I just found you and as someone who knows nothing about cars but is in the process of a purchase you really taught me a lot. Thank you and I am going to view some of your other videos now!
I test drove the 2019 GT in Australia today. It's wierd when you look at it from a distance at the side, the car looks so long but when you get inside you don't see the length of it anymore. Such a nice drive though definitely getting one thanks for the vid!
Mazda 6 is arguably one of the most beautiful sedans in the market today. The turbo engine is amazing with 310 lb.-ft of torque (way down low starting at 1500 rpm) and helps to achieve remarkable fuel economy of up to 33~34 mpg with a 6-speed auto transmission. I wonder what the mpg will be if it is equipped with a 8 or 10 speed transmission.
Mazda doesnt throw away the baby with the bathwater. They keep things that have proven to work perfectly choosing wisely where to innovate. They kept things like the hvac controls, window controls, base engine, steering geometry, wheelbase, chassis, all the things that have lasted on prior models. I have a 6 that is 11 years old and all of these things have been extremely reliable. The manual mode is cool, forward down shift, back to upshift. Why everyone else does it wrong is beyond me. Maybe more companies have changed but i dont know.
@@TheNDex I just test drove the Mazda 6 (with the V6)...and it still felt weak. I ended up buying a Toyota Camry TRD yesterday. The Mazda's interior is much better than the Camry...but the Camry looks cool, very sporty (the Mazda looks more refined and elegant)...but the Camry is way faster. Depends on what you're looking for.
@@TheNDex Its not the best honestly, but I still love the car. I have the turbo engine, and I feel like my 2012 malibu has more power than this vehicle. The pros are the design and interior, has everything almost every luxury car has. Feels very premium. The cons are the engine, really slow 0-60 unless you press on the gas and blow your rpms.
Mazda makes such beautiful cars! I'm kind of surprised that this Mazda 6 does not out sell the Nissan Altima and Toyota Camry and Honda Accord! I think the Next Generation would be a big hit if they offered a sport trim with a 6-speed manual transmission and if they also offered all wheel drive. Great review!
Less space than the others. Buyers in the segment do not care about looks and will not switch loyalty because of a nicer interior. Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Subaru. It is hard for Mazda to stand out in this crowd even if it is a better driver's car. Nobody cares about how the car drives in this segment, unfortunately.
Nissan has many issues, avoid Nissan vehicles. Camry XSE is fantastic and Accord EX or higher Trim is good but relies too much on it's past history as Honda could do better. More people are into Hybrid for better gas mileage and AWD for better handling in rain and snow or on rough road surface plus towing a small trailer unit.
I just got mine 2020 touring with smoked rims beautiful dealer will give it tome on Monday total price for 2020 Mazda 6 $27,000.00 taxes and all included is a bad deal ??? advice
Does the Mazda 6 have that horrid stop/start feature? That would be a deal breaker for me. Even if it could be turned off, this feature usually comes on at next start up. I would always be going through menus to turn it off each time I get into the car.
I'm looking for a replacement for my 2009 Mazda 6 super quiet V6, but this isn't crazy different. I really wanted a slightly smaller car. But, the Mazda 3 is lacking the turbo and some of the fancy features of this 2020 6. I guess I'll wait and see if they come out with a turbo Mazda 3 in the Signature level, that would be my ideal car.
I almost got one last year. Then I saw the Kia Optima SLX and liked it much better. The dash area is really strange. The backup camera very grainy! Screen and car seemed dated and needs updating. I ended up with a loaded up BMW 330i for $80 per month more lease and it blows both cars away.
OK, pretty good review but you never answered the question in the title! My wife has a 2014 and honestly other than the addition of the turbo I don't see any difference....
The only thing that really changes is the LED front and rear headlights and the dash besides that same lol but the new 2021 model is suppose to be completely different
Why is Remote Start so uncommon with imports? The big thing I don't like about Mazda. I definitely wouldn't use a subscription-based remote start. It should be built in to the factory remote like many GMs
Well I can't speak on this car but I agree with this type of vehicle. My car actually change the car to the mode u got it in. Even sport+. Its much more better options for 30k
If u get the Mazdaspeed 3 or the Mazdaspeed 6. That was Mazda turbocharged line. As far as length of engine life its reduced compared to a Natural Aspirated engine. Meaning no turbos or supercharger on it. So this turbocharged engine would be good for your normal 100k mi driver on a vehicle and trade in...
Block Busterz ohh okay. Yeah i want a natural aspirated engine but i like stiff suspension, low to the ground, tight wheel cars. Im thinking of getting the 2019 mazda but it gotta have a stiff suspension
You're just going to say this engine makes 227 HP and not mention that is with regular unleaded fuel? If you put premium fuel in this engine puts out 250 hp. That's a pretty critical thing to let people know if they are considering buying it. I have this exact car, except mine is Grand Touring Reserve, but basically everything else is the same. So, yeah, try not to leave out information like this, thanks.
Looks beautiful. I plan on getting a Grand Touring 2020 model, and hopefully I can get it for around 28k. I've been debating whether or not to get this car or the Honda Accord, but Mazda has thoroughly impressed me.
@Wojak Feels oh I did say that you're right sorry I was using speech to text. but yes even still it wouldn't take much effort just to put that new screen on the dash with the new updated interface. I mean the Mazda 6 is supposed to be more upscale than the 3
2018 6 touring leather heads up blind spot adaptive cruise lane keep assist ... the car is amazing ! torque and power even without switching to sport mode--when you do switch to sport mode hold on because it flies. Oh back seats are heated and with usb really hot car for the $
It's nice. The 2020 has the long awaited 4 cylinder Turbo. Instead of 227hp now has 250hp. It really needed the boost in acceleration after a dead stop. The exterior body design has faulted as the 2017 year model really looked sharp and Sporty. The Info /Entertainment Display (back up, Nav, Stereo) should be larger as you had mentioned the 7 inch is doable or par. Actually, it would be much nicer to have the Display built into the console rather than sticking up above the dashboard like a Sore Thumb. Overall, Mazda 6 Sport and Touring Trims lack much to be desired until you get the Grand Touring with the 2.5T engine. I compared this to the Toyota Camry XSE which is really designed well. At the $30,000 range you come out ahead with Mazda 6 Grand Touring because of the 2.5T engine as the Toyota's engine stinks unless you opt for the Toyota's V6. Toyota Camry high end Trims with the V6 engine including their TDR model beats out Mazda 6 Grand Touring and Signature trims. When Ben was driving in this review, the Mazda 6 is still noisy, not as quiet as should be. You will need to goto Ziebart to get a good undercoating to eliminate more road noise. A shame on a new car you have to get it Sound Proofed. Honda Accord is excellent but they are even nosier than the Mazda or Toyota. Note: Toyota will show signs of rust in 5 year, Mazda about 6 to 7 years and Honda roughly 8 years. For unknown reasons, Mazda depreciates in price faster than Honda and Toyota. If you need a less expensive car than these 3 with a better Warranty, look into the Hyundai Sonata SEL at about $2,000 less. To get Heads Up Display (HUD) you need to get the very Top Trim with Toyota, Honda and Mazda. HUD really looks kool during evening and night time hours however, still too much glare for use during daylight hours. If you just need a car without comfort and not to spend a lot of money then get the Chevy Impala. If you want a Mazda but cannot afford the Mazda 6 then get the compact Mazda 3 which is still kool and awesome for a non-family/ single person. For tall people over 6' 2" get a SUV, Van, or Truck as not to cramp your style as need head and leg room or do you prefer having set the seat way back into the passenger area and leaned back as in slouching which is bad for your back, if you get into an accident the airbags will not protect you when so far away.

I'm watching all the old videos on 2018+ Mazda6 2.5Ts as I'm about to get a 2019 GT used. Sorry about all the horseshit in your comment section. I read more dumb shit than I think I ever have on car videos. My response to the highlights: •Engine will only last 100k - wrong. You might need a turbocharger between 100k and 150k but the 2.5 is a rock-solid unit and the tuning is really quite relaxed. •250HP on premium fuel only. It's 227HP on 87 octane and you still get the full 310lb-ft of torque down low. What's the complaint? This is basically every turbocharged vehicle on the market except lower-end ones in the compact segment. Just put in whatever you're happy with. It's not going to feel like a slug with that much torque. The Accord 2.0T is fast but has some reliability concerns with piston rings and turbos going bad prematurely. V6 Camry is way more expensive used. Take your pick. •"I get the same performance with an N/A model" that's a straight up lie and probably a boomer who only recently gave up a shitbox 1985 Caprice •Short shifts - quite literally the entire design of the drivetrain performance is to not have to redline it to get smooth, powerful acceleration. Buy something N/A if you want to wind it out. I just sold an MR2 Spyder and I'm glad to be going back to turbocharged. •A little slow off the line - on-purpose for torque converter and transmission longevity •Carbon build-up: Extremely blown out of proportion issue with GDI engines. Yes, it's better to have port injection alongside GDI to clean the valves. You can optionally get a GDI cleaning done later in the vehicle's life but understand that the VAST majority of car owners do not do that. They do the bare minimum maintenance and still get 200k out of a modern engine. The only real trouble you could create would be with mods, particularly something like a canned tune. I could have driven off a Lexus lot with a 2018 Accord 2.0T 6MT a few days ago but the clutch pedal engagement point was too high and the throw from 5th to 6th sucked ass. Not notchy at all, felt like Logitech could have made the gearbox. The V6 Camry is floppier maybe unless you get a TRD. They're all $5k more expensive or higher used. Skip that and get the same reliability and more refinement in the overall experience. Makes sense to me. There is NO perfect vehicle. You buy it with pros and cons. The 6 has almost always had far more pros than cons so buy the bastard already before the new inline 6 model come out!
I am so bored with my Mazda 6 Signature. I never need to wax it. I hardly have to go to the gas station. I hardly remember my dealer because the car seldom needs service. Because of this boredom, I find myself racing and beating other vehicles off the light. These include Mustangs, Camaros, Chargers, and 2 Harley motorcycles. I better be careful, I have been warned by the police to stop squeeling my tires racing these cars.
@@jamievidd775 Listen, power is not everything. I now have a Prius Hybrid and without trying, I beat most vehicles from the traffic light. How do I know? When they finally catch up to me a few blocks later, the ones who are angry give me the finger, or holler at me, or shoot by me 20 mph over the speed limit. I try not to go more then 5 over.
Aye I be CTFU at them 4 bangers. 30k is a waste of money for that crappy Ford vehicle. If they still merged together.... I got a 17 TLX fully loaded AWD for 28k. Honda or Toyota and Infiniti for me my friend....💯
@@blockbusterz2370Mazda made their only reliable vehicles like the focus or Rangers. Ford benefited from Mazda, not the other way around. Their own work is quite nice. Also they're the only sedan in their class strong enough to tow 3500 lbs on any trim.
Let us see. The Mazda 6 is very reliable, and its style is lovely. There is one change that is a negative change....the turbo. You don,t need the turbo for anyrhing and it cuts your gas mileage by 3 mpg. I have both a turbo and nonturbo and I have the same performance with both.
@@blockbusterz2370 To be honest, I'm fan of Toyota and Honda cars. I always had those cars. I just bought a 2018 Honda Civic hatchback EX,. But when it comes to Mazda cars and Kia or Hyundai, I Rather own Mazda.... BTW Kia stands for kill in Action.
william stevenson honestly give it a shot. BIG difference from last gen to the new gen. They really did a good job with the buttons, knobs, switches, just everything

No. Mazda stopped producing the Rotary in 2012 with the end of the RX-8. It could no longer pass emissions since a Rotary engine burns oil by design.

The 6 has almost always had far more pros than cons so buy the bastard already before the new inline 6 model come out!
I am so bored with my Mazda 6 Signature. I never need to wax it. I hardly have to go to the gas station. I hardly remember my dealer because the car seldom needs service. Because of this boredom, I find myself racing and beating other vehicles off the light. These include Mustangs, Camaros, Chargers, and 2 Harley motorcycles. I better be careful, I have been warned by the police to stop squeeling my tires racing these cars.
LOL. I have a ‘19 Camaro SS. While the Mazda 6 is nice, it would get annihilated.
@@jamievidd775 Listen, power is not everything. I now have a Prius Hybrid and without trying, I beat most vehicles from the traffic light. How do I know? When they finally catch up to me a few blocks later, the ones who are angry give me the finger, or holler at me, or shoot by me 20 mph over the speed limit. I try not to go more then 5 over.
This is a mazda 6 2018
Sad it don’t comes in AWD 🥺🤦🏾♂️
It does
For US!?!?!?
@@DrEvilToBe oh no it doesn't. My bad
Get rid of the tablet sticking up, get rid of the push button start, knock off two doors, shorten it by 7 inches, 2" off the width.
What’s new?
Kenny Frank Pascua nothing 🤣
I am waiting for 2025 to get my 2020 Mazda 6.
Why so long
Cesar Borunda Because I will be 17...
It'll be an inline 6 cylinder.
I love my 2015 m6, but god damn they haven't changed shit in 5 years.
That's because this is not a new model. The guy in the vid full of shit.
Sometimes you should hang on to your shit.
I want to trade in my 14' for this gorgeous girl
Its the same car, dont loose all that $$$ on sheet metal alone.
Is it worth trading in my 2018 malibu for one?
Tarri Boyd I would think so
Yes.
They offer these with a 360 hp V6 RWD too!
30k for a 4 banger with a turbo charger I don't think so...
Aye I be CTFU at them 4 bangers. 30k is a waste of money for that crappy Ford vehicle. If they still merged together.... I got a 17 TLX fully loaded AWD for 28k. Honda or Toyota and Infiniti for me my friend....💯
Block Busterz not ford engine since 2013
@@blockbusterz2370 Has no connection to Ford mon ami.
@@blockbusterz2370Mazda made their only reliable vehicles like the focus or Rangers. Ford benefited from Mazda, not the other way around. Their own work is quite nice. Also they're the only sedan in their class strong enough to tow 3500 lbs on any trim.
Let us see. The Mazda 6 is very reliable, and its style is lovely. There is one change that is a negative change....the turbo. You don,t need the turbo for anyrhing and it cuts your gas mileage by 3 mpg. I have both a turbo and nonturbo and I have the same performance with both.
That’s nonsense
No you don't.
hold on so that's a Grand Touring and it doesn't have heated rear seats? yikes
Won't this car get carbon build up
Like the mustang Ecoboost
All-new 2020 Mazda6??
Not all-new
Christ Its Fancy Almost A Chick Magnet
250 hp with premium fuel. How did u forget that
Can you still use regular unleaded fuel? Or you think that will mess the engine?
RmNaNtCbScRrN it won’t but will deliver only ~220 hp
Because it's a minus and he wants to sell it, not review it.
Are you on speed, try slowing down
it is not a 2020 mazda 6, it is a 2018. The 2019 has a digital speedo, and the 2017 has a different looking climate control.
This is the mid grade grand touring. The digital speedometer comes with the signature trim
I like Toyotas, Hondas and Mazda cars over Ford, which stands for Fix OR Repare Daily.. and Mazda cars are still better than Hyundai, Kia, and Ford.
I owned a 2006 Mazda 6 and got an acura and never looked back. Lls... Mazda is a good beginner driver or tuner car.
@@blockbusterz2370
To be honest, I'm fan of Toyota and Honda cars. I always had those cars. I just bought a 2018 Honda Civic hatchback EX,. But when it comes to Mazda cars and Kia or Hyundai, I Rather own Mazda.... BTW Kia stands for kill in Action.
@@blockbusterz2370 Whatever you say.

Luxury car feel? ...you don't get out much do you son?
william stevenson honestly give it a shot. BIG difference from last gen to the new gen. They really did a good job with the buttons, knobs, switches, just everything
Why tf are you rushing while talking? Smh
I only care about handling, speed, and stereo system.
ok, you really really really need to stop saying "really".
Ha ha :)
Anyone who buys an accord or Camry over this is delusional.
Piece of advice, stop talking while driving. Let viewers listen to the engine.
Maybe learn to spell “advice” first.
@@jamievidd775 pretty sure I know how to spell, but typos happen, right?
People complaining about the models looking the same... Look at how long Dodge has had the challenger and charger models?? So STFU and enjoy NO Mazda's greatness
Charles Wiliams you fell em muscle man! Hahahaa
copying the competition while cutting corners.... wanna be luxury instead of being true to its price point.. that is why Mazda is failing.
