You know, Chris, I have to admit, as a giant car geek, it is refreshing to watch a review from someone who isn't an enthusiast. It's interesting to see a review from a different perspective.
ustolemycrumb16 - Thank you!
I understand you are not a car person, but this is one of the most efficient regular-gas-mid-size sedans in the market, you might not realize it since you are used to hybrids and compacts, but once you compare it to other mid size cars (accord, passat, camry, optima, etc..) then you will appreciate the amazing mazda's skyactiv gas efficiency, other than that, great review
Chris, I love this car review! The format is clean, offering a refreshing take from other reviews of cars. The inserted cut scenes during the stationary in-car review are visually helpful of the info you're relaying at that point in the video. I especially like this review because I didn't know just how "teched out" Mazda had become - this coming from someone whose girlfriend drives a Mazda! The honest review begets honest responses and in kind, kind feedback. Thank you for your efforts, I Like this and every energy you give to the community. On to the next! Side note: call me crazy but my interpretation of the end music sounds like a great variation of an 80s song by a then-popular rock group. :-)
Just got my mazda 6 yesterday thanks on your review.. Lovin it!!!
Great review! Just ordered one so your comments are very re assuring. Thanks
Its refreshing to hear a review from someone whos not fully emersed in the car industry, whether thats a good thing or bad thing, its hard to say but i enjoyed your outlook very much.
Great to see a Pirillo car review!
I love your car reviews!!! Looking forward to the hyandai genisis luxury and kia van from the vlogs. Informative from a buyers perpective. REALLY ENJOY THEM.
DJKiDDKlashez - Genesis goes up today!
Chris by the end of the year. YOU are going to be a car guy.
Great review for not usually doing car reviews!
Your car vlogs are lucrative and useful Chris. Enjoy watching. Request a motorcycle test next!
Nice improvement over the first official car review :) Good job Chris
I bought this car a week after it came out and it feels really good that I was the first one to buy it. I haven't seen a 2016 model yet in the freeway or streets. The only Mazda i really like is the rx7 but this car just change my perspective of what Mazda is really about. I'm just waiting for hypertech tuner to come out. I'm already looking to get magnaflow cat back exhaust, and a typhoon intake to put some serious torque numbers with such little money spend. I read here on the comments that people like this car but won't buy it cause of the v6 it doesn't have. This car don't need a v6 it needs three things I just said above and there is no way you would want a v6 after the upgrades.
Thanks for a great review...previously leased a 2010 Mazda6 and stepped up to a 2014 Mazda6/GT and love it even more...agree about the MPG. They've made some nice improvements in the 2016. My lease is up next summer and I think I'll go with the CX-5 which is the crossover version of this vehicle...good job.
Awesome review, Chris! FYI, you can adjust the HUD brightness and position in the vehicle settings which you access through the infotainment system. Looking forward to more reviews!
louie8390 - Thanks!
I miss this car! I like the format of this review, too :))
Awesome review! I'm very interested in the Mazda 6 & 3. You completely sold me on the 6!
Shaun Fenton - That's great!
Thank You for a very informative & in-depth review!! I have been driving a Mazda 3i that I bought from my daughter 2 years ago- it's a 2008 model & honestly I haven't had a new car in a long time but I had taken mine to the car dealership to fix a couple of recalls, so they gave me a loaner- it's a 2016 Mazda 3 & I must say, I was throughly impressed - I know you were reviewing the Mazda 6, not the 3, but many of the features are the same & after driving it for a few days, I am seriously considering trading mine in & actually moving up in the world with a new car- Ha!! My daughter keeps saying I need to check out the Mazda 6 before I make up my mind but I live alone & rarely have passengers so I don't see a reason why I should pay more just for a larger car if the compact one has everything I need &/or want. I def agree with you r/e the comment you made about the radar feature- when you said once you drive with it, you can't live without it or something to that effect. I followed some friends of mine on a drive (about an hour) to dinner- they were on their motorcycles & they always take the backroads - I tried out the radar feature on the cruise control & man, what a difference it was not to have to keep adjusting my speed - I just let the car do it for me!! It was Awesome!! Also, I realized on the way home that the lights (besides being LED) actually followed the road as I turned or went around corners- what a great safety feature!! The more I drove it, the more I kept saying & feeling like Who thought of all this stuff??!! What a difference the features made!! Anyway, sorry this is so long, just wanted to say Thank-You mainly!! LOL
Really like this series! Great job!
***** - Thanks! It's something new for me, and we're enjoying it so far!
Out of the many car reviews, IMO this one's is the coolest. Its got a great streamline look and its similar to James Bond's Austin Martin car!
Pirillo does car reviews now? Man this guy keeps finding ways for re-subbing to him :p if this keeps up I'll stay subbed :)
the first couple fill-ups in my mazda6 I was disappointed in my MPG. Then things got much better averaging 35mph in a mixed environment now. I think it is very solid for such a large car.
thanks for the review
Liked your perspective! I’ve been considering the Mazda 6, just haven’t pulled the trigger. Thanks for the “real” review.
This is a MUCH better review than what those so-called "car-guys" give.
Looks pretty standard to me except the heads up display. Thanks for the review
You deserve 100,000,000 subs!
Best car in its class and above! Been driving my new mazda6 for the last 2 weeks!! Perfect!! The same color too!! Titanium Flesh!!
I've always wanted to do in depth car reviews!!!
I really wish you guys chose the standard or the middle tier versions for you car reviews. Choosing the best in class versions of cars may give the viewers unrealistic expectations considering not everyone buys those top trims.
Just a thought :)
+Omer Mukhtar - I reviewed what was given to me to review 🤓
agreed :)
You can adjust the heads up display with the infotainment system to move it.
I drive a Mazda CX-5 and love it!
If you haven't already a good option similar to the mazada6 is the Ford Fusion, which has a regular motor, or a hybrid and electric option if that is what you fancy
Perfect, unbiased review! Refreshing compared to videos from magazines and 'experts', who are biased and lean towards certain brands. Shame that you can't review cars sold in Europe, but i'll keep an eye out for any cars we have in common. Thanks!
+Tawhid Ahmed Mazda6 is sold in Europe, I just got it, and its stunning!
Yep, i live in the UK and the Mazda 6 is amazing here too! The only problem is is that the brand isn't as well established as it should be, so parts and dealers are hard to get to.
Hey Chris please review the Mazda 3 hatchback or Mazda CX-5 or both!
Another good car to review is Acura RDX. I think your reviews are getting better.
it is a great car. i made test drive few days ago in top spec 6. in this class, for that amount of money it is just awesome!
Good, honest, review. Subscribed!
+Gerald's Videos - Welcome!
i just bought this car yesterday and its a good car depends on how you drive weather the mpg works i maxed it out to 49-55 mpg
Not looking for a new vehicle---I am also one of those that if my old car takes me from A to B no need to replace, but nonetheless I enjoined review and will recommend for those looking into buying a car and don't know where to start. ... Great job Sir.
Great car review.
Beautiful mid range sedan. Mazda is really doing not just the right thing but they are making a car that most people will love to drive it with total comfort and safety.
It IS refreshing to hear a non car nut reviewing cars... A better approach for a change. Thanks.
Get your hands on a 2015 Honda Fit EX! I'm between this and the Fit. The Honda is definitely within my budget but the Mazda's classiness and overall better build quality is so tempting.
I'd love to see your take on the Fit!
I have a 2012 Mazda 6, this makes me want a '16 now.
Thanks Chris... well done. It is good to get reviews from a "Non Car-guy", because we (the general car-buying public), are just that. We want to know, what we get...what we really need...and what we can do without. I've owned Mazda cars... and my experience with them was not the best, for the following reasons: Underpowered...as in weak engines for the car. This car, I believe has a 2.5 Liter engine...and based on my research it takes 8 seconds; to go from 0 to 60 MPH. With 4 adults in the car... probably longer. Mazda... put a more powerful engine, at least a 3.0 liter. Also... Mazdas are known for water leaking into their foglights... CD players that skip... and other "gremlins" that detract from the beauty of their cars. In short...lease..don't buy, based on my ownership experience.
Hi Chris, thanks for efforts . I am going to buy one but I am worried about noise inside, I heard it is not good, is it correct ? If yes how much db and in comparison with Camry and accord what the difference concerning noise inside the cabinet
Good review, well said.
this is our third Mazda 6.................love our 2016 Mazda 6
Oops, I forgot to ask if you had any experience with the Smart Brake Support (automatic braking to avoid a collision) or the automatic high beams/low beams.
Hi Chris what is the Mazda 6 like to drive is a very good on fuel I am thinking of getting it in October
How was the ride quality? was it smooth or kinda rigid or a floater going down the highway? Great review
Pretty good review. In Saudi Arabia Mazda 6 is way cheapper than the US. The standard option is for about $18k, and the full option,the top one,is for about $26k. I have already booked one, and I am gonna have it this week. BTW I really like the color you have, unfortunately, I chose it as my second choice after the pearly white. The reason is because the city I am living in is quite a bit desert, so I don't wanna bother myself cleaning the dust.
I am trading in my Hemi Challenger R/T 6 speed for this car. I too am tired of shifting, tired of loud engine rumble, tired of people staring at my car, tired of $50 paid each time I stop at the pump, tired of the jerky ride, tired of all those close misses since I cannot see anything when backing up. It was fun for a number of years but now I just want a nice family sedan.
My wife has a CX5 and it is awesome, do not care so much for the sound system or the GPS but it is light on its toes and although it doesn't have a lot of HP, it seems to be a joy to drive. The 2016 Mazda 6 was like that but a bit more sporty and comfy for my daily commute. Now I can pass cops without them staring at me waiting for me to do something wrong.
One thing you might think about doing Chris, is record with the camera on the dash while you are going down the road to test how quiet the car is, wind noise, road noise etc.. when you do a review. Other than that I don't really think there needs to be anything else added to your reviews.
WaybackTECH - we cover a bit of that in the vlogs, but I'll see about the next review :)
Mazda makes great cars. I think for me, being I like a sporty car, I would be looking at either this or the new Nissan Maxima.
when will your review of the mitsubishi outlander / asx come out chris? thanks
great review!!!
masonbass360 - Thanks, Mason!
Like you said mazda was never on my radar....until recently when I started looking to purchase a car. I rented a 2015 mazda 6 touring for week to drive from dealership to dealership then it hit me *I really like this car* needless to say I found a really good deal on a 2010 mazda6 grand touring v6 3.7l fully loaded a lot things in this 2016 is my 2010 and I freaking love it
DRU ZOD - Glad you tried it out! I'm learning a lot with these cars!
One of the cool tech items you missed is the rain sensing wipers. Very cool option to have in Seattle (usually only found on high end cars). Otherwise, great review!
mcshaken - it hasn't been Seattle enough in Seattle!
You should review the 2015 Buick Regal! I personally love the car!
How does it handle when driving? Speed sensitive steering?
I have a 2007 MAZDA6 and it is the best handling car I have every owned. It is low on power, but with a manual and its light weight, it's great. It is so balanced it just zips around corners and stops on a dime. Mazda really engineers wondrous handling into their cars.
Really loved then new B-Roll
Wamfox - Jon Prosser of ***** has been doing some great editing!
Won't get the good gas mileage until you get at least 3000 miles and have the AC turned off. I get 38 MPG driving to work in the morning. On avg abt 30 MPG.
Also, my fav feature is the rear cross lane traffic alert. You can back out of a parking spot between two SUV's and be alerted to pedestrians and oncoming traffic before you can even see them
Yes yes yes!! I love this car!
Nice review! Hope you get to review a Subaru.
Hey Chris! I've watched your stuff since Call For Help, have you thought about going on The New Screen Savers?
Kyle Hudgins - I'm doing my own thing over on LockerGnome's Geek Lifestyles, but everything is an option :)
I guess best in class fuel economy isn't enough when you're used to hybrids 💁
Have you seen this car in the vlogs?
Yeah
What features are most important for you?
Our new 2015 Volkswagon Jetta's turbo charged motor!
Tracy Lustick I had a 2009/10 model loved it i miss it now, make sure you regularly check the oil the turbo motors tend to use a bit.
Ok great! Thanks for the info 😉
My Husband still can't grasp the concept.
LockerGnome's Geek Lifestyles Manual readability for the average consumer!
You are amazing man
+Waleed AL-Helyani - Thanks!
Interesting that you say that you wanted better MPG. It's my understanding that this car is one of the most fuel efficient gasoline non hybrid mid sized sedans you can get. Nice review though. Oh and BTW as someone that likes driving...flappy paddles will never be as fun as a good ole manual transmission with three pedals!
I love mine! :)
it's classy, yet functional and not overly complicated, plus I don't have to swim thru 5000 of them in a Wal-Mart parking lot and use a finder app, lol. It drives well, and you don't have to spend your life savings to get safety and tech features. Very honest and decent review, thanks.
Not sure what gas mileage you got but I'm averaging 30.5 to 31 with 50% mixed driving, with using a/c. That's not bad for a midsize sedan, and I'm heavy footed ;)
I thought you only review digital products, never thought you will review a car! ^_^
Leon Liu - I review everything! :)
you get cars for reviews now?
randomrazr - it's something I'm working on, yes :)
You're amazing
What about "non-import" reviews?
Review an Audi. They're amazing, I love my S5 convertible
I love this car :)
Wait I might or might not be pretty drunk and I might have missed it.. But does this car have a rear view camera?
what version of the car is this one?
+Titi Dequeker Top of the line Grand Touring with Tech Package.
You probably think most cars are long because you are used to driving compact cars :) If you think that car is long check out the Jaguar XJ long wheel base version!
Based on this review I may trade in my horse and buggy, but then I would have to leave my Amish paradise.
What camera are you using? And are you using a different mic or built-in mic?
+Kim “iKIMshuffle” Reuel - Check the description :)
+Chris Pirillo sorry I'm dumb. LoL so you're using iPad mini. So is just mount and lenses and your mic is the one built-in on the iPad?
+Kim “iKIMshuffle” Reuel - Our vlog camera! go.tagjag.com/hdhat
+Chris Pirelli Which one? Oh man. So sorry. Thanks so much for all the response though
+Kim “iKIMshuffle” Reuel - The Complete Real Estate Kit :)
Why did you go for the KIA instead? Surely this was a much better choice?
The gimmicky tech features like HUD and lane assist are not really optimized according to TFL Car and Everyman Driver. So I wouldn't buy the 2016 Mazda 6.
Also the cheap, tacky interior plastics really look odd in the 2016 Mazda 6.
And where are the options for turbo and AWD?
This is why Mazda only has 2% market share in the US auto market.
Motorenwerke.de Mazda's market share fell from 6% to 2% within a decade.
It's one of the least reliable car brands you can buy.
Motorenwerke.de The biggest disappointment is that Mazda still hasn't solved the rusting problems with its painting finishes. And also the easily breaking sunglass holders and faulty power windows... these are all problems that are still found in the recent Mazda models.
Mazda cheaped out with their interiors again.
Joshua Pirelli I'm not a fan of Mazda's transmissions either. They're unreliable trash.
James Allen I think Mazda is worst Asian brand... so many problems!
James Allen I thought GM was the worst, but Mazda is even more garbage.
Go check out the 2015 JD Power Vehicle Quality study. Mazda, Fiat and Subaru make the lowest quality and most unreliable cars in the industry.
And the biggest disappointments with the 2016 Mazda 6:
- Poor fuel economy. Everyman Driver and TFL Car only got 26MPG out of this car. That's below average for this segment.
- Underpowered engine.
- No AWD powertrain option.
This is why Mazda is ranked only 10th in the US.
MilanoFootball Mazda is the worst when it comes to premature rusting problems. Their paint finish quality is the worst out of all automakers.
Stefan Schmidt Mazda is making low quality and unreliable cars recently. Don't know why they're adding all the gimmicky tech when they can't even figure out their poor fuel economy and transmission problems.
Shirazi All these reliability problems from Mazda isn't surprising. Mazda is a tiny automaker, about a third of the size of Kia Motors.
Mazda will continue to make unreliable trash due to their small size.
MilanoFootball Car and Driver has 2 Mazdas on its 10 best list. You can list negatives of ANY car they compete with. All about preference. This is a nice car IMO. Alot to offer.
MilanoFootball Don't refer to a study without bothering to read it. The worst three (according to YOUR source) are Fiat, Land Rover, and Jeep. Mazda was ranked in this study ahead of Hyundai, Volkswagen, Volvo, BMW, Kia, and Infiniti.
And this thread is suspiciously similar to ones that appear on all Mazda reviews: someone points to the JD Power study, and then three other people (on the same day) chime in with the ridiculous paint quality accusation, something about gimmicky tech, and another about the small company size. Obviously you are shilling something.
Mad because the new Mazda 6 interior embarrasses the cheap painted plastic buttons of your Korean cars?
Great review, but could you possibly take the car for a spin in the next review? thanks!
Dimitri Kaye - That's what the vlogs are for! :) Pirillo Vlogs th-cam.com/users/pirillovlogs
Aight my b, you'll soon get another subscriber.
The nav system is only toch when your not driving, you cant use toch when driving ,
Make this ride a V6, and it would be...just about perfect.
If you think that's long, try a Suburban
mpg is great far as I'm concerned
Looks like you got the Mazda 6 Grand touring with all features. If I remember it is almost or is a 50k car. >.< My dream car.
We didn't get a Mazda for our family car :)
We just got one and it is nowhere near 50K. The Grand Touring has everything you need and its MSRP is $33K. We paid $29K for our Mazda 6 GT. Even if we were to add the iEloop package, it would have been $2-$3K more.
I live in florida. I did a search in their inventory. The have a pdf of all the features and packages and optionals you can get for the car minus the sun roof and home link rear view mirror. The pricing was reaching a little over 40k not including dealer fees, destination fees, or if your are financing the interest rates and stuff. Some of the stuff he listed like the heated seat or memory seating was not even listed in that pdf file. So to truly Have everything is why I said 50k. I don't know what state you live in but I think that may be a factor as well. Nothing is cheap in florida if you want quality T.T *sniff*
I would love to see this "pdf" of which you speak. The Grand Touring *with* the Tech Package comes nowhere near $40K MSRP. Whomever is selling it for that amount is a con artist. I priced this vehicle in West Palm Beach for my in-laws. $30K plus tax, title, and reg. Unless your taxes are $10K, again, this vehicle doesn't come close to $40K.
+Anthony Mendez where should I send it to?
You're right. You don't do car reviews.
First time viewer, but damn, this guy looks like the twin brother of Vinny Guadagnino from MTV's "Jersey Shore."
+ÄmbientIsTheName - Now THAT is a first! I normally get Rick Moranis or JJ Abrams :)
it's called the Head up Display, man.
I think you would like to drive a mazda rx7 ;)
make sure you don't get hooked bro ....its addictive
dude were you high
Man, that car is a dust magnet.
