2021 Mazda 6 Review | The Driver's Midsize Sedan 

RIP Mazda6. You were the best looking car out there.

Wow bro 3rd review in a day? You are a beast! Thank you for your hard work Gold Pony! Appreciate and enjoy it a lot!

Just got my 21 touring and love it. Traded my trusty 04 six (V6 5 speed) in on this one. What a great car! Looks good in the driveway next to my NB Miata. Zoom Zoom!!!

2 years ago, I will buy a 21' Mazda 6 sedan.

Nice review. Overall, still among the best despite being the oldest design in the class.

Great work! I just bought the GT because it was the only one available at the dealership. I really loved the carbon edition but got sold out on the day of my purchase.

Mazda finally in carwow! Also most comments are positive and that's a fact that most people loves Mazda!

I have a 2010 and love it. When it’s time to buy a new car, I will stick with the Mazda 6.

I went to the dealership to get the 6, left with the 3 lol. Not sure if the 6 never got updated, but having test drove both, the 6 didn't make any sense. The 3 had more standard features at the preferred trim that you either didn't get at all, or had to get the Signature 6 to get. The 3's Infotainment is the new one too, whereas the 6's, even sig trim, is still Mazda's last gen unit. But aside from that, the 3 was more enjoyable and more engaging to drive with a better sounding Bose system. Wasnt even in the market for the 3 and saved 7 grand lol. Hell yea. I mean don't get me wrong the 6 was still a very nice car, just next to the 3 and everything it offered for far less, made it an easy deal-breaker.

17:15 so only the signature comes with factory navigational system?

Just bought a 2018 Sport Nav+ with only 7000mls on it from a Mazda Dealership what a great looking car and drive it is, thoroughly enjoying the experience .It has everything barring heated rear seats and cooling front seats.

Im bummed it's being discontinued after 2022. Im old enough to remember the mazda 626 LOL my aunt had one on the early 90s

Wow I am completely blown away even for a 2021 model, Mazda knows how to make modern vehicles without ruining an icon, and the fact they still don’t have Cvt transmissions even nicer, to me Mazda and Honda make some of the best Japanese reliable vehicles on the planet, Kia and Hyundai for Korean manufacturers have come along way, but I think Mazda still puts Kia and Hyundai to shame on performance still, and fancier than most Toyota’s and Nissan’s, and on par with Honda but slightly nicer than Honda, so with that being said I definitely will consider a Mazda 6 as my future car, once I wear out my 2015 Honda Civic Lx, I feel like all these car companies are getting better where Ford and Gm are getting sloppier like FCA has been for years. 🤔

I just leased one! Great drive

Supposedly they shrank the front leg room that year but can an average 6 ft 3 inch person tell?

I just book one yesterday

I could pick up one of these any time from 2019 to 2021 but they all have front wheel drive right? It's just gonna be used to get groceries, do town stuff and a highway drive once or twice a month so would it be okay or should I consider waiting for AWD?

Please give the length of the vehicle.

I've a GT 2018 before, i had a 2014 GS-L

My 2016 Mazda 6 has 70k miles and has gone through 4 OEM batteries, valve cover gasket is leaking, hydronic belt tensioner is leaking, had a misfire and had to replace a leaking fuel injector, brakes wear out fast and front rotors warp extremely quick. I wouldn't call that great reliability so far.

does this car have auto start and stop?

Undeniably attractive exterior design. On paper, the 2.5L turbo engine is among the best in its class. Good driving dynamics. So why have Mazda6 sales dropped nearly 50% since the current generation was introduced in 2018? (From over 30,000 to 16,000 in 2020). The answer is fairly obvious. A long-in-the-tooth engine and transmission coupled with price increases that consumers apparently don't believe are justified. Of course, sales of mainstream midsize sedans have declined across the board but the Mazda6 is by far the biggest victim of the trend. By 2020 it ranked 20th among all midsize sedans, both mainstream and luxury models. With only 16K sales it fell behind the Volkswagen Passat by a significant margin! It's obviously unrealistic to expect the Mazda6 to challenge the Camry, Accord, or Altima in sales but dropping behind the Passat is simply embarrassing. And the outlook for 2021 is no better. Sales for the first quarter have dropped the "6" to 21st place behind the Infiniti QX50 as well as a variety of other luxury midsize sedans and the entire category of mainstream vehicles. The new generation KIA K5 and Sonata each accounted for over 20,000 sales in the first quarter of 2021 compared to barely over 4000 Mazda 6 sales. Mazda promises a new generation "6" with an inline 6 cylinder engine and RWD to be available near the end of 2022. Unfortunately, the company has earned a reputation for overpromising and underdelivering their promised schedules. Skyactiv X engines have been promised in the US for several years and have yet to show up. A diesel version of the CX-5 came along years behind schedule and was withdrawn six months after its introduction in 2020. I have a soft spot for Mazda vehicles. I've owned four over the years. But I'm skeptical that as the smallest independent mass market automaker on the planet will continue to put resources into a model that has proven to be such a major sales disaster.

I have that same car but my car is luxury car

I have the 2016 I touring

My daughter had a 6 around 20 years ago and except for the high tech gadgets, it looks about the same. 👍

I can’t believe Mazda killed the 6. And not to replace it with another 4 door mid sized sedan? Well, I guess I’ll have to find another brand.

Would still have to go for the accord 2.0 over this. Plus the touchscreen restriction is a pain with CarPlay.

I prefer the white!

Mazda 6 is Like a Kia Stinger,VW Arteon

If Mazda doesn't completely redo its infotainment system, sales will continue to decline.

Extremely disappointed with my Mazda 6 2017. I used to love this car until now when my car center console screen gave up at only 50,000 miles. The screen starts to make random ghost selections with constant beeping noise. I read online and seems like alot of people had similar issues. Since the car is out of warranty it costs 1200$ for screen to be replaced.. Not reliable and cheaply made. You get what you pay for.

No offense, but who let this man out the house dressed like this? Good God. I’m not even a fashion forward guy, but that outfit is horrendous
