Recently got a Deep Crystal Blue Mazda 6 for my daily driver. Absolutely love it. I checked out all the mid sized sedans in the $30k and under and the 6 wins hands down. Amazing car. Wish you had of shown the 2016 white interior though. It looks amazing.
Hi. I just bought a Mazda 6 2015 in South Africa.Great discounts available this time of year. Mid- trim Level equivalent I think. What I got was 2.5 with I-ELOOP, I-STOP, full leather interior, sunroof, parking sensors front and rear no camera though. Got standard cruise control, climate control. No BSM, AFS that only available on the top model. Interior the same otherwise. Brand new car, pre facelift version so old infotainment system, no nav but don't mind price equivalent $ 21 000. Think it's a good deal ? Thanks for the videos btw, great way to get to know a car. Take care
I decided to get the 2015 instead of the 2016 Mazda 6 because all Mazda did was get the Mazda 3 interior and put it on the 6. All that extra chrome wasn't necessary for me.
oh wait haha I see it now, it does comes on both U.S and Canadian models, Thanks Lisa! I like your videos. You do a good job as this person in Santa Maria, California who does videos on Hondas
Greetings from the States! Great videos. A few questions. Are the power windows auto up/down? Is the heated rear seats option unique to Canada? Does the 2016 model have memory seats? Can you please do a quick night time video comparing the LED headlights vs the HID headlights and other night time things like general cabin illumination and the active driving display? Thank you. These videos are very much appreciated.
carreraenzo90 Power windows are auto. We do have a different packages here in Canada yes. Rear heated seats are part of that and the GT models have memory seating. I have the video, haven't edited it yet. Soon.... :)
The lights are at least 2x as bright in the 2016 from the 2014, lol, both inside and out. They also have a bluish undertone. You can adjust the brightness of the active display too. Overall the 2016 is greatly improved over the 2014. :) it handles better, sounds quieter, and looks much nicer. I went for an oil change with my (ironically, meteor gray) 2014, saw this on the floor, and was like oh hell yes, upgrade!
BklynBabe I'm not sure if your username implies your location, but I am from NYC myself. If you are from the area, do you recommend any particular dealerships? Mazda is pretty scarce around here, and I am a pretty rough guy when it comes to negotiations - don't want to burn any bridges with dealers that like to take advantage. If you don't mind me asking, are you leasing or did you buy the 6? You got the grand touring? How do those beautiful rims handle our crappy pothole ridden streets?
carreraenzo90 I actually live in NC now, but I did drive my 2014 in NYC last year and it did very well on those roads. And down south roads aren't much better anyway, lol. The 2016 handles even better! I do have the GT and love it.
+CarLadyLisa Mazda is really generous with their trims! I shall assume the center console is changed for all trims as well. I hope to get this car within the year, it's just so nice!
I'm new to Mazda and looking to buy a 2015 modified mazda 6 karavan 2.2l skyactive, 6 gear manual. I would like to find some quality information on it and how it stacks up after 200k km and also maintanance costs in that range. Thank you to anyone who replys
David, All of the 2016 GT models sold in the US have the heads up display. It shows speed, cruise control info, and limited nav info as well. I have finally started getting used to it since im so used to looking at the regular speedometer!! Still irritated about the lack of rear seat heaters :( grrrr, but I got the beautiful meteor grey exterior, so take that Lisa!!! hehehehe
Good video. I'm a Atenza 2014 owner in China. The 2016 version (maybe) will be introduced next year in China. I love the new interior. It seems you missed the light under the grill. I really want to see that the light in night.
Lin Gordon Agreed. I did do a video on the Grill Illumination but it was in the showroom at night. I'm going to do another specifically on that as well outside. I like your thinking. :)
I really like the look of Mazda but how do they perform long term? do they match the reliability of a honda accord or toyota camry? I'm one of those people that likes to use my cars for a long time.
juss7111 Yes. Take care of it & it will be good to you. This generation is even better than the last. In 2014 Mazda switched production of the Mazda6 to Japan. This came after Ford sold it's stake in the company so it is no longer built in the States. It gives me even more confidence in this vehicle's reliability.
I had my 2003 6 for 10 y, 150k miles, and it was very reliable! :) I really didn't have any problems until the last year, probably because I was beating on it at 30k that year. I had the 2014 6, but I beat on it for 2 years for 75k, and had no problems. I have the 2016 6, and I would say it is the best car out of all of them, and I plan to take it to at least 10 years, unless Mazda keeps playing these how to make more amazing cars games, lol. However I just saw a Protege the other day and it looked immaculate!!!! I have seen quite a few Proteges that must be about 20 years and look flawless :) not so many 323, 626 or Millennia though.
nice review. I like how you added stations to your favorites. Only video on TH-cam that shows that. Good job. Also do you realize your voice goes up towards the majority of your sentences. Kinda like your not sure. lol
i took this car out for a test drive today. Now im just trying to decide if i want the GT or the Touring trim with tech package. BTW the base model has a 6 speaker system. Are they Bose speakers as well ? How do they sound comparative to the 11 speaker setup ?
Sjrick The base system is not bad but the bose is optimized specifically for the cabin size so def better. If you are a music lover you'll notice. If you are a talk radio kinda person, it won't matter.
I just got back again today from the dealer and listed to the base model speakers. You are correct, they really arent that bad sound wise, but that extra sub kick the 11 speaker gives you is amazing. Now its just choosing the color i want. Ive never seen an auto maker with such awesome colors. There isnt a bad choice in the bunch, Decisions Decisions !!
Hello how are you very good CarLadyLisa your video greetings. We wanted to make a query. I just deliver a Mazda 6 2016 equipped more here in Peru. But unlike the 2015 model does not have the button "AFS OFF" I would like to know how I can activate this system in the car. When I turn the car lights and the lights are on automatic only up and down but as active to go to the sides when one is conduciento and rotate with the wheel. I hope you can help me. Thank you very much. Regards. Joaquin Jordan. Hola CarLadyLisa como estas muy bueno tu video felicitaciones. Te queria hacer una consulta. Me acaban de entregar un Mazda 6 2016 el mas equipado aca en el Peru. Pero a diferencia del modelo 2015 no tiene el boton de "AFS OFF" Me gustaria saber como puedo activar este sistema en el auto. Cuando enciendo el auto y las luces estan en automatico la luces solo suben y bajan pero como las activo para que vayan a los costados cuando uno esta conduciento y giran con el volante. Espero me puedan ayudar. Muchas gracias. Saludos. Joaquín Jordán.
Hello, how are you. Thank you very much for data but can not find settings. Can you tell me where those functions are. They were previously on the steering wheel in the model 2014. But this model I can not enter the settings. I could help with that please. Thank you very much. For all. Regards. Joaquín Jordán
***** Oh okay that makes sense. I've watched a ton of reviews saying that the only way to control is through the HMI controller. Thanks for the info Lisa!
Hey Lisa, awesome video. Boo hoo, so sorry metallic grey isn't offered in Canada anymore :(. I suppose you will just have to look at those pics I sent you more often. HA HA. Also, heated seats in the rear and unlimited mileage warranty? Must only be in Canada because my car certainly does NOT have rear heated seats!! Still really love the red, but grey is awesome too!! Again, great video!!!!
although I'm getting my CX-5 next Wednesday, I love the new 6. Interior is so superb... Looking at it brings me some poem to my mind: Must do sex in Mazda Six ;)
Im with Adam G. ;) Dude, if you saw my black/espresso Interior of my 6, you'd be shittin you pants bro!! hehehehe. Send out some pics of your new CX-5!! Never driven one, but I am seeing more and more of them around my neck of the woods. Maybe word is catching on. A fun to drive SUV, What a concept!!! ha ha ha!! ;)
Recommend watching at 2x speed but this video is super helpful. Almost bought a used 2015 but opting for the 2016 instead. Thanks!
love all your reviews on the mazda cars colors and definitely the walk through of the interior and exterior😊
i JUST BOUGHT A 2016 MAZDA6 FULLY LOADED. IT IS TOTALLY AWESOME. PURCHASED FROM MAZDA IN MESQUITE TEXAS
Hows it holding up

Love your videos! Can you make a Video on the 2016 mazda6 regular i touring with the Tech package (boss + moon roof) please!
Mazda 6 2016 the best ^_^
>> From Saudi Arabia #'😘
both are great
that dash and infotainment system looks way better than the previous year
12:50 lol cd player "if you want to kick it old school" lol! I'm trying to say I'm old but I may have a couple CDs LOL

Jesus Osorio Wise choice, did you get a good discount on it?
Parker Steel I got the Touring model for $25,000 and they gave me $13,000 for my '13 Optima.
Hey Lisa! I have a question does the that digital display(11:34) that shows the speed, only come on the canadian model of the Mazda 6 2016?
David Machen I believe it does. One of my subscribers bought one, I can see it in the pictures. Perhaps he can confirm? Ethan Epstein
oh wait haha I see it now, it does comes on both U.S and Canadian models, Thanks Lisa! I like your videos. You do a good job as this person in Santa Maria, California who does videos on Hondas

By the way, the SEATS are gorgeous in the Mazda 6!!!
P.S. Tech package seems the way to go, excellent features!
Hi, does the 2016 sport and touring models receive the upgraded infotainment system or do they retain the old one? Love the comparison :)
+Bao Hoang They all have the new system
+CarLadyLisa Mazda is really generous with their trims! I shall assume the center console is changed for all trims as well. I hope to get this car within the year, it's just so nice!
That's correct Bao. Very nice details that make the car feel that much more luxurious.

I have finally started getting used to it since im so used to looking at the regular speedometer!! Still irritated about the lack of rear seat heaters :( grrrr, but I got the beautiful meteor grey exterior, so take that Lisa!!! hehehehe
Is(was) there any way to deactivate the heads up display on Mazda 6?
Love the review... great info. One minor issue. It's pronounced MAHZ-DAH, not MAAAZ-DAAA. Thanks.
She might be Canadian which explains the weird pronunciation
@@MossA-ox7ys Clearly Canadian; also, kilometers gives it away.
She's says the brand perfectly and not in the weird way Americans say it and Diesel :D .
No shit. You for real?

so i have the 2016 mazda 6 but how come mine is excatly as of the 2014 model? the same bottom bumper n everythinh
They only changed the bumper for the GT models.

CarLadyLisa Ignorant comment. What do you base it on?
The fact that Fords and Chevrolets have more major, minor, and critical repairs than any car made in Japan.
the color of interior is called SAND l love the color so much had to find what it is called.
nice review. I like how you added stations to your favorites. Only video on TH-cam that shows that. Good job. Also do you realize your voice goes up towards the majority of your sentences. Kinda like your not sure. lol

JORGE JOAQUIN JORDAN Now that we have MAZDA CONNECT & LED headlights, it's done through the SETTINGS Menu. They work when driving more than 2km/hr.

Any word about 2016 Mazda3?
XxLowellxX Not yet. The CX-3 is the next to arrive.
sick car, can't afford one till I'm old lol
+Bleu Ray Entertainment why don't you buy a second-hand ?
too much second hands lol
I bought a 2016 mazda GT with tech package but I dont have the heated rear seat...
Likely because you are in a different area. Features differ with countries. I believe in the US its not standard.
+CarLadyLisa you are right! I'm in the US and we don't have this feature available:(
wow that sucks, I heard the 2017 GT comes standard with heated rear seats
Mine in Ontario has them
thanks Carladylisa great car and beateufull
I wonder why the mazda connect display isnt a touch screen. The new cx-3 will have a touch screen. Weird.
etotherescue2010 It is touch. Touch screen doesn't work while driving for safety. This is why we have the HMI Commander knob and Voice controls.
***** Oh okay that makes sense. I've watched a ton of reviews saying that the only way to control is through the HMI controller. Thanks for the info Lisa!
Almond color seats in the 2015
Hey Lisa, awesome video. Boo hoo, so sorry metallic grey isn't offered in Canada anymore :(. I suppose you will just have to look at those pics I sent you more often. HA HA. Also, heated seats in the rear and unlimited mileage warranty? Must only be in Canada because my car certainly does NOT have rear heated seats!! Still really love the red, but grey is awesome too!! Again, great video!!!!
Ethan Epstein Thanks Ethan. You should have that package soon. Pictures are awesome!
u dont get pandora in canada? no apples with mazda? lol..well im cool with that.
+MrBuzzialdrin Ya no Pandora. I hear it's really cool too :-( You can use an Apple but the text function is run through Siri. The rest is all good.
although I'm getting my CX-5 next Wednesday, I love the new 6. Interior is so superb... Looking at it brings me some poem to my mind:
Must do sex
in
Mazda Six
;)
Adam G. OMFG lol
Im with Adam G. ;) Dude, if you saw my black/espresso Interior of my 6, you'd be shittin you pants bro!! hehehehe. Send out some pics of your new CX-5!! Never driven one, but I am seeing more and more of them around my neck of the woods. Maybe word is catching on. A fun to drive SUV, What a concept!!! ha ha ha!! ;)
