    I just picked up the new Mazda6 Grand Touring and I must say the car is shockingly good. No other car in this segment can even come close to the new 6. I work for an auto company and I have driven virtually every D segment car available in the US. The new 6 is styling masterpiece, a true drivers car, with simple yet classy, functional and quality interior. The performance is fantastic. Engine is just right, transmission is spot on, handling wow and fuel efficiency spectacular! 10 out of 10!

    I see comments questioning the l-4 engine and power. I have had my 6 for a week now and it can scoot. I took it out yesterday, Saturday, and went into our local mountains. Never hesitated, chugged, or balked at any situation or hill. I checked the engine at one point to make sure all was well, it was cool as ever. Great engine!

    In my opinion, your previews are the best. They're very thorough, precise, and informative, with just a touch of humor and plenty of visuals of every crevice of the car. I really enjoy the exterior shots while on the road. And you pick the nicest neighborhoods to drive through. Your "split personally" shots are great. Doing so you simultaneously show front and rear legroom. I look forward to seeing future car reviews. Thanks.

    We test drove the Mazda 6 Grand Touring (black interior/exterior) and were very, very impressed. It's coming down to the Mazda 6, Altima, and Passat.
    I love the Tom Ford at Nordstrom Rack comment.

  • @DrivenCarReviews
    @DrivenCarReviews  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    ... and I sympathize. I have traveled to Europe a number of times and wonder how you all do it. But this is the US and the market forces are different. Take some consolation in that your roads are in much better shape.

    I got around 26 mpg, 3 less than the EPA average rating. My apologies for any confusion Mr. Hammer.

    Mazda really killed it with this car. Absolutely fantastic and when my mom decides to sell her Altima this will most likely be the replacement. The new Altima is very nice but I see it everywhere now, and the Accord is great as well but the 6 beats it by a sharp edge. Love it!!

  • @DrivenCarReviews
    @DrivenCarReviews  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I like the gear box on the 6 just fine. No issues. Sorry, I have only driven the V6 Accord so I can't comment on the CVT.
    Glad you're enjoying the videos. I've always wanted to go to Dubai. And Brazil.

  • @DrivenCarReviews
    @DrivenCarReviews  11 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Accord vs. 6? It's a personal choice. Really, you have to test drive and decide which one fits you. Don't let some guy from Seattle make your choice. It's your money

    • @justrandomthings319
      @justrandomthings319 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      6 is better. Better fuel efficiency, better design, better handling.

    Common misconception, the Bose comes with noise adjustment, which is able to tell how much road/wind noise there is and increase the volume to adjust, it does not "cancel" noise, Bose makes that very clear. Do you have a link for the decibel testing?

  • @smbc1129
    @smbc1129 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think it might be the shipping brackets. all older cars made in Japan used to have them to tie down the vehicle for shipment across the ocean, so they don't move around in transport.. I could be mistaken tho. :)

  • @hlcepeda
    @hlcepeda 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Re Car & Drivers latest mid-size sedan comparo and their recent 6 review, their @ 70 mph noise level dBA numbers put the 6 Sport quieter than the Passat 2.5 SE, and as quiet as the Accord EX-L. Also, the 6 Sport doesn't have the hi-end Bose system (i.e., engine/wind/road noise cancellation) while the GT tested by DrivenCarReviews does. That tells me that DCR is pretty much spot on re interior noise in its drive. (Assumption: C&D readings are taken under identical exterior noise conditions.)

  • @DrivenCarReviews
    @DrivenCarReviews  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Actually there is a very attractive wagon version of the 6, the US doesn't get it. I called Mazda up and Beverly Braga, the world's most awesome PR person said "we'll see where the market goes but at the moment, a Mazda6 wagon is not the current focus for the U.S."
    Hope that helps. TV

  • @DrivenCarReviews
    @DrivenCarReviews  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I care. Deeply. Unfortunately I get hundreds of emails a day. It's why I tell people to leave questions at my website where it's easier for me to keep track. As for the Accord vs. 6 question, it's a personal choice. Really, you have to test drive and decide which one fits you. Don't let some guy from Seattle make your choice. It's your money.

    I had a Mazda 3 back in 04/05 and it was a very nice little car. Since the Mazda 6 new body came out, I'm leaning toward it soon, but I'm holding out for the D version and w/ a larger display screen. We'll see.

    • @JericTamayo
      @JericTamayo 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah I have a Mazda3 05 too. I saw the Mazda6 commercial when it first came out; I wasn't impressed. I thought it was just like any ordinary car commercial. Then one day I was on break, sitting at the parking lot in front work, and a car passes by. This was the time when I didn't care about cars btw, but I fell in love with the design right away (made me think I needed to get a new tv because it was more striking in real life than on tv). Plus the Soul Red colour really did up the attractiveness of the car. I asked the driver enthusiastically what car this was - he answered: "Mazda6". I got hooked right away and ended up working for Mazda for awhile promoting the car at car shows lol. Yeah the new 2016 is going to be more sleek in the cabin with a bigger screen. Don't have the specs yet but it seems like it's a 7" just like the CX-3 and Mazda3. Honestly such a beautiful car.

    I wished Mazda would have kept the concept car at 0:29, that car was very very nice. If I was in the market to buy a new midsize sedan, I would skip the Mazda 6, and the reason is because all the other cars are at least assemble here in the U.S. which helps my country. Besides that, Mazda did a very good job on the Mazda 6 and should be 1 of the top competitors on this segment. Oh yeah, GREAT REVIEW TOM !!!!

  • @DrivenCarReviews
    @DrivenCarReviews  11 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @KonaKoo
    @KonaKoo 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Even though it seems like its not a lot of power, it really is more than adequate. It drives more like a free-revving V6 than a 4 cylinder. 7.5 seconds to 60? That's AMAZING for a car that size with that little power. Mazda has always been about fun to drive cars, not drag racers. One word: Miata.

  • @IAmAPhan
    @IAmAPhan 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I really like the design of this car. It's definitely one of the best in the segment. The only thing stopping me from considering this as my next car is the lack of powerful engine option. The Accord is the alternate.

  • @johnnyViDeO
    @johnnyViDeO 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great review, Tom, and the video was beautifully shot and edited (except for the styling sequence with a old steel building as a backdrop). So many "car experts' " videos use cheap, shaky, and out of focus dslr's handled by amateurs. This video is up to broadcast standards.

  • @vwmatt33
    @vwmatt33 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I drove an Accord sport with the 6 speed manual. Cars MSRP was $24K. That seemed like a huge value at MSRP. I'm an enthusiast for sure. I've owned the 1st generation 6 in hatchback form and loved it. I would assume this 3rd gen 6!is a sweet ride. I surely hope they drop in some sort of a turbo 4 cylinder in the 260 HP range with a manual trans!! That seems to be the 6's only achilles heal...power. The diesel will fly off the lot! So at this point the Accord sport would get my nod...

  • @82jmontgomery
    @82jmontgomery 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Tom, greetings from a Brazilian currently living in Dubai. (yes, you are THAT famous around the globe). What did you think about the car's transmission, and how does it compare to the CVT in the Accord? Which one did you think is the best, nowadays? (By the way, you have a great show. Keep up the great work)

  • @mrmysteriotx

    Let me throw my hat into the ring and say my biggest gripe with this car is the lack of "POWER", to quote Jeremy Clarkson! With such a sinfully-gorgeous design portfolio and driving dynamics to die-for, the lack of either a v6 option or v6-like competitive power makes me query, "Mazda, where's the Zoom Zoom"?!?!

    The Mazda 6 seems like a 1st rate offering. It looks like Mazda is getting their feet under them. The diesel should be interesting. The only problem will be the competition because, lets face it, the competition is very, very good. Who would have thought 20 years ago that the segment that gave us such beauties as the Ford Tempo and Chevy Celebrity would one day be stocked like this?

  • @Allaboutdatps3

    I'd put Mazda 6 on my list right next to Accord then Optima.

  • @Tednessful

    Best looking FWD in the business. It will be getting a bigger satnav soon. Great review but some occasional reckless drifting wouldn't be superfluous, either letting off the gas through the corner and countersteering plus re-accelerating or simply yanking up on the e-brake. With a RWD, however, it's almost too easy ;)

    I really wish they would come out with some different engine options. A turbo four or V6 would put this thing on my list of cars to look at. But as for now, The 2.5L and Diesel just don't cut it. The competition offers bigger powerplants.

    To the haters, stop a moment and think, you guys may be the kind of people that buys a V6, congrats you are a VERY small percentage of car buyers, in the past when fuel was cheap v6s use to represent around 10 to 15% of sales, in the next few years they will be around 5% at most, face the facts V6s are in an extinction process,10 years from now the only cars with V6s will be the ones that have v8s nowadays, and there´s nothing that will change that unless oil start falling from heaven.

    the CVT of the Honda Accord is terrible. It's noisy, growling when you press the gas pedal. It always feels weak going up the hill. it doesn't give you that kick when you want to pass other slower cars on the road. ALL CVT ARE BAD NO MATTER WHAT BRAND OF CAR THEY ARE FROM. STICK TO TRADITIONAL TRANSMISSION OF 6 SPEED MANUAL OR AUTOMATIC. CVT IS NOT GOOD.
