I'm a first time mazda owner and I'm super impressed with their fit and finish. I compare our mazda 3 GT premium with our loaded 330xi M package and they're very comparable, and they're $25000 apart in terms of pricing. That's a huge price difference, but the quality difference is very minimal, and we get unlimited mileage warranty with Mazda and not with BMW. Good job Mazda.

Hey Joe! Just wanted to say I watched all of your 2021 midsize sedan reviews in search of my new ride. I was so impressed by this review of the Mazda 6 that it went straight to the top of my list for test drives this memorial day weekend. Needless to say I was blown away! I fell in love with the car practically on site, and I can now say I'm a proud owner of a 2021 Machine Gray Mazda 6 Signature edition. Thank you so much for your GREAT reviews, and thank you Lori for working your magic behind the camera! Best regards, A happy fan!
I own a 2015 and a 2017 and I'm seriously considering upgrading to a 2021 Turbo 6 of some sort. I just love driving these Mazda's....I think along with Honda, Mazda has perfected front wheel drive dynamics, and this car is just beautiful. It's striking how under-appreciated sedans seem to have become. My local Mazda dealer has 7 total Mazda 6's on their lot right now compared to 75 CX-5's.
Drove a base model for 2 weeks as a loaner car when my Mazda 3 was in for a repair. Even though it's a base model, it has all the safety features that Mazda offer, less powerful engine and smaller wheel, but it's drive well and handles great. Very impressive.
I bought this exact car the 2020 model and it is magnificent. I traded in my BMW 2007 750Li and wow. It drives and looks like a BMW for a third of the price. But the best part, not one single thing has broken or even hinted at future maintenance which is definitely something I could never say about the 14 Bummers I've owned that were all great driving cars but they liked going back to the dealership for maintenance. Mazda on the other hand has been faultless in every way.
I wish I could say the same I got a CPO 2018 signature model and it’s been to the dealership 4 times since I got it in august for the metal piece in the seat popping out in fact it’s there right now for that exact reason and it also had a small coolant leak apparently. I still very satisfied tho

@@nicksdragon6929 thank u that is actually perfect because I do live in California I think I already googled lemon law but it said it only applies for mechanical stuff but maybe my case might work
Joe, I love the review. I bought my first Mazda 6 in 2003. Bought another Mazda 6 in 2015. I too grew up in the 80's and totally remember the rotary engine. Great stuff, brother. Keep up the good work.
Lori you are killing it with these camera skills! Thank you for cranking out these reviews bringing the heat to 2021 already! I know Joe appreciates your loyal partnership! Thank you Joe! I’m a fan of Mazda.... I’ve owned 5! They have always offered affordable fun!
I’m still taking my 2020 Accord Sport 2.0T over this but it looks great. Definitely some nicer materials inside and more premium looking than mine but I prefer the exterior of the Honda. More aggressive looking. Handling and driving-wise it’s a wash with a slight edge to the Honda. Can’t go wrong though.
@@pmiahky yup differen strokes for different folks. The accord is very boat looking, long and buick like. Back end is horrendous. Front end if for teens. The mechanics are great though! Interior has is better than prior years, but still not as nice as this Mazda
Listen i know im 3yrs late but i LOOOOOOVE MAZDA. first-time owner here i currently own 2017 mazda 6 GT AND BOI OH BOI im currently in the market for a CX-50 GREAT JOB MAZDA.
I have the 2016 version of this car and I LOVE it. While the infotainment is not the “best,” it’s more than enough. In 5 years, I’ve used the touchscreen about 3 times and most people don’t drive like they’re on a racetrack.
Jo, you have ignited my view when it comes to Mazda lately. This Mazda 6 ticks of all the boxes for me. Although the infotainment is slightly old, it works perfectly and that's what counts in my book. This Mazda is designed for casual around town driving and for the open road too. And as usual, a well laid out presentation.
I bought a 2019 model in 2020 for a great deal for my wife oh boy we love it what a beautiful car with those premium details inside and out very good quality of materials graphite gray with black interior 8 k dlls discount
Love this Mazda very much! I have been following your shows for a few weeks. You did fantastic job because... you made all of your videos accessible for me. I am Deaf so I need to read the captions. Thank you so much!!! Also, didn’t you notice you drove up behind a Soul Red Miata and CX-7 in the video??? I found it so cool!!! Keep up with fantastic job and thank you Lori for fantastic video work!
Have 2020 Mazda 6 GTS trim and the car is absolute joy. Offers same features as 45K Mercedes and bmw for so much less. Car looks so much more expensive both inside and out. Quality and reliability is top notch. very underrated vehicle
@@st.thomas5802 i got the reserve in wayne ,NJ. I live in NY but i used that RODO app and it was actually pretty good . I was in the car business for about 8 years and i got a little better of a deal from the app than my own friends.
As an owner of an '18 Mazda6 with manual, I'm so happy to see you doing another Mazda, review! Even on the Sport (base) trim, the quality of materials in the interior do not disappoint at all. Also, its a blast to drive with manual as well. On another note, my lease is up in May and as I was highly considering the Mazda3 with turbo, I opted for going the Ford Bronco route, as I reserved one back in July. Regardless, I love what Mazda is doing (I use to own an '06 Speed 6 and a '12 Speed 3) and I only hope they continue to do well in the future (f you 2020)!
I just bought a Mazda6 Signature turbo on January 9th, and I love it!! It looks great and the interior is immaculate. It’s also super fun to drive and has plenty of zip. I wasn’t sold on turbo 4s over V6s, but I am now. I think it is the best mid-sized family sedan on the market. Zoom zoom!!
@@goosem4554 I actually traded it in this September for a 2022 Mazda CX-5 Signature. The 6 was a really solid car. I had it for about 1.5 years and didn't have any major problems with it. The only minor issues I had with it was some excessive wind noise, door panel rattles, and a few other small things that were really just inconveniences rather than actual problems. After a year and a half, though, and with the minor issues I had with it, I knew the 6 wouldn't be a car that I would want to drive for 10+ years, so I switched to the CX-5 Sig and I honestly couldn't be happier! It's an upgrade in every way, and that's saying something because the 6 was already a really good car, but the CX-5 is fantastic!
@@ryanzeid146 we have a cx5 in the family as well. I have a different brand of vehicle and looking for a change and something a bit bigger. For the most part from what I have read is the 2.5t mazda 6 is a solid reliable car. To be honest when I got into my wifes cx5 I was pleasantly surprised by the interior quality and it drove like a car.
Nice car for the money but I don’t think it’s the best. I wouldn’t pick the light colored interior. Thanks for sharing it Joe. Nice smooth on throttle ride! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
@@RaitisRides I love the light interior. But I don't have any kids or dogs that ride with me. I've never had any trouble keeping light interiors clean. I live in sunny Hawaii, so I prefer light colors since they stay cooler. Also I find an all black interior to be very monotonous...
Great review but a few things Raiti got wrong... 1) The adaptive headlights don't "steer"... the cameras sense oncoming cars (and cars that you are following) and dim only the LEDs that would blind those drivers. If you are approaching a car on a corner, the LED's will dim for the approaching car but show you (on high) the road behind and in front of the car. Very cool. 2) You didn't have the HUD displaying the traffic signs.. (I suspect on purpose as you, like me have a bit of a heavy foot) but it shows you the current speed limits, any stop or yield signs, etc. as well as your current speed and where you are in the lanes when you have the cruise control and LKAS system turned on. 3) The touchscreen on the Nav system only works when the car is stopped (although you can easily install a "hack" to turn that safety feature off). 4) He completely skipped over all the technical safety stuff (don't follow his reviews - yet - so perhaps he always does) but it comes with Lane Keeping Assist (not nearly as aggressive as the Honda system but works well otherwise), Stop and Go Radar Cruise Control, Driver Monitoring (watches for patterns in your driving that suggest it might be time to take a break), and a bunch of other features like great blind spot detection, automatic braking (forwards and backwards), etc. Other than that, it was a brilliant review and I just bought a Soul Red Signature Edition with the Chestnut brown seats instead of the white (which I didn't want as I can't imagine living with them with kids and a dog). I'm coming from the original Coupé styled 4 door Mercedes-Benz CLS 550 and this thing rivals it for looks and beats it on luxury. I'm used to people drooling over the CLS 550 and that has already started to happen with the Mazda. They did a fantastic job on the looks (the front end looks to me like an Aston Martin) and that Soul Red colour is beyond stunning. All the options that cost me a fortune on the CLS 550 are included on this puppy and then a lot more. Can't quite touch the 400HP Naturally Aspirated V8 with 397 ft-lb of torque (with a 4.7 second 0-60) but comes closer than I'd have thought possible with the 250 HP, 310 ft-lb of torque in a Turbo 4 cylinder... Sounds wonderful as well plus it won't cost $1K every time you take it to the stealership. While my Admiral drives a Honda Civic and loves it (I don't mind it and the looks eventually grew on me), the looks of the Accord make me want to vomit and the Hyundai looks like a well used bar of soap. I figured I'd try out the Mazda and if I like it, I'll pick up one of the upcoming Straight Six/RWD Mazda 6's in a couple of years as if they can do this with a 7 year old design, imagine what they can do with a clean sheet.
Thanks Joe. My friend has a 2014 Mazda 6 GT, he loves it. We drove a slightly used 2019 Mazda 6 GT reserve, he loves the turbo! He tried to buy the car, but his credit wasn't where it needed to be. It was this color combo, and I thought it was a really sharp car.
I picked up the 2020 Mazda 6 Signature instead of the 2021 due to so few changes. Offered me 0% APR on 2020 but would have been 0.9% for the 2021. Got the signature in the red as well. My only frustration is the infotainment system and no remote start. If they had updated the infotainment system to the new one, I would have gone for the 2021.
If Mazda continues to get better, when I am older and either used or newer gens were to build on the beauty of this vehicle, I am getting myself a Mazda 6. Stuck with a civic at the moment and, while I love my dependable civic, I need a little bit more of a premium feel as well as a little more power.
I have adaptive LED headlights on my Mazda MX-5, and it really is fantastic. Combined with auto-on and auto high-beam, it’s the best lighting system of any car I’ve ever driven.
Don't buy it you will be very disappointed if your looking for a smooth suspension...car drives bumpy very rough bucks & jerks in lower gears unless you like that then buy it!
Luv my 2017 6.... 65k trouble free miles. 2018 was a disappointment with cylinder deactivation but they had so many recalls with it most models have it gone in 2021.
I watched this video once of a new Mazda6 Signature vs a new BMW 530i. I just couldn’t wrap my head around how they compared… until I finished the video. Now I’d happily choose a 6 over a 530i.😬
Another great review. I agree with you Joe, the Carbon Edition. My local dealer has one on the lot. Looks great. I have an 8 inch screen and I don't think I could do any better with a 10 inch, so .......
Like the styling of this car, did expect wireless charging but for $36,000 this is still a nice vehicle. Like the light color interior, I’m kind of sick of black interiors. I know they’re a headache to keep clean but it makes me smile, what can I say.
I’m so torn between the 2021 Mazda 6 touring and grand touring. That turbo charged engine sounded awesome but I’m still debating if everything else that comes with the grand touring package is really worth it.
A moment of silence: Mazda has announced that they will cancel production of Mazda 6 sedan in 2022. Will they replace it with a Fusion concept like sedan after 2022 with a rear drive platform?
Great comment about the side sill Joe. For $36K no wireless charging? Humm. Any idea about the pricing of the re-designed RWD 6? What size tires would you recommend for the 6/Turbo? Does one have to purchase the Signature trim for the turbo?
I think it needs a complete redesign i would like to see pano roof, 10.23 inch nav screen and a 12.3 inch digital display. Then it may catch my attention!
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.
I think the Mazda 6 is one of THE best looking sedans in the world regardless of price. A beautiful piece or art given todays design restraints.
You know it’s going to be good when he starts off with “boi oh boi”
Thanks for saying that!

@@RealKevGotEm maybe
@John Q. it can’t be. What will happen in 2025 lmao. They have to change
@Amadeus Luciiann they’re redesigning it, and giving it a new name
It's great that you and our mechanic know each other!!!!
Thanks for saying that!
Great vehicle, great review and an excellent value! Thanks as always Joe
I am so glad that you are digging this one bud!
I love this car. I'm 6'3" though, and wondering about driver headroom/legroom. Will I be comfortable in it?
And Raiti gang is here‼️‼️
New favorite channel. Plan on leasing fall 2021 or winter 2021/2022
Thanks for saying that and letting me share all the cars with you!
If Mazda continues to get better, when I am older and either used or newer gens were to build on the beauty of this vehicle, I am getting myself a Mazda 6. Stuck with a civic at the moment and, while I love my dependable civic, I need a little bit more of a premium feel as well as a little more power.
its front styling looks expensive...unlike the transformer ish styling of accord and camry....never mind the catfish sonata...LOL
Lol i always laugh because something about the Civic Hatch Touring trim looks like a damn transformer, it looks ridiculously overstyled
I came here for Twinkie storage compartments.
Hey Joe you ever get a ticket on those test drives?
I’ve always thought of that
Knock on wood Danny! Don't jinx me! LOL
@@anthoneymarquez3904 shhhhhhh.... don't jinx me! LOL
@@RaitisRides might just get a free pass lol
@@RaitisRides Well you were hauling the mail in that Mazda 6! LOL
Couldn’t imagine what I’d do if you stop posting videos! And you should keep this camera angle for the rest of your reviews it’s great!
2021 Mazda 6 grand touring reserve or 2021 kia k5 gt?
Thanks for the history about the Tucker headlights. I wonder why it never caught on? Is it really beneficial?
I have adaptive LED headlights on my Mazda MX-5, and it really is fantastic. Combined with auto-on and auto high-beam, it’s the best lighting system of any car I’ve ever driven.
I'm going to look at one of these tomorrow (red as well)...great preview!
Don't buy it you will be very disappointed if your looking for a smooth suspension...car drives bumpy very rough bucks & jerks in lower gears unless you like that then buy it!
@@phalisatumblin1249 I didn't...went Subaru Outback.
Seems like all Mazda's have great paint jobs & colors
The redesign is going to be amazing.
@Amadeus Luciiann it’ll be back. Just not offering it for 2022
@Amadeus Luciiann it’s will come back with the inline 6
.... I'm driving a Q50 at the moment.... waiting for the new Mazda 6 with a 6 banger.... Will seriously consider buying one..
Luv my 2017 6.... 65k trouble free miles. 2018 was a disappointment with cylinder deactivation but they had so many recalls with it most models have it gone in 2021.
I watched this video once of a new Mazda6 Signature vs a new BMW 530i. I just couldn’t wrap my head around how they compared… until I finished the video. Now I’d happily choose a 6 over a 530i.😬
I love my 2020 base model Mazda6 😊 I think the Carbon edition would be my top choice though
That "hump" going to front of car reminds me of my Q70
Can somebody help me out here is the signature model different from the sport model or does the signature includes everything from the other models
Wow . Thanks too much detailed review 😘
With the Signature - are the seats/leather softer or more comfortable than the carbon edition or the grand touring reserve trim?
Yes, the Signature has Nappa Leather seats and Alcantara dash.
Another great review. I agree with you Joe, the Carbon Edition. My local dealer has one on the lot. Looks great. I have an 8 inch screen and I don't think I could do any better with a 10 inch, so .......
8” is plenty for most of us
You know your bouta get a history lesson when Joe says, "let's talk about whats going on here". 🤣
Thanks John! You know me well!
Like the styling of this car, did expect wireless charging but for $36,000 this is still a nice vehicle. Like the light color interior, I’m kind of sick of black interiors. I know they’re a headache to keep clean but it makes me smile, what can I say.
I’m so torn between the 2021 Mazda 6 touring and grand touring. That turbo charged engine sounded awesome but I’m still debating if everything else that comes with the grand touring package is really worth it.
The Mazda 6 is a great sedans
I agree with youy!
@@bradleyscarreviews Mazda still working-its way up
Then why are sales always in the shitter?
Is there one reviewer that says “my sedan of choice” that actually has one? Nope
The Mazda design is so clean, man. Each iteration looks... pretty similar, but I think the design is quite frankly timeless.
You are very right about that!
Beautiful car. Thanks Joe and Laurie for the great review.
i wish you could time travel two years ahead and bring us a review of the next generation mazda 6. that will be a special car.
That frameless rear view mirror is nice too.
How is the handling compared to the Subaru Legacy?
It will handle sporty driving much better than the Legacy. Any of the midsize sedans are sportier than the Legacy.
“Take your iPhone 44 golden platinum addition and put it in here and it won’t get scratched” Lmao 😂 thank you joe for some laughs
Boy oh boy , best car channel , greetings from Kuwait
This Mazda looks great. Inside and out and that 2.5 turbo appears quick enough.
A moment of silence: Mazda has announced that they will cancel production of Mazda 6 sedan in 2022. Will they replace it with a Fusion concept like sedan after 2022 with a rear drive platform?
Great comment about the side sill Joe. For $36K no wireless charging? Humm. Any idea about the pricing of the re-designed RWD 6? What size tires would you recommend for the 6/Turbo? Does one have to purchase the Signature trim for the turbo?
I really like this, but I think they should redesign it and go all out like the sonata. They could do a great job!
They are in 2022. Going RWD, new engine etc....
can you please review the 2021 vw arteon,thank you
I absolutely love that you always use food as a point of reference for the door pockets. Be it Chipotle , Carl’s Jr., you’ve named them all 😂
Mazda is the #1 car brand in the world
This Mazda is my favourite Mazda
I think it needs a complete redesign i would like to see pano roof, 10.23 inch nav screen and a 12.3 inch digital display. Then it may catch my attention!
I am a die hard Ford guy but I really like the Mazda 6 and if the nearest dealer was not 50 miles away I would have bought one.
I'm not a fan of the tablet-style infotainment screen either, but I like it. I prefer the in-dash ones. The two tone interior is nice though.
I can totally understand where you are coming from.
You go Lorrie, great job, thanks
We love bringing it to you!
Cant wait for you to do 2021 Jaguar F-pace update. Im looking to buy that car
I will be bringing it to you!
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.
