No longer the by-product of the marriage between Ford and Mazda, the all-new 2014 Mazda 6 is now strictly all Mazda. With its own unique platform, sleek "Kodo" styling, and the best fuel-efficiency in it's class. The third generation Mazda6 will undoubtedly make it to more shoppers' short list when choosing a mid-size family sedan. Let's just hope the company sees fit to up the fun factor with more power in the coming years.

I call this model the 2-second Maserati; when you see it on the road, you initially think it's a Maserati. It is a beautiful design.
I just purchased the 6 Grand Touring; replaced the stock air filter with a K&N Filter and used 89 oct. gas.
These two changes caused the engine to add 150 rpm at idle; add 300 rpm to the rev range in 3rd 4th and 5th
gear before shifting out. My 0-60 mph time is now 6.4 sec. who'd a thunk it
Hands down the best midsize family sedan out right now.
youre kidding right? its not
pat mahiney what is?
you mean period or in the price range?
thank*reason
We liked it better than the more expensive Lexus, Infiniti, Accord, and the testers do too.
Most bang for the buck.
Amazing brakes and suspension, peppy, quiet engine, comfortable.
Character of a car costing twice the price.
***** jus bought one on friday... am i winning?? lol
A friend of mine just bought a used 2015 Mazda6 Grand Touring. What a nice car for the money! He wanted me to drive it, and I have to say that I'm very impressed with this car. It felt like a car costing twice as much in my opinion. That was my first impression after one 10 minute drive anyway. I think it's a great looking car. That's incredible that it gets 28 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway with a 6 speed automatic. Nice review as well by the way.
I love the all new mazda 6. They really hit the nail on the head for 2014, I do wish mazda would bring back the speed6.
Same here, I love my 06 speed 6...
Mark Calica I honestly want to buy a mazdaspeed6. You don't find that kind of power in a accord or a camary lol. I love mazda i even love my 00 mazda 626 that is what the mazda 6 replaced back in 04 xD in case you didn't know but im sure u did
Of course I do, major gearhead here...
Excellent and a true and loyal mazda fan :D
@@TomDeVitoI own a speed6! they’re majestic and fantastic cars! the only major cost is the VVT every 100k miles! which is only 1500$! worth the money! I choose Mazda over Subaru, Toyota and Honda! reliable fast luxurious
Wow you guys did an amazing job on the camera style and editing!
Excellent review Sofyan! It's amazing to see how much your videos have progressed since last summer!
Okay, Originally I started watching 2theRedline because the car reviews were great. Now I watch them for reviews like this because the introductions are amazing, and the video quality is fantastic. Thank you Sofyan and 2theRedline team!
The new editing is nice. Especially the specs at the beginning.
Sofyan, another great review. You are easy to follow, because after a few reviews the viewer knows what you like. Your context is consistent, so the viewer gets good info even if it's not your type of car. Tested the 6. Easily "Most Improved". I was amazed.. quicker, SMOOTHER, and still corners like a biyatch. I'll think about a 6 for my 70th birthday next Year... if they fork over some boost.
Finally saw one in metal. Videos don't do it justice. Really a good looking vehicle.
You're telling me. I saw one on the highway the other day and did a double-take. I just wish they made an all wheel drive model with either a turbo or V6.
Vortex1988 It would be great if they made a gt version....awd, three hundred HP, upscaled the interior slightly... Would be a segment changer
Vortex1988 It would be great if they made a gt version....awd, three hundred HP, upscaled the interior slightly... Would be a segment changer
I'd love to see that. If that never happens, I'll probably just end up getting a WRX though.
Vortex1988 I like the new still, except for the wing. I wish they had an option for a powered rear spoiler similar to the Audi TT. The big fixed wing is too boy racer for me at my age.
You'd rather have satellite radio and not blind spot sensors? Where are YOUR priorities? You can pop in a CD or plug your phone in, but it'll cost a hell of a lot more to get your car fixed when you don't see that car coming and you change lanes.
Shit man, it's his opinion. Satellite radio is a must-have for many people and they don't want to go to the top-of-the-line trim level. Also blind spot monitoring is for people who can't drive. Its not hard to check your blind spots, people need to stop relying on this tech to steer you back in a lane, or brake for you when a pedestrian steps out, or to parallel park for you. If you can't do those tasks on your own, you should NOT have your license.
Brandon Friesen I can drive without all the tech that people want these days, and quite well. However, the technology that this in cars these days can be useful when you may accidentally lose concentration and you drift out of your lane. Now, don't get me wrong, I like his reviews, but it irks me how nit-picky he is. Every single car he reviews, he always calls out the manufacturer for not making the glove compartment better. Honestly, I could care less whether my car's glove compartment is damped, lined with felt, of big. I am not buying this car for the glove box, I am buying it for the space and the handling. Yes, it is his opinion to have radio over safety features, but if you'd rather have the radio, then you have no choice but to get a higher trim level. If you don't want to shell out the extra cash for it, then you should find a different car with everything you want for a low price.
Nicholas P I do agree, he is super picky. Its a terrible car if the dashboard has the wrong graining. Anyways, to me, all these driving technologies are good. My grandmother can't back up and yea a backup camera and parking sensors would be good for her. But you shouldnt depend on technologies to do your job as a driver. One day, it'll all go wrong(especially on Fords these days) and there will be a BIG crash.
I agree. Ford's tech is not the best in the business. However, backup cameras can be useful, especially on large vehicles like suburbans or Land Rovers, but if you need a backup camera on a Ford Fiesta, you really shouldn't be driving.
it's his personal opinion LOL though, he's not saying the car sucks because it doesn't have satellite radio hahaha
Your reviews are getting more and more professional, great job!
Just bought the wife the 2015 Mazda 6 iTouring. Loaded with options.
Amazing brakes, fun to drive, quiet, comfortable, fantastic ride, peppy, we're getting 34.6 MPG. Electronics light up and connect instantly.
Got it for $3K under sticker MSRP + T&L.
Yeah. We walk into the dealer and they had 4 of them.
Nice car.
Bought the 8/100K warranty too.
***** Just got me a 2015 last week
I'm thinking of getting the i touring as well. what option did u get and how much did u got your car for, if you don't mind me asking.
I like that his reviews aren't scripted. Keep it up!
I enjoying seeing this channel evolve to where it is today
I'd buy this car. I wish they would offer a v6 and a manual.
Having a clutch is the only thing that matters.
I love the interior and exterior design! Does it handle well around the corner? Btw, the introduction was great! You're reviews and productions keep getting better and better! Keep it up Sofyan and the Redline team!
You are the best reviewer of cars on TH-cam! Keep up the fantastic work.
I still say out of the guys who do reviews of cars, You are the best at what you do!
Love the new format! Keep it up man
Much better review than normal...keep it up.
I like the new style of video! Took your videos up a level, Great review!
I am a big fan of your reviews..I watch almost every car reviews you posted on TH-cam .describing everything very well...thank you so much for your all reviews...keep posting... you are really talented on this segment
Excellent review. Pretty well description, so no questions fly in the air! Keep it up, congratulations!
Hey man really enjoyed this video! It was informative as usual but I like the changes and updates you've done. Keep up the good work!
Excellent review and the improvements are much appreciated! Definitely my pick that could handle the daily commute during the week and move the family on the weekends with some fun. For me, suspension and steering feel in a reliable package is king and this one seems to have it. Would like a sunroof and satellite option in the touring package though.
Awesome review as always really like the new editing on the video :D
I`ve got the first mazda 6 , since 2004. 10 years, 347.000 km, 5 different persons driving it, long, short reeeally long distances, never let us down. Is like i bought it last year...of course signs in the front seats leather are overused but this is it.just last year in 300.000 km i replaced the suspensions and was not even necessary...guess what?yesterday i purchased the new mazda 6 2014...an amazing car, super quality similar with many bmw and mercedes which are double priced and they cause troubles when u overstress them...about beauty?i think the video and pics explains everything...
and just bought mazda 6 2014 :-)
Congratulations, may it be better than your previous one :)
Ioannis Gazis What color did you pick?
Thank you very much, I pick the red one, exactly same as in this video. Did 10.000 Km within two months and is just amazing. Most of was long trips more than 6-7 hrs drive. Very pleasant and relaxing
The early 2000s Mazda 6 looked so sexy. I was in High School and I said, 'im buying this car when I get older' but the car did change and it doesn't really align with my tastes now... but it looks and feels much nicer than accord, altima and the ever reliable, boring (like a parent) camry
Love your new format, that car is splendid.
Nice video editing! Great review too
The quality of your videos are getting better!!! Keep up the good work!!!
can i taste your special brown beef?
love the new format guys
excellent review, covered every aspect in detail instead of focusing only on personal preferences (eg. droning forever about the lack of power like other reviewers).
Finally u made of video it was so long since u made one
good to see another vid from you guys
omg your rant about the nav this why i love these reviews u do!
Excellent review, and I'm glad you focused quite a bit on the manual transmission for us stick drivers. I definitely hope Mazda makes the stick available in higher trim packages and offers a sportier engine in the future.
In Canada can get the 6 speed in the Grand Touring model.
BEAUTIFUL DESIGN in many years!!! am buying it
This car looks real nice! I loved the review!!!
wow Sofyan, good job man! I think this is the best video of 2theredline so far :) I agree in pretty much all you said, I love this new Mazda6 but I really wish I could get a Stick 3.5V6 GrandTouring. That'd be without a doubt the best midsize car. Keep up the good work, you guys are getting much better!
Thank you for your in depth review !!!
Love the old school goofy Sofyan dialogue
What an awesome review.. You nailed all the important features and information I was looking for. I've looked at about 20 different reviews on youtube and yours has all the relevant and important information all others seemed to have missed. Yes, the Mazda6 will be my next car. I will need to go test drive one soon. Again, thanks for the great review.
Thanks for the feedback! We'll make sure and keep you guys coming back to us again :). Glad we could help you make an informed decision!
how has your Mazda 6 treating you?
+Redline Reviews Please give me some advise, I've always been Honda guy , bc they can last 200,000miles/10yrs without much problems, and the reliability question on mazda 6 is only thing I worry about...how is mazda 6 long term reliability?...
Mazda is a hidden gem.
+Jitin Misra Since they stopped using Ford engines things can only get better for Mazda in my opinion
finally! great review.
300 hp with an awd option and Mazda would have a very serious segment competitor.
That'd be a segment jumper, haha. Who knows, maybe they'll introduce a Mazdaspeed version and you'll get your wish... I'm personally waiting for the diesel.
diesel coming soon, 300+ ft.lbs. torque
Youbones
Diesel in 2016 rumoured to be 48 volt with the emissions controls that don't require regens or hurt fuel economy.
Read that: Rumoured, but the rumour is gaining traction.
I was leary of diesel but we have a 2015 DMax and it's great. Diesel Mazda might just be amazing.
True . To make this a true sports car it needs more ooomph
Sofyan, awesome review. Hope you get a 9th gen Accord 6spd to review and compare it to the Mazda 6.
Nice if you also compare the Accord to the ILX.
I was contemplating between the 3 and settled for the Accord. In Honda I trust through the long haul and the ILX was a little more than my budget but what a fun sports luxury sedan.
Glad to see Kia and Hyundai come out with the new model sports sedan forcing Honda and everyone else compete to make all new designs sportier and fun.
I currently own one of these in a stunning dark blue metallic in the Sports trim. Excellent to drive and very decent on fuel. Mines is a diesel which is pretty frugal and as for the kit list it goes on and on in the typical MAZDA way. A Beautiful car that does turn heads with its 'angry' face and crouching stance. Great to drive too.
Hi, I'm thinking of going for Sport SE with 19 Inch alloy. Do you have these and how is the drive ?
1 year later the Mazda 6 is still the best.
TheLifeOfCars what about 4 years later?
What about a 4.5 years?
Have a 2014 Mazda 6 with 363,451 miles right now. Runs and drives like a top
6 years later too 😃
7 years later?
6:19 whole bunch of NAVI sounds so funny
Good job on the review Sofyan! You should make the intro to the newer car reviews more like this one. If you find a (04-13) Toyota Matrix Xr or Xrs would you plz do a review of it!
Excellent review!!
Thank you for the review. I enjoyed it.
Thank you for being honest with the review, in which I wouldn't give my money on the Touring model, thanks once again! :D
I know you guys are trying to keep on improving the professionalism of your reviews, but I honestly prefer the old style of filming and recording in general.
Especially during the test drives where the camera in pointed right in front of the dash and steering wheel. I also prefer the point of view camera when entering inside the car, makes you feel as if you were actually in it. The audio was also much more immersive.
Now it's a bit muted, it's a harder to hear the engine noise.
Anyways, great reviews as usual.
You are steadily improving your review style, and since you seem to be willing to listen to constructive criticism, please try not to start basically every paragraph with "now", that feels quite repetitive after a couple of minutes.
Other than that, thanks for the review and your effort in making and improving these is very much appreciated, indeed!
This is the FIRST good looking Asian car. And oh my good- it looks a w e s o m e!!! 25.000USD? Here in Austria this car in the same configuration starts at ~43.000USD...
lol sucks for your guys
This guy is beyond, he he is the perfect guy for review and we appreciate your effort brother from citizens of the world
Definitely one of the best looking designs I've seen in a while for the segment and of course being a Mazda it will be fun to drive and reliable. The thing is though there should have been a V6 option. Good fuel economy can be achieved with a V6 too plus they operate much smoother than any 4 cylinder I've driven.
I am a Ford person and I have never liked four cylinder motors and never will because they are not reliable like a V6 is and I hate it that ford is making all of their cars with a four cylinder motor now
fetchmonster7 Kinda showing your age. But four cylinder motors have been plenty reliable for years now. Granted some of the "TURBO" emphasis on turbo there, have been known to be go bad, but thats after thousands of miles, and most often due to bad fuel and improper maintenance. If it says use premium use it, as with all synthetic fluids. FORD ecoboost motors are excellent btw.
Wow best car review i've ever seen.
I like your new videography style
I just got a 2015 with the Manual cause I prefer it. I'm gonna do an AEM Cold Air Intake and an exhaust eventually.
AWESOME car!!! I like how it looks!!!!
I have the '15 GT, love it! Home run
Love your car videos. Thanks!
Loving our 2014 Mazda6 touring 6 speed manual... great family car that is still a lot of fun to drive:) only wished they offered the grand touring in a 6 speed...
Nice Review Of 2014 Mazda Mazda6. 😀
Nice vid my dude. Thanks
Kudos to you Mazda for going on your own and making an excellent vehicle.
This car looks actually really good, good job mazda 😉
excellent review
Fantastic production value. Such a beautiful car.
Like the Maserati or Jaguar curves in this car. Mazda is finally making something awesome.
Could u do a review of the 2014 mazda 3
Great review, great car.
Excited to see how the mazdaspeed 3 will look like. Mazda is definitely headed the right direction delivering great fuel economy and sporty premium feeling rides. Any speculations on when they will show the speed3?
Great review. I love my 2014 Mazda 6. I have the i-touring automatic and my avg MPG shows 36.2... with that said -- I do baby my engine and (unless I'm in a hurry) I keep it under 65 MPH as well as keeping it in high gear which is ideal for good fuel economy. Other drivers typically get 32 MPG avg.
How many miles do you have? My dad is looking for a midsize sedan. He likes the Passat, Fusion and 6.
Good idea on babying it. Break-ins can be a nightmare(can't use cruise control, can't do high revs, can't do full throttle accelerations etc.) but they will pay off when your motor runs 100% every day. I had a friend who had a 2011 Civic Si. He thought the break in period was irrelevant and was done at the factory so he didn't have to worry despite the dealer warning him.
He revved the nuts off it all the time. After 6 months, he had 11,000 miles on it and it started burning oil, knocking on idle, and took multiple seconds to crank. Now? Its in the junk yard. Poor thing couldn't cope.
Beauregard! Duke! Shoulda rolled down some of the twisties on Van Dorn :-)
The nav buttons are present because even though this model did not come with navigation, it is prewired for it. You only need to buy it from Mazda and install it.
Any suggestions on a good aftermarket infotainment replacement for this thing???
Specifically something that can quickly pair with my ipod, let me play whatever music I please from my playlists with miniscule issues AND still have the control knob in the center still be usable... suggestions, if any..?
7.5s is lame?! Why do americans whant so powerfull cars? There are no highways without a speed limit and lots of cops itching to shoot you for overspeeding.....
First of all, we have roads with speed limits of 80 mph in some places of the US. That would be the same as having a road with a speed of 129 km/h. Even with the "standard" speed limit in the US of 70 mph, most people will drive 75mph. The police know this, and are comfortable allowing someone to do this speed.
Here's the question. At those speeds, are you going to have enough power in your vehicle to maneuver out of a bad situation? Not all situations can be prevented by braking, as some times you need to step on the gas and get out of the way of an idiot.
That, my dear compadre, is why we need the power. Other countries don't drive as fast, because they are very small in size compared to the US.
BlackMarketHumour in Texas, people will pass you when you're already going 80 in a 60 mph speed limit
BlackMarketHumour Thats why you buy a turbo charged diesel car,something that is finally slowly penetrating the u.s. market. When you take over someone you just push the throttle and feel the pleasure of torque!
You don't need turbo or V-6 to break the speed limit. I've never had trouble getting speeding tickets with my stock '05 Focus. Don't think I could afford getting a car that was actually "fast." :-P
American's and most people think they want Horsepower when in reality, it's Torque they need.
i love mazdas new design. cant wait to see the mx5!
This new design of the mazda 6 looks nice
Great review Sofyan. I'm impressed with how this redesigned #mazda6 has changed a whole lot from the previous model in every single aspect possible.
In addition, do you have any plans on reviewing the all-new 2014 Mazda3?
- Michael Land
Glad you enjoyed our latest review, the 2014 Mazda3 is on our list but we are leaving for LA on Sunday to be at the auto show press preview. We won't be receiving anymore press cars until we get back, but you can look forward to videos at the show :)
Actually having just bought a 2014 Mazda6 GT and trading in my V6 Mazda6s, the car is quite quick. What people don't realize is the lower curb weight and 30 percent increased torsional rigidity compared its predecessor. They also have a class-leading 0.26 coefficient of drag. Plus, all the national car mags have this car as their top family sedan. (Car&Driver named it one of their top cars of the year)
can i come work with you guys? i'm not kidding. the way you guys have evolved with your videos shows great promises in the near future and i want to be a part of it. my sister lives in centreville so i can be a local.
What software program do you use for your graphics? You have the best!
Can you do a review of the mazda cx 5 cause no one will do a review
Of those but it would be nice if you could cause your reviews are really good
do you have a review of the 2013 wagon? i am considering of buying one. i quite like the interior.
Just got one w the grand touring trim, 6 speed auto, in black and god damn does it drive nice :)
Great review just traded in my Honda SI for the 2014 and subbed :) does the engine cover just pop off?
A couple of corrections. 1.The last model (2009-2012) was not shared with the Fusion and was made in Japan. 2.The last model started in 2009, not 2010 as stated. 3.The Mazda "grin" was hardly present at ALL on the last generation 6 and it continues to be a head-turner in black. I know, because I have a black 2011 Mazda6 and still love it.
we traded ours in for a van and i really wish we had ours still. Love this car and gas mileage
this car is so underrated, especially the last generation
Very quiet and smooth, glad you did away with the exhaust note shot, not need on most cars!
Nice review but concerning what you said about the rear view camera, I believe that the beeping sensors are an unneeded luxury. My Subie has rear view (without the sensors) and I can't see my life being affected at all with the sensors. It's just not needed, the bare camera and lines are useful enough.
Now that you mentioned it, can you PLEASE do a 1st generation Mazda 6
cool intro!!
Great car. Great review
***** It's not too often people notice my username lol
There needs to be a MazdaSpeed6 performance version of this car. It's beautiful!
