  • This is the new Mazda 6! It’s a more left-field alternative to your standard family saloon, and comes in at a relatively cheap price of £23,000. There’s no denying that it looks good, but does the interior and driving quality match up to the looks? Join Mat for his latest in-depth review to find out!

    Every time I see the Mazda 6 I’m blown away by it’s interior. It’s absolutely a league above its competitors. If Mazda made a luxury brand and vehicle (like their old cosmos brand) now it would be insane. Their attention to detail and styling is just so unique for the price of these cars. It really feels like a luxury car and looks like one too.

      I agree. One of the best-looking Interiors of a car I've owned was a 1994 Mazda 929. Chrome trim with powder blue leather interior. I obtained it with 100,000 miles in 2000 and traded it at 284,000 miles in 2007. The car looked and still ran half its age with the only major repairs being the replacement of the original radiator, original starter, and original front shock absorbers.

      Japanese BMW would be Honda, but Mazda would be like Volvo back in the days. Volvo used to be so revolutionary in terms of technology and safety, and I think Mazda is bringing it on today. They always bring features and technology that wouldn't exist in other cars with the same price. They seem to be wanting to be more premium than most cars, but still much more affordable than luxury cars.

      @@Hankercheif How about the tire noise? I have a -15 6 (175hp Diesel) and the noise it makes in highway is awful. Like my ears be ringing after a full day of driving around. I do sales work so I mostly drive on highways and I think that is the biggest downside in the older 6. I hope they are doing something about that in the future. Consumption is okay, I get 38-39 on average and in longer journeys 42-44 mpg. Otherwise I havent had any problems with it. I have driven like 80,000 km and now it has 160000km on it. I also had the older 6 (GH), I had to change the front tire bearings on both sides, DPF blocked, rear brakes got stuck and it had some smaller problems with coolant liquid disappearing, before I gave it away.

All in all the whole experience I've had with the car has been a fantastic one so far.

      @Olivier Lacaille I bought a used Mazda2 (built 2013), 1.3 MZR, 75HP, 70.000km driven, about 2 years ago. It's at 180.000km now. And I can confirm, it's an extremely reliable car. I drive 240km on the german Autobahn, every day and on full throttle all the time. With the 75hp engine it goes about 170km/h, downhill 190km/h at about 5500 RPM in 5th gear. But unless you're german that won't matter anyway. So yea, that kinda speed and the high revs are pretty stressfull for all components and lead to very high wear. Still no broken parts or anything, like absolutely nothing. The engine is really nice and smooth to drive, since it doesn't have a turbo. Didn't make any problems yet. Even with only 75hp it's a lot of fun. The manual transmission is perfect for most situations, shifting is like in the MX-5, very direct. I also consider buying a new Mazda6 some time. Especially because of the turboless engines, cause they are so much nicer to drive. Sorry if the kilometers and km/h confuse you.

      ​@Olivier Lacaille My uncle has Mazdas for almost 30 years, five of them. Never had any malfunction, breakdown or anything but regular servicing. Great cars, with some spirit you won't find in VW or Audi. It is almost like marriage of VW's reliability and Alfa Romeo's passion. And nothing less premium than VW !

    • @FrejrNA
      @FrejrNA 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      ​@AmnesiaOnAPoney Absolutely agree, it's really nimble. Fast driving in the city, corners or curvy roads are a damn lot of fun. That 1.3 MZR is a pretty traditional petrol engine - no turbocharger and manifold injection. That of course means that it only really got it's power at high RPMs. I think at 3500 max torque, at 6000 max HP. But that's what makes it so much fun. When you shift down to get above 3000 RPM it's super responsive, you don't have to wait for a turbo to power up. Engine sound is pretty damn sweet as well, something you don't get with direct injection anymore. The engine in combination with the very sporty and direct steering and sporty suspension is just way more fun than you would expect from such a car.
      And yea, there isn't really anything fast about the 75HP and 119Nm. Quick enough I'd say, but you gotta shift down to accelerate properly. Don't expect to get anywhere when going full throttle in 5th gear at 1500 RPM. When I want that I got a 3 liter V6 Diesel to drive. Much less sporty car, but much more powerful and faster obviously.
      The engines in the new models are all 1.5l, the 75 HP one therefore has more torque than the 75 HP 1.3 MZR. So should be a bit more powerful at lower RPMs, not much though I'd say. They also have direct injection, so the traditional petrol engine feel and sound might be a bit diminished.

    I drive a 2015 then-facelift version of Mazda 6. I think its an underrated car because its such a gd looking saloon (prob the best in class) with generous standard equipment, decent interior design and build quality, user-friendly infotainment system / air-con knot, engaging driving experience (for FWD) - all come in a competitive price. I prefer the ‘old’ front grille design on my car though.

    The Mazda automatic IS one of the better automatics. Only someone comparing nothing but the number of gears would say different. In reality the number of gears says absolutely nothing about the quality of an automatic and how well it works and behaves. More gears only exist for offcial fuel economy reasons and often make the driving experience worse, not better.

      I suppose it's because the 6 is more squarely aimed at the Insignia and Mondeo, ie the large family car bracket. In that sector, the hatchback format is most popular, because people want an everyday practical workhorse that's good for the IKEA run. The 3 Series/A4 are in the executive saloon bracket, which is a notch above, and family practicality is not as much of a priority.

Because most of my daily commute is on the motorway a diesel (at least for the next 7-8 years) is the obvious choice. Not a big fan of hybrids or electrics (until I have to!) Very seriously considering these cars as my next car. I was getting pulled into thinking I needed one of the big germen branded cars. But these mazdas are fanatastic. Your getting excellent car with all the extras for ur money on the used market. A real bang for your buck.
