Tsunami Of Torque!!---2018 Mazda 6 Turbo Review 

I'm not a Mazda fan boy,but I have to admit this is the best non luxury midsize sedan in the market today.

turbocharged strong torque and smooth driving, it's hard to have both, Mazda did it, well done.

As always Forrest, good job and love the detail! I’ve been excited for this turbo to get here in the 6!

I test drove the GT at my local dealer today, no turbo lag and plenty of power. Best driving experience and interior styling in its segment imo.

The 151 dislikes are straight up HATERS ... How on earth could a sane individual dislike this content? Awesome review man!

15:22 if youre only here to see the new turbo engine.

By far this is the best review of the 2018 Mazda 6 Turbo on the web. I’ve been waiting for this car! I do wish your review was of the signature model but, you’ve done an outstanding job. I can’t wait to drive one and potentially buy one. Love to see the Sen wood and Nappa leather in person.

Holy Sh*t I've been waiting for a review of this turbo Mazda6 for months. Thank you!! subscribed!!

Got to experience this engine when I reviewed the CX-9, so I can only imagine how quick it is in this little guy. Great review!

great review! I love mazda's direction. I can only hope for a mazda speed awd version with 6spd. Also Would love that new RX-9

Finally a thorough review! Thank you so much! I've been dying to see this car in action!

Yessss! Thanks for being so quick on filming and uploading this video!

Woohoo! A review finally

First video of yours I’ve ever seen and dude killer review! Just subbed keep it up brother!

Loved your review. Love the details and impression and your thoroughness. Keep up the great job! And, I'm LOVING the new 6!

Great vid great car i am glad you are the first guy i have seen to do this car

waited for a review for so long! awesome car Mazda is beautiful. Great review.

My next car!

Congratulations ,Mazda ! Nice job with this Mazda 6 .

Thanks to your thorough review I got one on July 4th!!! Been waiting for a replacement for my Mazdaspeed6 for so long and finally feel that this is one! Had it a month and really like it this far! Very fast but super upscale and quiet!!! Was doing 104mph on the way to work today and didnt even know it!!!

Way to cool. Can't wait for you to get your hands on the signature trim!!!

Got to test drive a Signature last night before seeing your video. My reaction was exactly the same. It's so much smoother and torquey than I expected. Very hard to describe but definitely a blast to drive.

Does the GT still come with the little lip spoiler?

Wow one of the very first 2.5t Mazda 6 reviews on RU-vid . Cool.That torque is amazing! Wish they offered AWD on this would sell better in the snow belt and Canada.

LOVED this video and car, haha. Engaging, thorough, and entertaining! Zoom zoom🚘

Good job ForrestAutoReviews

Great job on the review.. Owned a 14 and really enjoyed it. Great handling and power was decent for the most part.Glad that Mazda finally gave this model the engine it deserves. Seems much quieter as well.

Great review Forrest, keep up the good work!

Those opening cinematics though!!! 👏👏👏

BOUGHT A 2019 MAZDA 6 IN AUGUST, I AM IN LOVE !!!!!!!!!!

I hope they put that engine into the CX-5 as well. Nice review.

Greetings from Fort Worth! Congrats as the first reviewer for the 18 Mazda 6 T. Been waiting for this. Wish they had a trim with manual transmission. New subscriber for sure. Keep up the good work!

Awesome. Having been an owner of 2 Mazdas, I am a big fan. They really make excellent cars for a small company. Also, for people who live in west Texas, Hiley may be a good place to travel to in order to get a Mazda because the Mazda dealerships in these dinky west Texas cities are bad. They barely have much inventory at all, and most of that is SUVs. It seems like 3/4 of the vehicles on the road here are SUVs and pickup trucks.

Wow i like this interior and with a turbo this will be the best mid range sedan....great job Mazda.

This car is just stunning love it turbo now to wow Mazda hit it out of the ballpark with this one great job mazda

I had 2009 Mazda6 V6 GT and currently drive 2014 GT model. I can't wait to get this new one next year. Mazda6 with little refresh/upgrade looks so much better than the new Accord and new Camry put together.

Great review on a very nice sedan. I have a 2017 6. With great gas mileage ( 43 mpg on FWY ). For the size of the car this is wonderful. Not a fan of turbo charged vehicles but Mazda is making things happen in the industry.

Just bought one yesterday 😍

I enjoyed meeting and great review Forrest!

Nice review. I just sat in a 2018 at my local dealer and was blown away at the interior. It was the GT Signature model which lacks the real wood trim and fancier nappa leather. Even so, nearly every single square inch of the interior felt high quality, which is an incredibly difficult task to pull off in any new car under $30k. The seats were super comfy, the doors closed with a nice solid thunk/whoosh, the steering wheel and gear shifter felt great in hand. And everything was laid out in an intuitive and attractive manner. I was pleasantly surprised at how well integrated the infotainment display was for a tablet style. It didn't look like an afterthought the way the Honda Accord screen does. The 6 is one of those rare cars that you sit in and just feel instantly comfortable in. Oddly enough, I also sat in the Kia Stinger right after and was disappointed that no matter how I adjusted the seat I couldn't get comfortable (I'm a big guy 6'2/240). Its sad that the 6 doesn't get more love in America. I hope the turbo engine helps garner some attention because it truly deserves greater sales figures.

Hope to get the Grand Touring Reserve within the next year. Awesome review Forrest!

Been waiting for a review for this car! Very exciting, car looks even better and the performance should bring a lot more people towards the Mazda brand. Great thorough review Forrest! Keep up the nice work

They need to drop that engine in the 3

Great review, I like the details of the interior. Mazda has come a long way in it's quality, probably because they have moved away from Ford lol. I was thinking of getting the new Camry XSE V6 but I might go test drive the Mazda 6 Turbo. Thank you brother and keep on doing great work!

Wow just found this. Very shocked as I live in Arlington and at 20:44, you drive right by my old school. I couldn’t believe it. Great review too. Very beautiful car.

This car is gonna take away a lot of sales from the Acura TLX and Lexus IS 300.

Damn a review for this thing already? Good job man.

I just purchased the 2018 signature on 5/18. This is my 6th Mazda6 since the flagship model. Great review for this beauity. So far this is by far my favorite 6.

Thanks for being the first to review the 2018 model. Been checking youtube every day for one recently

The first review I've seen on this car. Automatic like!

Can't wait to see someone tune this thing

Finally a good review, thanks. Now I just need to justify trading in my 2016.

All the dislikes are from people who purchased other mid size sedans including luxury brands.

Getting this bad boy today. The last time I had a mazda with good power to weight was my 2008 mazda3 2.3L hatchback. Loved that car.

nice review! Very detailed and useful information!

Issa Maxmry! Edit: I love how you opened the door and panned the camera for a bit to let us see, it was kind of like a "yeaa thats right, take it all in. Thats a Mazda." Kind of moment

Beautiful design i'm really impressed mazda

Super in depth review, you just got a new subscriber out of it, keep up the good work and quality!

Nice video!

Great work showing off those wheels! I've never been able to tell the depth and detail going on until then.

That's 420 NM for us metric folks. Pretty impressive.

Been waiting for a first drive video for ages, thanks! My 2.5 Mazda 6 was an absolute joy to drive but always wanted more power. I traded it in for a Golf 7 Gti, now you had me thinking...

Nice! I agree, I would love for this car to have 6MT and AWD! I used to have the 2005 Mazda6 MPS, loved that car!

Great review! Also props to Hiley Mazda for hooking it up!

This video’s gunna blow up, lol

Great review, I like the detail about mazda 6 :D

Really hope they come thru with that apple carplay, android auto promise. Its been "coming soon" and "can be retrofitted" for several years now.

Drove the 2017 model. Love this car so much

I thoroughly enjoyed the review - thanks very much! I used to drive a 2014 Mazda 6 diesel, which had same max torque as this 2.5T petrol. I fully appreciate your comments about enjoying the torque. The 6 speed auto is very sweet too. You're absolutely right - the 2.5T should be available with a manual transmission.

Nice!!! 😍 love it! Think I just found my #1 new car top contender! Most definitely will need to keep a look out at my local Mazda dealership here in the Twin Cites!

really good detailed review, thank you

Great video man. Thank you for the detailed review. As a Mazda employee I felt your knowledge was vast! Just a few notes the sensors by the mirror are for lane departure not radar cruise, that's behind the emblem! Also the touch screen is only touch under 10mph. Thankyou thankyou thankyou for pointing out the torque rating! One last note research how the turbos have a variable timing valve to only allow so much air to prevent turbo lag!!

You’re right!!! It’s silky smooth turbo!! I love my 6 GT turbo! Mine is the Soul Red also....the turbo is def smooth as butter!!!! Such an awesome car!!!! ❤️

Damn first to review this car on youtubr. Congrats dude!

This makes me even more happy I picked up the 2018 Accord 2.0T touring with black Honda wheels

Thank you for the excellent review! You are exactly right. The way the Mazda turbo feels when you drive it is hard to describe. In your review you said that it was smooth and that was the first thing that struck me about it. It is definitely something you need to drive to decide if you like it or not. It’s just a very different driving feeling. Of course, my primary vehicle right now is a 21-year-old Camry, so what do I know? I recently test drove both a new 4 cylinder Camry and the Mazda six turbo. I felt like the Camry had a softer ride, but a lot more Road noise. The Mazda interior is way better in quality and layout.

What a beautiful car.

Thank you for the in-depth review. I really like the new 6, especially with the new force-fed motor. Mazda still needs to give their infotainment a serious upgrade, though.

Great Video Gorgeous car inside and out with decent parformance

Great review, Forrest. Anything you can say about NVH? Thanks!

What a beautifull car, cant wait to see it on the streets!

Very interesting and very cool. I'm really interested in the acceleration numbers. My 2014 mazda6 is modified to make about 215-220 hp and lb ft of torque and it's a lot of fun with the stick.It only weighs 3050 lbs too cause I did some weight reduction too. As the man says this car can put the power down very well. There price point for the as tested car is amazing. A great opportunity for somebody looking for a really nice sedan.

Would like to see it against the Mazdaspeed 6 from back in the day.

Finally a proper review of the 2018 6! Thank you so much! Can we ever expect a review of the Touring trim? I believe that it comes with cylinder de-activation as well. Wondering how it compares to the accord 1.5T. Does the Touring trim's interior look just like the Grand Touring's?

Thank you Forrest Auto Review man

As I remember they announced it's not so noisy as previous one. So what is your feeling? Was the noise insulation improved? I mean wheel arches area?

Making me wanna cop a Mazda.

Awesome job on your review👍🏼 Are any Mazda6 models made in Japan? Also, what camera are you using here?

So premium, so much quality

Unchanged for 2018 - Easy Scuff (Tm) Lower Door cards!! Seriously though this looks killer, has me pondering trading in my 2.5 manual 2016 3. If they come out with a manual next year, that will likely seal the deal

i Recently Bought the 2018 Mazda 6 Grand touring reserve, a step below the top trim Signature, but there's barely much difference between the 2 trims. i most say before buying this model car i never dreamed, i would ever be driving one today infact, it was never a car brand i would give any thought to, but due to some personal regulations in the US, i did some research and the Mazda brand Appeared on my radar. Im a dedicated Subaru owner and driver and ive always loved German designed vehicles, infact before thinking about the Mazda brand i test drove the Subaru Outback 3.6R touring, the Subaru WRX STI, the BMW 340i xdrive and the BMW 330i Xdrive. i enjoyed all the models tested while they are all great cars theres just something different about driving the Mazda 6 GTR. i strongly urge anyone in the market who wants, in my opinion a really good blend of affordability, luxury, prestige, sportiness along with a barrage of features, this is the vehicle for you. anywhere i go i get compliments about it, i believe its because of all those beautiful curves and arches which compliment the design of this model, as well as the interior, i have the white interior, with black and alumium finish which is really beautiful, i could go on and on about this vehicle but i dont need to, take a test drive and feel it for yourself. the infotainment system can be some what buggy but besides that, this is one of the best cars ive ever owned.

I just got the 2018 Mazda 3 GT plus premium package and the seats are amazingly comfortable. Nearly my favorite part about the car! This Mazda 6 looks beautiful inside and out! Mazda really does make a nice car! I need to try the sport mode soon- I'm just waiting for it to "break in".

I still have my 2013 Mazda 6. I cant wait to upgrade next year.

Lol people buying fully loaded camrys for 35,000-42000 and wanting to take it back because there's no working navigation in the thing. On top of that, it doesnt offer heated rear seats or heated steering wheel or memory drivers seat... lol!!! Unbelievable. With Mazda getting android auto and Apple car, this would be a no-brainer purchase. People buy camrys on impulse and don't do their homework

Thanks for a review :) is it actually AWD? 0-60?

Great Review Bro! I had a 14 GT 6. My interior was no where near as nice and I didn't have that sweet turbo engine. I might reconsider one of these at the end of this model year.

He beat sofyan to the review...

how fast does it go from 0 to 60 and doesn't the gt have the new digital speedometer

Damn, this 6 is seriously nice! 4WD, 6sp manual would be nice though. Good to see Mazda adding more power to their cars, can't wait to see the newer 180hp MX5
