mazda.
Mate, this is typical driving for car reviewers. They do not drive like this every day. It’s done to show viewers the limits and capabilities of the car. You obviously shouldn’t be driving like this on a daily basis (and they do not).
@@theconformist2399 i drove my last mazda like this on the daily and it lasted me 120k miles no issues before i traded it you can floor it every day as long as its warmed up and good synthetic oil lol. new cars just gonna last i bet lol
I have a 2016 Mazda 6 Touring (the mid-spec model) and I love it. It's been bulletproof for 102k miles and four years of long commutes. It's not a sports sedan by any means with only 184 hp but the handling is so balanced and the feel is so good that I don't care. It just eats miles and comes back for more. And even the pre-refresh 2016 mid-spec interior with the "leatherette" seats is great. My only wish is that Mazda would do a true Mazdaspeed/MPS version of this 6. It's such an amazing platform that it just begs for a balls-out sports sedan like the Mazdaspeed 6 from 15 years ago.
+1 for my 16 Mazda 6 with 101K. It's a manual sport trim with upgraded 19in konig oversteers on 235/40 tires and Tanabe exhaust. It's a fun touring car. Power really isn't everything. I'm the sole owner of the car and only thing it's needed has been routine maintenance. Definitely waiting for the 6 cylinder Awd mazda 6
@@ayoonasanya3957 I think the audio in camera mics tends to be exaggerated as well. I've driven this car with 19" wheels and it drives smoother than the one with 17" wheels lol. I'm 100% sure Mazda tuned to suspension for the 19" wheels since they are the option in every trim other than the base.
If the rumors will turn out to be true and Mazda will make Inline 6 RWD with a manual. I'm switching from VOLVO to Mazda. Hands down an amazing car, these are the only three things I'm missing.
Have about 2 going on 3 years with my 2018 Signature. This is exactly how I got mine.. soul red Crystal with white interior. I've loved every mile I put on the car since then
I currently have the 2016 Mazda 6 Sport. Lower trim level but still get a few goodies. Love the new look Mazda has and adding a turbo was a definite perk sounds like.
MotionXE yup 👍🏻 it’s called projector and it’s so useful if you want to focus on the road and see what is your speed and the road speed if u didn’t catch the sign road
Great looking car all around, and their current partnership with toyota will mean higher quality and quality control ontop. I have no idea how i feel about the dash light that comes on when you hit the brakes, i feel like it will burn out quickly
I really wish this car was available in South Africa. But people here prefer A4, C-Class and 3 Series. All the other family sedans (Passat, Mazda 6, Fusion, Accord, Sonata etc. ) just vanished because they weren't selling.
