  • Often times the best-selling model in a particular segment isn’t necessarily the best car. Case in point: the latest Mazda6 is a joy to drive, easy to look at, and offers a class-above feature set. Yet its sales figures pale in comparison to stalwarts like the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. Join KBB’s Zach Vlasuk to see if the recast Mazda6 is actually the flouted frontrunner among midsize sedans.

    If Mazda had a luxury division, their cars would be beautiful.

      They were about to launch a lux div back in the 90s when then ran into finanicial trouble and Ford took over control. The Millenia was the result of that car. To me that car still look beautiful to this day.

      They are trying to appeal to a slightly more upmarket client A new one is coming out in a month. They upgraded the leather, added more sound insulation. an the HUD is in color now.

      I own a base model 2009 and everything down to the smallest interior light still works. If not for the base model i would not be able to afford the car. Also i believe that the simplicity of mine just adds to the reliability. Never missed an oil change. With the oil cap off a quick look into the engine shows no wear at all. I did sparkplugs at 90k and they too appeared to have not worn either. Brakes will wear because the car is fun to drive :) i avoid bumps well and no cv or tierods replacement at over 100k.

    Got a 2015 one, its great. I genuinely get excited when I am walking up to it. It’s just absolutely gorgeous and it’s a hell of a lot of fun to drive. It handles sporty although I admit it is a bit slow which is why I’m glad they are giving the new ones a v6.

    I have to agree with most of the automotive driving critics like Kelly blue book who have hailed the 2016 Mazda 6, for being one of the best non-luxury midsize cars currently on the market. It is a great car all around. With it's smooth interior design and amazing road handling, I have become a big fan of this car.

      @letsgonow5641 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thats part of it. Another part of it is that since Kia moves more units they can give bigger discounts. Which is unfortunately how a good portion of Americans go by. The pricing structure of Mazda is such that unless they are running the somewhat rare for them promotion they cant give you too much off the sticker.

    I was reluctant when I bought my '15 Mazda6, but I love(d) the car for
    the year and a half that I had it. I have no complaints (and there has
    always been something about every other car that I have owned that I
    just did not like). Someone pulled in front of me and I hit them. It was
    a pretty bad crash totaling my car. Both myself and my passenger walked
    away. When the insurance company determined that it was a total loss I
    was driving the '16 Mazda6 off the lot the very next day. I don't know
    that I would purchase any other vehicle if Mazda continues on the path
    that they are on.

    • @BboyMobster
      @BboyMobster 8 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Agreed!! Maybe it's mine but it picks up and this is the first automatic car I've owned. Transmission is very smooth and knows what you want to do especially in sports mode. I feel like Mazda underrated the hp and torque numbers because it feels like it has more power.

      @Anthonyvo 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      +Bonnie Crawford I don't get the need for a V6 in this thing. We're a family of five and even uphill, with all of us on board, it delivers plenty of torque when needed to pass without ridiculous RPMs either. That's the beauty of the Skyactiv. Plus, we're happy with our MPG. A V6 would without a doubt decrease that. My 2 cents as a 2016 M6 GT owner.

      +Kwezzy Yeah, it's an odd comparison, but it's like when the Moto X came out and people were slamming it because it didn't have high-end phone specs. This car does more with less than other 4-cyl on the market. We'd definitely buy it again (we also own a Mazda 5 and, yes, that one feels underpowered with all of on board lol.)

    Lesson learned! Today I helped a lady load a outdoor umbrella into her Hundia , and was surprised the rear seats wouldn't go anywhere near flat, we had to struggle to slide the long 6x8 box to the front with one person at the front to lift the box as it would not slide up the back of the rear seat due to the high angle. A small price to pay for thicker rear seats. Mazda 6 seats fold down nearly flat but probably not a soft as the Hundyia .I recently rode 130 miles in the rear seat and it was acceptable but not plush. Still prefer the flat more open trunk space of the mazda

    I test drove a used 2016 Mazda 6 Sport. After the test drive, I looked at the salesman and said, "shutup and take my f'ing money!" Traded in my 2013 fully modded Subaru Impreza and never looked back. What a fun car! I really don't want to mod it either, because it's perfectly balanced with really nothing lacking. Yeah, I could mod it for more power, but this car feels great through the power band. Just pulls and pulls and pulls until it shifts. Couldn't ask for more in a daily driver!

    I have a 2009 mazda 6, it has been the lowest cost to own vehicle i have ever had. Its good for a 4' banger. Gas milage is great. Handling is just like a bmw. I like to hear my engine whem i am driving. Oil changes every 3k is critical. Very detailed engine, vvt is really nice but requires clean oil or it breaks. Car is paid for and still no signs of wear, outdoor kept amd paint is still nice...waxes only twice a year. Interior has been good. I put nice brake pads on after 60k on the car and drives better than when i bought it. Very impressed with this car.....also have a cx7 turbo....be careful what you wish for....that extra 70-90 hp come with a price and requires an understanding with your car that you are willing to pay big bucks to keep it maintained. Just like owning audi, porshe, bmw, mercedes, or any other turbocharged vehicle.

I don't under stand how it could eliminate the constant correction problem I have at speed(white line to white line). It's really wearing on a long trip. I suggest that mazda make a update for gen 3 or I recommend to not buy remaining 2016's and insure that the mazda you purchase has the newer vector control. If it is only software then they should make it available ,even at a price, which believe me would be worth it. I'm 73 an even I could recognize the problem

    HI, I have a question: I own a Mazda3 here in Colombia where services are recommended to be done every 5000 kilometers (3106 miles) which I think is waay too often! I want to know the maintainance in the United States. I found out in Canada is every 8000 mi which is12874 kilometers and when I made the conversion I was shocked, but I also noticed that the said maintainance is made to canadian driving conditions which made me wonder that check ups in Colombia are more often because of the poor quality of our streets... Anyway too much info for such a little info tip I wanna know. And yes im typing this in all KBB Mazda reviews :)

  • @sailorjohn2224
    @sailorjohn2224 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Getting ready for summer trip, wish I had got ac seats. I'm NOT looking forward to long highway trips as the steering has a balance problem requiring very small corrections that require more force I would expect. Tried Mazda service for an alignment , I'm not sure they even put on the rack, they reported THEIR MASTER MECHANIC drove it and it was normal. Once I enter a curve it feels fine but terrible on flat straight sections.

      You may be right, but most people think Toyota and Honda is more reliable. Most people will hold on to that belief, and make purchases based on that. It's the same reason why the aftermarket value is lower as well. It will take decades to built a reputation as good as Toyota's or Honda's in the non-car population.

    • @gracefullyrose

      You are correct. I was one of those people until I bought my '15 Mazda6. I loved the car, it handled well, was roomy, great on gas, very comfortable, and it looked great. I was involved in an accident and my car was totaled. I ended up in a '16 Mazda6 and I don't know that I would ever buy anything else.

    @swanblake 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great review as always guys. And the water bottle throwing had pin point accuracy. Mazda 6 is an amazing car. I think they need a top trim engine option. Same for the 3. I know people who i recommended both the 3 and 6 to who ask if it has a turbo. Keep in mind these are average shoppers not enthuist but want a fast car. They associate the word turbo with fast. This is why mazda needs to turbo the 2.0 and the 2.5 for their suv. I think if they dod that Americans would love the power numbers and choose this over a V6 Camry or Accord. Also i think Mazda is still a maturing brand and is slowly gaining momentum. As an enthusiast i love Mazda and hope they win the hearts of many and sales.

    • @Gregarproto
      @Gregarproto 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Blake Swan Part of the problem is they have fewer dealers so people might not see the name as much. Definitely deserves a test drive if there is a dealer nearby before saying "it doesn't have a turbo, it's not fast enough" though.

    • @swanblake
      @swanblake 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Gregarproto well i have drove one and it isnt as fast or even feel close to as fast as an accord v6 so im not sure what your point is. The Mazda 6 is not as fast as its competition. If you are talking handling i agree but power, no way.

    • @Gregarproto
      @Gregarproto 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Blake Swan You said you were talking about average shoppers. It is plenty fast for average shoppers, if they feel they absolutely must have a V6 or turbo then either theyre an enthusiast or theyre an aggressive driver with a lead foot.

    • @swanblake
      @swanblake 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Gregarproto oh fair enough. i was talking about the average consumer and after she tested the Accord she said the Mazda was too slow. Im just relaying what i heard. I personally think it needs a better top trim engine.

    • @Gregarproto
      @Gregarproto 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Blake Swan It definitely could. Especially with the price step up from Touring to GT. Maybe when they redo the V6 to be Skyactiv.

    @go4384 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I'm tempted by the Mazda 6 because I can get a 2016 right now for 19K which is quite a bit below MSRP, but I could also get a Civic EX for about the same. My eye is really on the V6 Accord which I can get for 26.6K which is a great deal considering the safety tech. For 7K more, I'm hard pressed just for some leather, a V6 and a few interior amenities. However, Honda is more reliable and will likely last me 20 years with the mileage I put on cars. Parts will be MUCH easier to find on a Honda than pretty much any other car except Toyotas.

    Obviously most of the power complaints are from those who have never driven the car or haven't put in sport mode and found the button at the bottom of the gas pedal. Very calm in normal(gas saving) driving mode but really wakes up in sport mode. Most reviewers seem to ignore this feature . Punch it at 20 mph and it will put a smile on your face

    so this, '16 Mazda6 Touring w/ 6M or '16 Honda Accord Sport w/ 6M? I'm drawn to the looks of the Mazda slightly more than the Honda, but which one is more engaging to drive between the two? Which one do you think has the better tech/radio package -- no nav for me; standard or upgraded stereo is fine. I guess the Mazda edges the Honda in available colors too. Honda only gives you 4 choices, but at least they give a true red, but on the other had no blues in sedan trim. Such a hard decision...

    • @dariuskelleydk
      @dariuskelleydk 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well if you go with the Mazda touring it's the highest trim so you get more car features, the sport is just more stylish with 19 inch alloy wheels but the accord rides so smooth it's like your floating , but I work for Honda but I might just have to say Mazda

    • @K03sport

They also added G-vectoring which improves the handling of the car. The 6 is a head turner. The Accord is just another Accord lost in the sea of Camrys and Accord.

If you get a 2017 you can get all of the goodies that come with the mid cycle refresh that my 2015 doesn't have. They are awesome, awesome cars. Especially with the 6-speed. It's so comfortable, and it's the best manual transmission I've ever had the pleasure of using. It handles like its on rails, has just enough power, and gets stupid good gas mileage to boot. I'm also 6'5" and have no issues fitting in it.

      @dajolaw 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +sic22l I own the new 6 and it is the quietest car I've driven. It should be noted that my previous experience is with compact cars (Honda Civic, Ford Escort, Ford Focus), so maybe people who've driven larger, "softer" cars notice it more. That said, I noticed no noise difference in back-to-back test drives with the Honda Accord, and a friend has a new-model Sonata that seems a bit louder. YMMV I guess.

    • @sic22l
      @sic22l 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      dajolaw It also depends how fast are you going. In the city every car is quitet. Mazdas get pretty lout at 70mph and more because of poor aerodyamics.

    • @dajolaw
      @dajolaw 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      sic22l See, again I'm just not seeing (or hearing) it. Yes, the wind gets noticeable at around 80mph (which is surprisingly easy to reach if I'm not watching myself), but I can't think of a car that doesn't at that speed. Again, I test drove the Accord at highway speeds and noticed little difference. I'm guessing people used to larger, cushier cars would view it negatively, but I don't.
