The reviews are really awesome and this one is top notch. If I may ask for someone needing to choose between this particular Mazda 6 or a BMW x1 or Mazda cx5 include a Toyota Allion too what would you advice and should one watcha out for.
Excellent work. Honest review. Even though , in my opinion, the European sedans take the lead here, the 6 looks like a decent alternative for those who fear the “jamaaz of Mark X” label.
I have had this car for the last one year. Its superb but one thing i don't like about it is the lights, head lights you really struggle driving at night. Its so dim even the full light is so dim
You're doing great reviews bro. How I wish you could display in real time comparative cars for instance Mazda6, Mark X and Nissana teana. In other news nissan si nissan.
1. Are the spares readily available? 2. Is there an Axela with a 2L engine? 3. Does the above (2) share the same engine 4. Kindly do a review on the Axela
1. Yes, spares are readily available. Some guys have had theirs for over 3 years and spares are much more common nowadays. Also, the three reknown mazda mechs can always source parts for you alongside getting them from CMC and Mazford (for OEM). 2 & 3. Yes, there are 2.0 petrol axelas (Mazda 3) around . Most engines in the Mazda lineup are shared esp amongst the axela, Atenza and the cx5.
I always comment on the camera man This is the best video so far he showed the vehicle so nice & longer for better view Great content as always This page is so informative
An underrated mid size sedan, offers a lot for the buck but when it comes to this Japanese midsize sedan category, the Subaru B4 is the leader because of the all wheel drive system, safety features and it's compactness on the road
Hello Eric you have film alot of videos but be specifically in toyotas category which car is the best that I can purchase .in kenyan market today .interms of mantainance,gear box,fuel consumption e.t.c please reply
An interesting review but having sampled mark x 2.5L v6 and mazda 2L I must say I prefer mark x. If you again go to top spec 2500cc turbo mazda it doesn't come anywhere near mark x 350s supercharger (both are rare). So comparing the lowest or highest specs of the two, x takes the day each time since that's the only fair comparison
Great review, I like how your reviews are always detailed. Anyway, I I have one question about this car because I am planning to buy one. Is there a hatchback Mazda 6/Atenza?
Mazda is always good in interior and thats why its my favourite car coz it combines both reliability and beautiful interior now the bose sound systems makes the cabin even more pleasing to be in
Good and reliable content, You should do review on Toyota Probox vs Nissan advan and Toyota Sienta. Feel like there is something special with the Nissan advan as a Kenyan commercial van
Before watching further, when it comes to dynamics, this Mazda is already at a disadvantage being front wheel drive, rear wheel drive trumps the fronts at every turn..
great Eric..... i like mazda atenza but station wagon is better for practicality . n please review Nissan teana despite the paradox ya" nissan n nissan tu"
This unit is from Singapore. The biggest giveaway is the name. If it was from Japan, it would have the Atenza badge/name at the back. Mazda sells this car in most other countries as the Mazda 6. If you are buying from Singapore, cars from there usually are of higher trim, so they will have stuff like leather seats, fog lights, sunroof(mostly). They will also have a number of mods but I have seen a number of dings and repairs(e.g. though they are classy, those rims have taken a beating). The Japanese have cleaner, well taken care of cars than Singapore.
Some differences to note: Japan models will mostly have more driving assistance features whilst the Singapore models will have more 'luxury features'. 1. Instrument cluster - Type B cluster is standard on most atenzas while lower trim 6's from Singapore will have type A clusters. Limitations of the type A cluster is that you have less configurable features and information. The major settings (auto wipers, auto lights sensitivity adjustment, door lock setting e.t.c) are in the Infotainment screen so you will think twice about upgrading your head unit. The type A cluster doesn't display much info and just general warnings (e.g if a door is unlocked, the standard general warning light will show vs the type B cluster which will show which particular door is open). 2. All auto windows, leather seats, parking sensors - common with even with lower trim 6 but not too common on lower trim atenzas. 3. LED DRLs - auto on most 6's and can't be switched off but I note a number of atenzas (even those with AFS) have them running only when the general running lights are on. 4. SCBS & RVM (Smart City Braking System) - easier to get even on a lower trim atenza but you have to upgrade to the higher trim 6 to get them 5. Spare tyre - not too common on the Atenza but very common on the 6; 6. Heated seats - much more common on the Atenza than the 6. 7. Full frequency radio in English - found on the 6, not available on the Atenza unless some language change is done. Some guys have managed to get the major cluster converted to English.
@@sottygodffrey4726 The 2018-2021 Honda Accord is the fastest and roomiest of the mid size sedans. It is also the one holding most tech, other than the Kia which has tech but is small and impractical.
@@sottygodffrey4726 Renting will not give you that holistic experience like the one looking forward to owning one could have.

For me the Madza stands out,but Accord is a real car.. no doubt
I drive mark x 2008 v6. This car feels luxury, looks baeutiful, very powerful, very smooth and firm on tarmarc road, very good and amplified music audio system, very low fuel consumption compared to its engine size( those who dont drive mark x actually dont know its fuel consumption- this car actually consumes around 15 km/l on highway). If you want to know its fuel consumption actually ask those who drive them! the car is cheap to buy. You will rarely get any problem with its engine and gear box. The routine service cost is cheap too. Its ground clearance is good too. The car suspension adjusts itself over road partholes. Each wheel acts on its own. If one wheel/tire falls into a parthole, the rest will not follow. This car clears its self over a bad road like a magician: you as a driver will never know how it does that. Mark x is a big sedan on small money and it competes with very expensive sedans. Toyota understans its customer very well.
I haven't seen anything about it that's better than an equivalent Mark X. The Mark X seems to beat it at everything, except maybe looks, but that's subjective. Or maybe I'm just biased. How does the ground clearance compare?
Nice & entertaining review👍🏽 Since it always has to be about the street cred and class and not about being happy with your ride then no other sedans can compare to the Mercedes E & C class series, BMW 2 series and Audi A series sedans, even a VW Passat is higher up the ranks in my opinion .. so in essence, just to point out there's always gonna be a better ride than yours💔😂
It's great you went to the mazda atenza please do a review on the lexus gs300-450 sedan its the same platform as the mark x crown n the c200 trust me it's a luxury on a budget
For sure am fully addicted to the "Alluring motor vehicle experience"

Mark X can't be compared to Mazda Atenza, even the beauty that X nation holds is on another level

Did you get a response for this? Tuko wengi
I have waited for the review for Atenza. My wait is finally over. Thank you
The Bose speakers are the icing on the cake for me.
Great work
Bose blows. I had to replace mine with infinity ♾
Mazda has not gotten it right when it comes to Music

Thank you do you think we follow up this with an Audi A6?
@@CARNVERSATIONS certainly will look forward to the review. The A6 is second on my wishlist for your reviews. You already did the first (the Tiguan).

This guy Wokabi is a genius. Am now getting full education about cars. Kumbe sikuwa najua kitu??
Baby steps, pole pole tu utaiva.
How is the Mazda Premacy by the way.. the 2000cc one ? Is it reliable?
Lemme wait for the feedback here, I am interested too.
Thank you Erick. I waited for this since forever. It's totally worth it 🙌🎉
Nice video. On the transmission, it's a 6 speed auto transmission. Mazda does not have a 7 speed auto transmission on its skyactive line up.

Fantastic review. I would love to see a Honda Accord review if you can get your hands on one. I have one but they are few and far between.
Good and reliable content,
You should do review on Toyota Probox vs Nissan advan and Toyota Sienta.
Feel like there is something special with the Nissan advan as a Kenyan commercial van
That was so educative..keep it up bro.
Still I will go for mark X 💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿
Good job 👏🏿
Quick question Wokabi Is this 2000 cc engine in mazda atenza the same as the 2000 cc one in mazda axela? Good review by the way.
Thank you for really great work.
Would you Please consider reviewing the Nissan Skyline 2014 too?
Awesome review. The Istop is not good for the car, especially for short distances. It harms the engine.
Hi Erick, how does one tell the difference between Atenza 2.2 diesel 150HP and 175HP?
Great job. The steering actually telescopes. I guess different trims come with different specs, but personally having a ball with the 2.2 variant.
how is the engine everyone is scaring me from getting the diesel, should I close my eyes and get it based on your experience.
@@kiharajon87 don't listen to people,, the diesel is fuel efficient,, I have had mine for 2 years now and it has 130000 km now
The content is amazing, thanks. So is there a way to keep or change to the the skyactiv diesel engine to make it last?
What's the location in the video? I'd love to go for a drive on that road and also go to that field where the video started
The road is the almost done Ngong suswa road as for the field it is top secret ... ha ha ha

Great review.. Eagerly waiting for a review on the 2015 Nissan skyline 200gt/infinity q50.. Tafadhali
please can you do a review on the toyota mark x preferably the old models.
I second this
Here we go, waiting for another alluring episode

Before watching further, when it comes to dynamics, this Mazda is already at a disadvantage being front wheel drive, rear wheel drive trumps the fronts at every turn..
Right Wheel Drive juuuu
At least you gave me a better understanding of vehicles. thank you
I like the diesel 2.2L because it's punchy that would compete very well with BMW 5 series or Merc E Series.
What do you know about the 2014 golf variant? Does it have the same problem as the previous model(the one with the super and turbo charger combo)
Please please please do a comparison between Toyota Prius amd Honda insight

A great and informative review of the Mazda 6. Kindly, do a review on Audi A3 Sportback and BMW X1 s28i.
I drive mark x 2008 v6. This car feels luxury, looks baeutiful, very powerful, very smooth and firm on tarmarc road, very good and amplified music audio system, very low fuel consumption compared to its engine size( those who dont drive mark x actually dont know its fuel consumption- this car actually consumes around 15 km/l on highway). If you want to know its fuel consumption actually ask those who drive them!
the car is cheap to buy. You will rarely get any problem with its engine and gear box. The routine service cost is cheap too.
Its ground clearance is good too. The car suspension adjusts itself over road partholes. Each wheel acts on its own. If one wheel/tire falls into a parthole, the rest will not follow. This car clears its self over a bad road like a magician: you as a driver will never know how it does that.

Hello loving your reviews.. kindly do one on Kia Optima, Its my dream car and I rarely see it on Kenyan roads
It's a good and reliable car. Shida ni spare parts ni ngumu kupata in Kenya and a lot of Kenyan mechanics don't know how to repair Kia cars
Hi Erick, nice job do all the latest Mazda's ie (demio, axela & atenza) come with an automatic transmission as opposed to a CVT one?
No mazda has cvt. All have automatic transmission.
Those wheels maan! What happens when it is fully loaded because I think the previous owner may have raised it higher than recommended?
Bro the manufacturer planned for all these contingencies. The springs are strong enough for dirs capacity
