Geiler Wagen. Kommt da ein bisschen Fahrfreude auf, wie ist die fahrdynamik in Kurven? Wird es innen laut auf der Autobahn? Das ist mit der größte Kritikpunkt an dem Wagen, aber im Video kann man das nicht raushören. Jemand hat geschrieben das es auf der Autobahn man selbst das Radio nicht mehr hören kann, so laut ist der Motor/Windgeräusche.
Dieser Motor ist ein wenig untermotorisiert, was ein ganz normales schweres Auto und kein Turbo ist aber es könnte in den kommenden Jahren mit einem sehr schönen Motor kommen Die Skyactiv-X-Engine finde ich persönlich sehr gelungen und von der Leistung her völlig ausreichend. wenn Sie auf dem Weg zur Arbeit kein Rennen fahren, ist es ein ausreichender Motor. Ich habe viele Tests auf Mazda gesehen, aber am erfolgreichsten sind die Inhalte auf diesem Kanal.
Plenty fast for a gorgeous wagon/estate. Just, is It me or the wins noise was quite excessive? i have the 2002 2.0 and I was expecting the insulation to be way better
@@javigar133 you want an honest answer? about 1 time a month. if I decide to push it in a empty Autobahn , 200 is my mental pre-set limit to release the gas, it sounds unhealthy fast but just for a peak speed after about 25 seconds and afterwards I go back to a legal-ish speed
Double jealousy...Mazda 6 as a wagon (best body style imo) AND a 6 speed manual? Even though it only has the 163hp engine, I'd choose it over the 191hp 2.5 with an auto...thats also a sedan.
Glad it's a manual. Here in the U.S., the manual got discontinued by around 2018. We got the turbo engine (I don't think Europe got the 2.5L turbo), but never with the manual. We also never got the combi (that's a real bummer), and never got the 2.2L turbodiesel (also ashame). Would have loved to have the wagon (combi), turbodiesel and a 6 speed manual.
Pretty sure 2017 was the last year of a manual Mazda 6, and only on the base model unfortunately. The first two years (2014-15) I believe the manual was available all the way up to the top Grand Touring, then touring and below in 2016, base in 2017...then gone😢
@@jbm0866 Nope. 2018 as well, but for the base model only. I remember because we got our facelift 2018 Mazda 6 Grand Touring that year and the manual was still available for that year, but it was the last year it would be offered. It's also mentioned on wikipedia as well. So the manual was indeed available for one year of the facelift model in the US.
One correction...it was 3k rpm in 5 speed according to this video which is probably around 2300-2500 in 6 gear. The guy in this video used maximum power with 5 gear at 140kmh for acceleration.

@@Gyye145hp engine consumes even less in Mazda 6. I read that 6 gear is pretty long and revs are low at higher speeds. I know it is a slow car but also maybe even more reliable then others. But I did not find any reports of 145hp Mazda with high kilometers. Any idea maybe?

if you dont constantly rev out the last few rpm than actually yes, a modern 1l turbocharged engine has similar if not little better performance in the middle revs compared to a naturally aspirated 2 liter. the 2 liter however is much more flexible to drive, especially the mazda engines do not vibrate or rattle even at full load in top gear at very low revs. its basically a constant linear power delivery from 1000rpm up to the rev limiter. compared to the rattly turbo 3 cylinders that have all their go between 2500-4000rpm and want to be shifted a lot to stay in this range. for everyday driving i´d still take the oldschool power delivery of the N/A 2 liter.
@@TESTDRIVEFREAK6 speed with Mazda transmission are only for cruising.

2.0L N/A engine in a 2021 car, niceeee
Mazda is the new undercover BMW - like an e34 520 oder 525i only with 4 cylinders, more modern, safe and not looking like a jerk driving it.
The only thing I don't understand is why the driver drives this car like it's Diesel !? It is an N / A engine and needs revs to extract all the power
exact but even if the diesel does not need revs going to in the rpm releases a little more power
Well to save some mpg i drive a petrol car and i don't rev the engine until the third speed
lol at some parts i was rev at high rpm and some parts normal. not only show maximum rev driving.
My favorite car
Looks like a very sporty car. And very stable on high speeds!

it was normal sound proofing but engine was loud at high revs, like sports cars :)
is it reliable ?
