- What can we say about the Mazda6 that hasn't already been said? After all, this 3rd-gen been around for about 12 years (yes, 12!) now. Whether you prefer it in sedan or wagon (Touring) flavours, the car barely looks, handles, or feels its age. It might have been ahead of its time, but time always catches up. And unfortunately, Mazda has yet to announce a true successor to continue to the bloodline, preferring to double down on new SUV models. What a shame.
The Mazda6 in Malaysia sits in that narrow cavern that separates the D-segment and the mid-size premium sedan, and when you sit in the car and go for a drive, that distinction blurs even more. Pliant and refined, but agile and responsive, this Mazda proves why it continues to tug at the heartstrings of so many enthusiasts.
Is this the curtain call? And does it justify its continued existence in showrooms when nearly every rival within Malaysia - the Nissan Teana, Volkswagen Passat, Ford Mondeo, Peugeot 508 - has walked away.
Now with the most recent departure of segment staple, the Honda Accord, there's only the Toyota Camry for the Mazda6 to do battle with (oh yeah, and the Volkswagen Arteon...).
Is it good enough?

I own the 2014 2.5 sedan. It drives so well for a 10 year old car on stock suspension setup. The power delivery from the NA 2.5 can be gradual, but it delivers some fun. Brakes were a major downside which can be resolved with aftermarket bbk's. Long journeys become fun with this ride.
The sedan looks like a Jaguar XJ in that colour and them grilles. Stunning
All it needs are a little more angular grill, a bigger infotainment screen and a slightly adjusted rear sugnature
If not for very aging model and Bermaz being kedekut not bringing Skyactiv-X. This would be a no brainer for D-Segment sedan.
2.2 TD or 2.5 TP not very good for long term reliability unless you're just leasing. Good vehicles though, nice review.
250k…hmmmmm
Oddly enough, the 2.0NA actually is a nicer drive...with a slightly smaller wheel it rides better as the 19' is a bit of an overkill on the 2.5..the 2.0 also revs nicer...where it falls a bit short is on highways ,overtaking is a bit fussy...overall, stupid pricing, I will defiantly consider a slightly used unit for ALOT less
yup.. 2.0 definitely rev nicer. Highway, i dont fell any issue with overtaking, just dont be afraid to press the accelerator. bought my m6 back in the early 2016 for 140k, from bermaz..
Its design look outdated compared to Mazda 3.
still the best looking among all the d segment sedan.
No it doesnt. Front is almost same only back should get new lights. Interior is on same level as M3, only infotaiment need update. If M3 is too small for you and u dont like SUV, M6 is still best car in class.
Wtf for the price you get that tiny screen??
Lol, are you buying TV now bro
Giant screens are for shitty chinese vehicles
Don't waste your money to this outdated car
And what is so outdated? Yes infotainment is old but u still have android auto. Car is pure example how to make beauty that last and 2,5l NA engine ia bulletproof. But if u are buying car becouse of big screens and u like modern 1,2l turbo engines, than that car is for sure outdated for you
