You keep saying the screen is not a touchscreen and it is I am currently driving a 2021 Mazda CX nine and it is a touchscreen it works much better using the scroll wheel which in my opinion is safer and more intuitive than touching the screen but you’re wrong they do have touchscreens.
I agree, who actually wants to try and use a touchscreen when driving only to miss and select something else, it’s less safe as you can’t feel your way around and who wants fingerprints all over their screen anyway 😖
Used to work at a Mazda dealership. As nice as they are there are many things about it that annoy me. No factory remote start ( even though every other Mazda model has that) and it's only fwd (every other Mazda offers awd besides the mx-5). If the rumors are true that they are going to put the turbo inline six in it and make it rwd/awd then that might change things up. Currently just a nice, somewhat sharp, premium car but is still a pretty mundane family sedan.
The Mazda6 (Signature) was my dream car not so long ago. For parking considerations, I ended up getting a 3 (I live in the city, where every inch counts), and, apart from the cramped back seat (so much so that I don't even consider myself to HAVE a back seat), I actually have come to prefer the 3. It currently has a better infotainment than the 6 (though still not touch), and is just right for me.
I thought about it too, but the 3 has no passenger electric controls, no ventilation seats no rear ac and much smaller space. I like the AC design too with the red and blue.. the : has better tech but still might get the signature.
I love my 1st generation mazda6 diesel, manual transmission station wagon. I special ordered it from Japan with the exact options I wanted, and I will never sell it. What I will also never do is buy *this* mazda6, because it's so ugly, isn't offered with a diesel engine or a manual transmission, and isn't offered as a station wagon. When the mazda for life loyal customers don't want your latest product, as a company, you should deeply reflect on all the things you have done wrong on your latest model.
@@cold02rex Yeah, that's indeed BS. Every elite racing class would've switched to automatic transmissions of they were allowed to. And while technically possible, you'd have to drive like a pro to beat current consumer automatic transmissions all the time.
The color is ugly. I bought the 2021 Mazda 6 Touring in white pearl, black interior. Traded in my 2015 Subaru Crosstrek.... The features I bought it for never worked from day 1...like picking up the phone via car button. The AC stopped working...and the all wheel drive ... something happened but don't exactly know. And the flappy cloth trunk cover really sucked! Went back to a solid sedan. WHAT A RELIEF...I HOPE!
@@WorksOnMyComputer my dads a Mazda dealer he’s been to their private events where they announce info like that to the dealers before making it public. They’re also making the CX-9 larger and adding a smaller 3 row suv to go between the CX-9 and CX-5. But yeah what a shame
Um, according to reliable news sources and leaks the 6 is getting a major redesign for 2022-2023 and Mazda is planning to make it even more luxurious, also a TH-camr Mazda dealer employee confirmed this so I don't know where you're getting that from but it's bullshit.
WRONG stuff you mentioned. Mazda display is touch screen. How did you even do such a review without knowing this basic. How are you even a reviewer? The 2016 Mazda 6 display is already touch screen.
I have a 2020 I bought new this January, it has a touchscreen. I don't use it much because I don't like finger smudges and the hand controls in the console are more convenient
Wow Mazda took The Mazda Speed 6. Took to the basement of The Soviet era Lubyanka torture it. Cut off it's balls aka AWD, take away your 6spd manual, punched it .2 higher displacement, and then cut 1/4 of its muscles off and said okay now you can go. On the way out The Mazda 6 saw The Nissan Sentra being tortured too. "No More Spec V or Spec V II for you Mister Sentra, Nissan told us we could torture you into Simp Mode"
The drivers choice with performance in this segment? What's going on here? Is this an american thing or has everyone gone completely and utterly insane?
@@mbenton6 Yes they've refined it. But what I was trying to say in a nutshell is that Mazda cosmetic updates are too subtle for the money.. Like Subaru & Dodge Durango. Only retro cars like Wrangler, Challenger, Camaro, & Mustang can get away with things like that.
@@jaccuster8258 motor trend has always done bais videos based on getting paid and perks it a shame because it does some good content. I just wouldn't trust them for buying my car.
I saw the frontend of one in the parking lot as I was walking to the store, it looked stunning! I had to stop and do a walk around.
If they added AWD with the turbo 2.5, I'd definitely have one. Make it a wagon and I would be at the dealer tomorrow
They’re getting rid of the Mazda 6
I mean that's basically what the Mazda3 Turbo is, just a little smaller.
@@tricia154 I know. I'd rather the room of the 6 though. Back seats in the 3 are a touch tight and I think the 6 looks better
They sell an AWD wagon version but only in Germany. I still don't know why only Germany.

Great review! I’ve got a 2018 Mazda six and absolutely love it.

It’s true Mazda 6 drives better than Camry/ accord, drove all 3 6 drives so smooth and handles awesome! Definitely the buy!
I own 2018 Mazda6 awesome 👌 car. Premium quality at reasonable price 👌

It does have a factory remote starter... please do your research. From the app you can start your car from where ever
It is a touchscreen in Mazda 6
Your wrong, it is a touch screen, there new screen isnt.

Aw, your jacket matches.
I got a 2016 with 250k miles lol. Love this car. Hopefully I can upgrade to this one soon 🙏
Turbo version ?
Was looking at Mazda 3 turbos... but lack of RWD kills me. Nice ad, btw.
If they made the 6 in a wagon I’d be sold in a heartbeat
They do, just not in the USA.
I was thinking of getting a manual wagon in Mexico and just *casually* driving it across the border.
I LOVE IT!!! A GREAT VALUE FOR THE MONEY!!!!
I like the signature better. Thats the top trim level
love mazda

I get the frustrations over lack of a wagon and options, but you completely lost me at "it's so ugly". Seriously.
He basically says nothing important. Zero facts just "really nice"
Only downside is no more manual.
Nobody but nobody really wants a manual family car to put %99 of attention into not being able to fulfilling racecar pretention.
@@cold02rex not true but ok
@@cold02rex For me it's simply how I learned to drive and up until today how I prefer driving cars. Nothing to do with racing pretentions.
@@djoetma That's fair. I just get tired of the performance argument for non performance oriented drivers with manuals for the safety of ego.

They don't have AWD in Mazda6. Probably you're talking about Mazda3
Getting famous off of comments day 324, so I can live the dream, live every day like it’s your last🤙
Mazda can do a lot of things, but they still can't get Americans to pronounce their company name right.
It is called and pronounced Mazda though after the Persian god Mazda. Matsuda is the Japanese person
😍😍
almost 10 years old, I guess?
Shame they’re getting rid of it in NA
Shame you have no evidence of that.
