My 2018 Mazda6 might be the slowest but I’ve never gotten tired of looking at it every day since I bought it.
Totally agree with you! I don’t find it slow at all.
Same here.2018 6 Touring purchased new in 2019 for $23200.Feels like a much more expensive car.Shame they are doing away with it in 22'.
my 21' Mazda6 is pretty fast for my liking, I don't find it "slow" by any means, love the car and the look of it too
@@stroidgraphics2831 Agreed! My '21 turbo Mazoomzoomda6 is luxurious, quick off the line and a pleasure to drive.
@@scottc1589 couldn’t have said it better myself. Always a clean smooth ride!
The Mazda looks sooo good. Clean, elegant, and aggressive. Always turns my head when I see one. One of my favorite designed sedans out now.
i think the tail lights can be better other than that agree !
The front and interiors are nice, the back ruins it with the tail lights looking like a lipstick make up
@@robinarora8137 right it should be like the Mazda 3 more
I agree Mazda gives you the impression that the car is elegant without trying too hard. Camry and Sonata are trying too hard to look aggressive. Accord is.neutral and blend.on the looks.
My favorite is the K5 GT and second is the Honda Accord 2.0t. I heard they are discontinuing the Mazda 6 for 2022. Pricing is too high compared to the competition, and Mazda sold only 40,000 units in 2020.
The Mazda 6 just looks so clean and classy in and out. Definitely my favorite hands down!
Thank you 😊 your highness.
I did get a white pearl color 2021
Mazda 6 Touring skyactiv g
I am classy. ❤
@@hrhtreeoflife4815 eyyy congrats! I got a 2021 Mazda 6 Carbon Edition about 3 months ago, I love it so much too! Hope you enjoy the heck outta your car!!
Soul red Mazda catches my attention every time i see one on road.
When they said it's Mazda's flagship, i really realized they're missing out. People buy new Genesis luxobarges, so they'd buy a Mazda luxobarge as well. It'll be interesting when they move 6 onto RWD platform
Just got me a 2021 Mazda 6 Grand Touring Turbo and I love it. It has the luxury feel of a Lexus and the acceleration and torque of a sports car. It's sleek and sporty at a reasonable price.
Looks like they couldn't afford a real car designer and went conservative but I guess if you like it that's all that matters.
lmao "medium salsa" - best automotive journalist analogy I've heard in a while
Test drove them all and to me the Mazda 6 signature was the one for us. First Mazda sedan I ever owned.
Same
Honestly, they're all nice mid-sized sedans but I always wanted a Mazda but couldn't afford one till now. You get the most bang for your buck in luxury, style and handling. Certainly not the most fuel efficient but who drives a 2.5 liter luxury sedan for fuel efficiency?
I have an 05 Mazda 6 with 260,000 k… it should last you no problem
@@lhfinatl7068 yep I just sold my 2010 Mazda 6 sport at 255,000 miles still going strong. Bought 2 newer Mazda 6’s!
You bought the smallest of the bunch, congratulations.
@@techocrazy We fit just fine in the car. The trunk has great space. Very very comfortable car plus it has power when it's needed. Long distance travel is a breeze. I can't be happier with my choice. Beautiful functional car. I would definitely by another Mazda 6 signature in the future or it's replacement.
the problem is these car guys test em and always recommend getting the 300hp versions etc. but most people buying a corolla arent looking for hp. fuel economy is more important.
Fuel Economy, service costs, reliability 👌
Exactly!! All they have to say it's snappy when you need to take off or it's slower then the other. No one is going to go on a track with these commuter cars lol
I wasn't in the market for a mid-size sedan necessarily--I was in the market for a *hybrid*, for this reason. Test drove four different cars and ended up dithering between the cheapest and most expensive of the lot: the hybrid Corolla and the hybrid Sonata. The Corolla felt more downmarket, not a lot of room in back, but it just had a great road feel, the most fun to drive of the four. But while I was dithering, another buyer snapped up the only hybrid Corolla on the lot. So I went with the Sonata hybrid, which is a fantastic car. I think it actually had the worst fuel mileage of the four because it was the biggest car, but I still get just a hair under 50 MPG most of the time. The car guys are not gonna like that one, though--the internal combustion engine is smaller than the regular Sonata's, though the electric motor is helping to push from a standing start.
@@facundorondan4631 exactly
@@MattMcIrvin nice
Accord 2.0l Sport 100%. That thing continues to impress me each time I see it.
This makes me a proud Mazda 6 owner, 2015 grand touring and love it. Super sharp looking, glad to see some respect put on them.
How many miles do you have on it now, and how is it holding up reliability-wise? What's your MPG look like?
Accord 2.0 is the clear cut winner for me in this segment.
@Contingency IBCT lol Toyota doesn’t even make their own engines 😂
Accord smokes the Mazda sorry
Mazda6 looks so good, so good, It is just the one to have.
Have a mechanic inspect the shocks, control arms, ball joints, tie rods, & boots before buying a used one. Also check the spark plugs for burning oil.
@@vg4472 lol
@@vg4472 I have a 2003 Mazda6, 300k and goes like new. true, some things might rust, so every other car, but gosh, i can´t believe it goes as well as it does with so many years and miles. These new Mazdas seem to be even better made than mine, I am sure it is a great buy, and they look GORGEOUS, better than any German rivals, and more reliable
@@javigar133 i have a 2004 Mazda 6i with 200k miles on it lol
@@masonf7332 and keeps going right? great car, I have thought of trading it in the past and then I go for a drive... i am not selling that car lol,
My sonata is a 2008 with 150,000 miles on it. Never did anything but tires, batteries and oil changes, still gets 0-60 around 7 just like when it was new. No oil burning, comfortable, and I've driven it cross country several times. I've thought about buying a new one, but they have downgraded their engines so much I just couldn't see the point. I still get 30mph on the highway, it's a great car.
30mph on the highway? Other drivers must be screaming at you.
j/k, unlucky typo there: mph vs. mpg.
I have a 2013 Mazda6 I love it. I wish I could afford a brand new one and am sad that Mazda is letting it go. 😔
Just wait to get the upcoming inline 6 in rear wheel drive! Hopefully it will be at an affordable price though.
You should trade it in. They're giving record amounts for trade in of older cars.
They’re redoing it. It might have a new damn and design. They’re not getting rid of it permanently. They’re rebuilding their lineup. Now it will be like Infiniti.
CX 50
CX 30
CX 90
Mazda 3
Mazda 60 possibly?
I have one too and I like it. It has 100,000 kilometers on it now but still runs great. Also very reliable which is important to me.
Last year we bought a Mazda 3 fully loaded and it just shook me when I found that it was in a lot of ways just as good as our BMW 328xi fully loaded, and only for half the price. And this year we added a mazda 6 signature, and it's just such a nice a car that as first time mazda owners we give mazda a 10/10 on both cars.
As a 6 Signature owner I can confirm, I've made a lot of my friends who owned Acura's and Lexus' change teams lol.
The other cars in this video have gotten nicer but none of them have the same "hand sculpted/crafted" look to them inside and out like the 6 has. IMO the other 3 (and the KIA K5) look like ugly cybernetic bugs in the face, their design's have only been out like 3-4 years and are already ageing poorly. They just look like their trying to hard to be "futuristic" and that's exactly why Honda toned down the look on the new Civic to not look like a failed science experiment, or something a 16 year old designed in his CAD class like the last generation Civic did...
The Mazda6 has ridden off into the sunset now, but that it still looks that incredibly good next to much fresher rivals speaks volumes. Would be my personal choice over the Camry and Sonata easily, and probably over the Accord just by a hair.
In North America only, everyone else in the world will still be able to buy it.
It’s supposed to come back with a redesign or at least an updated interior.
I just bought one in April. It makes me smile every time I look at it!
@@Nudux I think they are making a new model to replace the Mazda6.
@@deet4895 Really??!! Dang USA! I may have to move. I love the mazda 6!
If the Accord was a 2.0T, It will be on the 1st position, Mazda6 is a great car, but its starting to age now, TRD Camry's looks great for what it is, but as far as I know, it's tuned to be efficient rather than performance and the transmission tends to stay in top gears. For the Hyundai its ugly AF but the interior looks classy.
I wouldn't say that the mazda 6 is getting old but it need a good refresh.
And a great refresh shall it get in 2022 mazda 6 is no more no idea what they will be calling the replacement but in line 6 RWD is all I need to say. And I am excited to see what Mazda going to give us next year
It's sad that Mazda6 is gone for the USA. It's the SUV craze, and Mazda being late on giving a cr@p about reliability.
My sentiment exactly. They are comparing apples to oranges. Toyota is a sports tuned sedan, and Mazda is more of a luxury sedan, so why not compare the top version of every car?
@@expsterm1 Not really. Mazda was definitely the sportier car to drive (steering, suspension tuning) compared to Accord, Camry, Altima.
Don't forget the Kia K5 GT...
I like the styling of the Hyundai but the TRD Camry really caught my attention.
I'm 6'1 and I love my sonata, I have plenty of headroom
yeah they were hating
The suspension and ride feel of the Mazda 6 is luxury class. I was stunned when I drove one.
No
@@JoseFernandez-wu8pj Yes, the 6 is luxurious and timeless. The other 3 cars in this video look like UGLY cybernetic bugs that are trying to hard to look futuristic.
If you wanna drive around in something that looks like a 16 year old "designed" it in under 2 hours for his CAD class assignment he forgot was due that day, by all means enjoy your Accord/Camry/Sonata/K5/Veloster/Elentra and or Civic... Some people like ugly cars and that's okay.
@@aidensnow5017 are you talking about yourself? It sure sounds like it. You have bad taste in cars? I bet your ass has bad taste in WEMON too lmaoooooo 🤣 😂
From Mazda3 to Mazda6, the latest gen Mazda's are just WOW. Amazing stuff. Pieces of Art to look at. Well done Mazda!
Clearly giving Accord's a run for their money.
I’m trying buy a 2022 Mazda 3 how is it
@@Yancyik their wonderful, I have the 2020 hatch
No it is definitely not giving the accord a run for its money considering how slow and sluggish they are. accords are much better.
Its a shame Honda didn't give them the 2.0T especially since its a tuned down CTR engine! I have one in a 6 speed and it honestly surprises me how fun it is. Add to the fact it has a great seating position(Im 6'), massive rear seats and a spacious trunk its a great daily driver. Biggest downside to the accord is the rear styling IMO.
i'm 6'8", and i geniunely can't fit in the accord, which is ridiculous considering how large it is. i fit in my dad's 2013 accord no problem. the issue is that they just don't allow the seat to move very far back. when it's as far as it can go, there's still a ton of backseat room. because of this, i fit better in much smaller sedans, such as the Mercedes CLA and Audi A3 because they allow the front seats to move as far back as you'd like. this issue exists in a recent nissan altima rental i had as well.
So for truly tall people that want a sedan, you're pretty much forced to go German.
@@wl2486 I can see being that tall would be very challenging to find a car you can fit in. I know a lot of people tend to move to a SUV or larger vehicle rather than a sadan just because they are forced to. It would depend on the shape of your body too. I'm more torso than legs so I don't have a problem with hoe far back the seat goes. That is why I also really appreciate the accord because it sits much lower in the car versus others so you really feel like you sit in it. This allows me to have ample head room while not having to lean the seat back so far I can't reach the steering wheel comfortably.
@@wl2486 just buy the landcruiser my bruv
@@muramasa870 dude here’s the thing! My buddy has a 2009 Lexus GX470, same exact problem. This gigantic truck, but the seat barely goes back far enough to sit in. Yet, I can get into a Mercedes A220, and be far more comfortable. Go figure
@@wl2486 are just get a custom seat put in. All you have to do is get longer seat tracks.
Mazda 6 styling looks amazing.. so sensual
Outdated
Number 1 for sure!
@@jaredshelton4718
Relax. Mazda has retired the 6.
2022 is the last year.
@@monkeywkeys3916 They're working on a replacement and according to Mazda it might be RWD
Classic beauty that lasts.
As a Honda lover I’m kind sad you didn’t get the 2.0t but the other brands you did get the bigger engine options. Anyways still love the video thanks!
The Mazda 6 is the most elegant one in this bunch. Sonata looks like a catfish!
I believe Mazda is slowly turning into a luxury division.
I just bought a second hand Mazda 6 after 2 months of hardcore research.
I owned only Alfa Romeo’s 145/147/159 (i was extremely happy with those cars btw 🥰)
But they stopped making station models 😢 (and i needed space for my kids)
But I didn’t wanted to buy a suv
I wanted the same luxury, refinement and sportiness
But I also reliability good dealerships and a reasonable price
All that led me to the Mazda 6 sportbreak
I have it now for the 3th day and boy I must admit
What a great car ! 😮
Reading all these comments Im so glad i made the wright choice 🎉
A moment of silence for all Nissan Altima fans 😭😂🙏
The Honda Accord 2.0T Sport should have been featured in this comparison instead because it has a much more powerful and exciting Type R engine under the hood for a good value.
That was long enough
There are Altima fans?
@@josephcitizen4195 Yea, right behind the radiator
Me
@@ThisGuyRides Just had to do it to em'
Seeing public busses, parking garages and people picking up litter made me miss home. Nice change from the canyon driving I often watch. Kudos to the outside camera person.
Oh - and the cars are nice too haha.
I'll go for the TRD Camry.
I'm nearly 60yrs old and have owned a BMW, Porsche, MBZ, and a Honda. I now drive a '13 Camry SE V6 and I'm surprised that it has become my favorite car of anything I've owned. It definitely is reliable, no joke.
Many enthusiasts look down at my "Appliance" but I will outdrive you, the car is very capable, and if you beat me, hey, it's just a Camry.
It's no fun replacing those rear spark plugs, though!
@@awesomeone2979 the newer Camrys have cool designs
I own a Vette 😁. But yea, I’d choose Camry. That new body style is dope.
NOT having the Accord 2.0T to go up against the 2.5T Mazda6, V6 Camry and 1.6T Hyundai...is just unfair comparison.
Sonata also has 2.5T N-Line.
We asked for the 2.0, as we wanted it for this comparison. This car is what was available. Thanks for watching.
@@EverydayDriver then dont make the video with mixed match trims lol
@@kim99jung Again, we can't always choose what we want. The 2.0 wasn't available, we still wanted to include the Accord because it is still relevant with the 1.5. And the N-Line didn't exist yet when we shot this.
@@phattyhales they don’t realize how hard it is to get 4 cars to review at once let alone new ones that are similarly optioned

Bought the Mazda 6 Grand Tour model 4 month ago honestly never thought I would like a Mazda but I love the car and glad I bought it
For whatever reason I felt like watching this again as a refresh. Have to say that with every video I watch, it feels that Todd is more in line with my taste/preference in cars than Paul. Choosing the Mazda6 over the others means a lot.
Thanks for wanting to watch it again. And we always hope that people will find one of the hosts aligns with their own sensibilities, so our conclusions can help you find something you'll love. Glad to know it's resonating with you!
You spent 34K on a Sonata and didn't get the N-Line?
When they said the Camry was the only sports oriented one I was shicked
The N-Line is not the same as if they had a Sonata-N. And the N-line wasn’t out when we shot this. Thanks for watching!
I can somehow relate. I bought the sonata limited last year before the n-line was available.
Limited only adds heated steering, ventilated seats and some surround cameras. N-line does seem like the best choice.
@@EverydayDriver the N-Line is the performance model with 290hp. Comparable to the TRD. The Sonata Limited makes no sense in this comparison.
@@dustinprenger1374 I agree, because the Limited is more luxury oriented. The N-Line sonata is missing a few features from the Limited but compares to the TRD. The Mazda 6 delivers on both these aspects in a sense but it's outdated in both.
I love my mazda6. ☺️
brought all the top trim, but y’all decided to bring the EX-L with 1.5T. Could have at least brought the Sport 2.0T.
Bad the sonata n line
Yeah they fucked up and screwed over the Accord.
Who cares? It's a Honda. They don't need to waste time trying to find a shitty car.
I would take the accord 2.0 over all of these but damb the Camry looks real nice!
It looks awful. It's like some teenager went and got a boring family sedan all riced out.
@@janoycresnova9156 Camry, Accord, Sonata, K5, Malibu, Civic, Elantra and Veloster all look like they where "designed" by a 16 year old for his first year CAD class midterm project.... that he forgot was due today.... and whipped these car "designs" together in like 2 hours.
The Mazda looks like it was sculpted by HAND over the course of MONTHS, by a BMW or Audi designer who's 35 years into his craft.
The 6 looks the a timeless luxury car, every other car in this class looks like a ugly cybernetic bug that's trying to hard to be "futuristic."
@theory816 ew white… most overrated car color. Pearl white isn’t any better
that camry looks riced the hell out.
RIP Mazda 6 (in the U.S.). It's amazing how much better it looks compared to the others.
Are they no longer for sale in the U.S ?
@@whatever3749 2021 is the last model year for the U.S.
They'll be back.
I'm going to miss the Mazda6.
Seems like the base model stinger fits in this price range
The Sonata N Line beats the Camry TRD.
From a rolling start the Sonata N line/ K5 GT are absolute rockets.
It’s not all about speed
I’ll take the Camry or accord any day. And for those interested, the 2.0t accord is a sleeper when tuned with basic k tuner.
Sleeper?
would love a 2.0T Accord comparo to the current crop of sedans. i really appreciated the tour of downtown Denver in this video, too!
Now this is an affordable comparison. You got 100% my interest.
Driving a 2000 Toyota Solara with 218000 miles on it and everything works .I have a m240i on order and can’t wait.Love your show!
The Mazda 6 Carbon Edition is the BEST value in the midsize sedan market today. It has nearly all the same features as the Signature without the price. Just bought one brand new for roughly 31k and let me tell you….best decision I ever made. Its the perfect combination of sport and luxury. Turns so many heads….everyone is always asking me about it. Glad I got mine before they stopped making them. We may never see another Gem like this Mazda 6
The Mazda 6 is a great car no doubt but how is yours holding up to road debree striking the bumper/hood? The versions before this one also had an issue with the bumper corner becoming detached by the wheel well. The body of the car itself was also quite thin.
@@vg4472 So far so good….I mean it’s still brand new, but I haven’t seen anything concerning yet. I drive mine a lot on the highway, so I think I’ll find out soon. Worse case scenario, I’ll get PPF on the hood and front bumper
The Mazda6 is definitely my pick. It's in a class above the others in driving experience and quality.
yeah, no not really. the accord 2.0t blows any mazda garbo out the water
@@uberefficent3936the mazda is actually held back from Factory. And a simple ecu tune on the skyactiv engines does wonders. And way more reliable than hondas current oil burning issues 😂
@@uberefficent3936my cousin has a 2021 accord with the 2.0t. and its overheated on him twice with no mods and he babies it. My dad has a 2.5t Mazda6 and its been flawless. And is wayy faster after the versa ecu tune.
@@know916bound Lol only the 2018-2020 1.5 turbo engines had that issue, and in certain weather. and mostly when the engine is idling
@@know916bound the honda accord 2.0t has a much superior transmission as well. dont forget that. and with a tune you can definitely blow that mazda6 outta the water
Just got a set of Michelin pilot sport as 4 for my 18 signature 6, the handling boost is just icing on the cake for the already fairly precise handling. If I can get a new Mazda infotainment retrofit that would be a dream come true. Love everything else the car has to offer for the 4yr ownership.
We got a new 2020 Sonata SEL 1.6T in glowing yellow and love it so much! Great looks and performance. The black is unimpressive, but the features and value are the best imo. We looked at Audi A5 (not as nice and way more $), and the Accord Sport (a little more
I bought brand new sonata sel plus with 1.6T I love it
I think Sonata's profile is really nice and sleek in certain angles especially the side, but it looks weird in some other angles. At least, it looks much better in real life than in vids. Maybe because it is round. Flat screens nurf its looks.
face looks like a catfish if they almost had it right with the N-line edition . but it's a car I would still drive
They actually look really nice I’m really life
Front end is lame. My son has a 2018 and front end is way better
I had Mazda 6 skyactive in that same red. Best car I've had. Got Jag now.
I have a 2015 Mazda6 and I love it. It’s my first car and I couldn’t be more happier with it. It’s not slow by any means, it’s reliable, and the interior and exterior still look very modern and are very nice
@@TK-Chicane mine was a 64 plate, 2014. Went like stink off the mark. Great fuel economy for such a fast car. Great on corners. Beautiful lines too. Got Jag now fully kitted but if Mazda ever brought out a coupé convertible of the 6, I would get one. You are very fortunate to have Mazda 6 as first car. My first car was ford cortina 1.6
I even remember the license plate. OBO 910G. That's nearly fifty years ago now. Many cars since. Stay safe my Mazda mate.
@@Didda3 thank you man, you as well!! There were lots of other options but I went with Mazda cause of how stylish they are. They are the nicest cars right now that you can get for a good price in my opinion. Congratulations on the Jaguar by the way. My next car is a toss up. I would love to have a 2006 Chevy SSR LS, a 2012 Mercedes c63 amg, or a e46 M3.

I can't help but wonder had you gotten the Accord 2.0 would your opinions differ. Same for the Toyota, another model with a softer ride. Does not feel like this was a apple to apple compression. I would love to see a base to base and a top trim to top trim. Maybe next time. This was still very entertaining. Thank you guys.
I love how the 2.0T Accord these days is an engine like the Evo X :)
I’ve said the same thing. I have an evo x. My wife has the 20t accord. Her accord is pretty quick.
@@N8morob the engineering coming in with direct injection designs are just blowing the old engines out of the water. I used to have an Evo X, these days have a 2.0T WRX and it's amazing to see where engineering has gone!
The medium salsa! I lol'd.
This is fine, but what's missing is some thoughts on longevity. The turbo, for example, probably not an ideal choice that most people don't factor in. Naturally aspirated Toyotas and especially Hondas have a reputation of running forever. It's not just about how a car performs new.
MOST of the reviews on cars are focused on the here and now and not longevity, Reliability. who cares how quickly you go from 0 to 60? punching the engine like that regularly will ruin the engine!

I am eagerly waiting for the Mazda 6 Rear wheel drive redesign that is coming in the next year or so.

These guys aren't reviewing. They are flirting with the cars.
I'm team mazda, accord and sonata! Beautiful!!
Shame no 2.0T accord. I love the look of the TRD Camry, the Mazda is classy, and the Sonota has great tech for the price. Personally I like accord 2.0T best but you really can’t go wrong.
Mazda are the mist under-rated car out there. Look unbelievable , fun to drive and so reliable
The new 2021 hyundia elantra/sonata is so under rated I loveeeeee mine it's very stylish and flashy
Yah kudos to hyundai for mimicking the front end as a catfish.
Lol
This must have been made before Mazda announced they are discontinuing the 6.
Well..... We might be getting a RWD, inline-6 Mazda 6. They only stopped the production of it. Hopefully the rumors are true. Mazda is slowly eating away at Volvo and BMW. Without the reliability problems of the BMW or the Alfa Romeo.
@@michaelpan7737 Its not the Mazda6 anymore then. It's on a new platform, and will go up a class in price. It will be better than your average midsize because it costs more than one. I believe that Honda still has the crown when it comes to the affordable midsize!
@@davidcazares7441 Who knows at this point. Mazda is intending to fill the gap between mainstream and luxury. Mazda might still price it within the pricing it has now. One way it’s doing that is making it’s cars fractionally smaller than its competition. Or they might have different methods of manufacturing that could cut down costs. However, Mazda is currently going down the same road as Toyota did with Lexus and making a car that is significantly less expensive than its competitors. One day, Mazda will be a premium competitor.
Mazda is slowing Turing into a Luxury company. The interiors are getting nicer every year and the price is only going up. I’m really sad they are discontinuing the 6. They have a chance to rip at Honda, Toyota, BMW, and other companies with how nice the sedans are.
Mazda of course
Honda and Toyota for sure, been getting both Toyota and Honda. Ordered the 2022 Camry TRD to mix fun and function for my family. Now I will have a 2017 CRV and the 2022 Camry TRD. That V6 is all I need!
In 2018 I saw a Snowflake Pearl Mazda6 Signature with the parchment (white) interior. I fell in love and leased it for 3 years. At 2 years I found I had $1600 in equity even tho I only put $500 down when I leased it. So we moved into a ‘20 CX-9 lease a year early. Jump ahead 3 years and we decided to “buy” a sedan and eschew leasing and the redundant SUV world. We drove all the usual suspects and although they were 2023s we thought they all lacked the quality and the soul of our 2018 Mazda 6. We found a pristine, one owner 2020 Snowflake Mazda 6 Grand Touring, 30k miles and a price at $12-$15,000 less than a brand new Accord, Camry, Sonata etc. WE LOVE IT! Welcome back old friend! You look beautiful sitting in the garage next to our ‘21 Polymetal grey MX-5 RF Club BBR. Mazda is always the answer! Todd nailed it with his choice!
My preference would be the Sonata, more technology, daring style and a great warranty. The Mazda6 would be a close 2nd but sales never matched what Mazda hoped for, so RIP Mazda6.
Not necessarily as The mazda 6 is gonna get a makeover soon. Not gonna be discontinued like many people think.
@@arshaq4471 I seen someone else saying it's not coming to the US tho, idk if it's true or not.
@@CentinalxGaming I don't think so, US market is too big not to pay attention for
@@kubanorozbekov7384 I don't like Sonata because it's made in Korea.
I want a Camry... I've always respected that V6.
Its a boring car
@@aono335 it’ll last longer than any of the other cars
@@henryphan698 No one cares
@@henryphan698 Mazda actually got a higher reliability rating from consumer reports this year. Mazda is really stepping up their game
@@jonathanhidalgo4591 No one asked for your opinion. Simmer down
I've been a Mazda driver most of my life. I currently drive a Mazda 6 with the lightest engine (2.0) and a 6-speed manual gearbox, but then I am much more about comfort and luxury than about speed.
Mazda 6 is the Clear winner here..gonna buy it soon...yeahaaa
I owned a 2019 2.0 EX-L (sold it) and got into the Mazda 6 because for less $ I was getting way more luxury features and a tighter drive. I’m a Honda lover at heart but Mazda sure has come a long way. Excited to see what they bring with their flagship car in 2022
The Camry TRD looks kinda bad-ass. And I never, ever thought I would say that about a Camry!
It looks god awful. Even uber drivers would throw up
An!t looks the best XD
That ricer wing and all kinds slats and the front face looks like that freak from predator movie lol
deephouse O “ricer” god that word is over used
Ok, I like the Camry TRD, and I even like how the car looks, but come on, bad ass? The front end is too ugly
Mazda6 looks standout.
Owned a 2000 HondaAccord Ex coupe luv it, own a 2012 Mazda, mazda6 I touring .Honda for looks and speed, Mazda for interior, looks ,both great cars.
You know what, I thought Paul and Todd never saw a city before. This was a surprising episode.
Mazda6 please. Best looking, most elegant interior, and most power. Oh, and when painted Soul Red, orgasmic!!
They do look really good in person
I guess.. I did right choice... By having mazda 6. It's really a value for money and luxury.. even I have sports switch... but who races all day...that I care for that extra throttle .
The looks.. comfort... Interior and exterior... Amazing in all aspects.
Most of all.... Ride quality is far better in Mazda and Honda than Camry or Sonta or kia K5.
Go for Mazda guys.... U won't regret
Mazda ALWAYS
1:23, correction I believe the Sonata N-Line is the sports line of Hyundai's line. But then again most Car reviewers on TH-cam have a bias towards Hyundai & Kia
Really looking forward to the next-gen Mazda6 with RWD and an inline 6 option.
Yes but when is that coming? All we know is that for now the 2021 Mazda6 is the last one they're putting out for now. We all hope that it gets a refresh and come out swinging. It's much too nice a car to disappear forever.
That won't be happening, unfortunately.
@@Ironfangzu I read 2023?
@@Ironfangzu Once the iron out the inline 6 on the cx90, we should get it on the mazda 6
Love you guys. I bought my fiesta at because you guys. But my wife’s Honda Accord sport 2014 is are family car with the most room of any sedan 🚘 and the suspension and driving characteristics are amazing. My parents Camry is great but the Honda is just the most refined everyday car you can drive. Can’t go wrong with a Honda or Toyota. I would never buy the other two because of Reliability and depreciation
Currently at 65k miles with my ‘15 Sonata and not one dealer visit nor a tow truck nor calling the car warranty company to file a claim! I also relocated across the US for a new job with my car full of my crap ! Zero issues ! Just some perspective.
@@ascott2168 Hyundais are much better now than they were 10-15 years ago, but it's gonna be a good long while for them to build a reputation for reliability as they are competing with Toyota and Honda's 250-300k common long-term mileage.
@@zacharyyang8697 yeah I get that but folks are quick to buy something European without thinking, knowing that they have quality control issues over the long haul ! BMW, Mercedes, VW, Jaguar, LRRR ect…poor quality yet marketed as “luxury” !
@@ascott2168 No and that's a fair point. I hate to say it, But I'd take a modern Hyundai over a BMW/Mercedes
@@zacharyyang8697 I would lease a BMW or MB ! Not even if I was rich. All of us want a car to start up and go every time we get into it and not have silly electronic gremlins falter, head gaskets blow at 50k miles & trim pieces fall a part and/or creak inside when dishing out $70k 🙄🙄
love the city traffic and flyby clips
Bought a sonata nline bout 2 months ago and for sure made the right decision !!!
Purchased a 2022 Sonata May-2022. Put on 20k miles in a year, noting I have a 58-mile daily RT for work. I absolutely adore my Sonata. GREAT mileage, very comfortable, fairly quick. Tad bit "jerky" in braking and acceleration; as noted in the video. I really like the catfish front-end, some people don't like it. About the only downside ? It's difficult to tell where the side and nose of the car are. Meaning while the car is very easy to drive and park; in a way parking can be slightly cumbersome. Up real close, it's just tough to tell where the sides of the car are as you're parking. Other than this tidbit, absolutely GREAT car and quite the bargain. If it matters, I have the "SEL" version.
You have an update? Thinking of getting one for the family. Thanks!
@@misk.421 All still pretty much the same as three months ago. Flat out GREAT car. I'm getting excellent mileage in-town, but I stress that is on in-town freeways. Meaning across Phoenix, half with traffic and half pretty much devoid of traffic. The car is rated at 27-City and 37-Highway, and I'd say that's about right. In-town it's 25-28, and on the freeway to/from Phx to Prescott at roughly 75 mph (ranging from 65 to 85), it's about 37 mpg. Now, in-town on the freeways, averaging 60-70, it's getting 40-42 mpg. But, that's about the best scenario. As before, I will say it's a bit difficult to see the sides, nose, and tail of the car. At least compared to my prior Sonata (a 2013), which did not have that minor issue. Awesome, awesome car all around, I just love it. Let's see. One other minor tidbit that's a bit annoying. All the warning bells, whistles, oddball sounds. They are all safety features, but they can be annoying.
@@ButcherBird-FW190DThank you for the description. I’m planning on getting the 2024 limited hybrid.
@@filetofish7688 I am certain you will like it. I'm not big on the hybrid action in that the SEL itself gets excellent mileage. This stated, the hybrid would likely do even better.
The SEL is rated at 27/37, and that's about right. I get anywhere from 25-40 as a general statement. The freeway 40mpg is at 75-80mph, generally with the AC on. I have driven on the freeways when it was really quiet at a constant 55mph, and it gets a staggering 55mpg at that speed. More realistically, it's about 45 mpg at 65 mph, falling to 40 at 75-80, then 37mpg or so at 85mph. Take care.
Food for thought....testing these vehicles at 5200 feet altitude handicaps the normally aspirated Camry.....
I learned here that I don't want any of them, but there is a ton of tech and luxury and build quality trickling into that class of car. It's awesome that they are there as an option.
They seem to be pretty limited though, like Camry V6 AWD is not available.. I really need AWD for Canada.
As a Mazda 6 fanboy unfortunately decided to go in another direction since they are discontinued and don’t offer AWD. Went with the Camry. Miss my Mazda ride and feel, but winter in Western PA goes much better. The low profile tires in the 6 suck in the snow even with winter tread
Have you guys driven the 2.0 variant of the Accord?
Apparently they haven't.
The Camry now has recieved an interior update
Mainly on the infotainment
I found it impressive that a video I saw earlier pitted the Camry against a Masda 6. Both times the Mazda 6 won a drag race, with lower horsepower, higher torque, and a 4-cylinder (the Camry was a V6)! I guess you can tell I’m a Mazda fan!?!?
I wonder how it fairs against the 2.0t Honda or the 2.5t Sonata
I love my Mazda 6 2016 .
I do find it weird to not include the n-line and accord 2.0 in this comparison of sporty sedans. N line is affordable too.
It's a hatch.
@@MrNightpwner No, it's not
The N line didn't exist at the time of the shoot. And unfortunately there was no 2.0 Accords in the press fleet either.
@@phattyhales Which is hilarious. The N-Line Sonata came out back in... Fall of 2020? It took them dang near 9 months to release this video which is a horrible comparison between vehicles of wildly varying trim levels.
Got the accord 2.0 with the k tuner, it's surprisingly fast ngl, loses traction at 40 miles an hr when I floor it 😅
Damn, been looking for this 4 matchup vid for 2 months summer fam!
@11:53 coming into frame that Sonata in black! just looks mean & I love it.
