I have been driving Mazda 6 (2.0) 2014 for 4 years now and I couldn’t be happier. Very reliable, no issue & good handling. My only setback is the soundproof but i guess they improved with newly facelift model.
Yeah I'm loving my 2015! Some slight body blemishes from curbs and crap though. A puncture on the back and just yesterday I bent a little bit on the front just from parking and the front of my car rubbing the curb. but it's really good to see that the brand new cars coming out don't look any different! I actually like my interior better than this. my steering wheel though has become super glossy. I miss when it was matte and had texture for the first couple years when I bought it. Guess my body oils did something. Also my seat is looking horrible and has a tear in it. And the whole thing is just matted down from me sitting in it for 60,000 miles. Back speaker makes static noise, sometimes, even when the audio system is turned completely off. And my back left lock makes a squeaking sound. Both of these have been occurring since I was under warranty, but their intermittent so they would never happen when I was at the dealership to show them.
You are so right Bobby. I own a 2018 CX5 2.2D with the updated 140kw engine and im loving every drive home after work! Powerful and fuel efficient at the same time. I do wish they come with pedal shifters just for that extra bit of fun tho!
I own a mazda 2nd Gen CX5, it's totally out of my expectation, the build quality of interior, exterior designs which is *KODO* style comes in, and Mazda 6 is even better in handling. I don't compare this brand with Merx, Bxx or Volxx, but i can tell u it's already a outstanding car from most of the European Car Makers. GO AND TEST DRIVE then u can feel what i feel
Mazda is a disruptor here in the US. Not obsessing with horsepower but intimacy of transmission and engine for organic responsiveness. The 6 here has a turbo version same as the CX9. Watch this take off with 250 hp peak with premium fuel or 220 with regular. Head to head with Honda's Accord turbo and Passat 2:0 Highline. Plus Mazda has its own real wood trim with simulated suede interior. For too long the meme was its a small manufacturer. But the brand is punching above its weight . The CX 5 is an SUV best seller in Oz. How long more to remain small Bobby ?
I own several BMWs and I'll agree with this. Most people would say, get a Hyundai, it's basically a cheap mans Beamer. But it isn't. Mazdas on the otherhand, drives almost like a beamer, feels like it too. The infotainment system doesn't feel too far off and I'll feel comfortable in one. If there's a cheap Sedan from an asian manufacturer to get if you can't afford a beamer, Mazda is the way to go. It's fun, it feels sporty yet practical, a lot more reliable and looks good. One day if you wanna upgrade atleast you know that for now you have a Really good car in your hands =D
@@comments7335 People can dream I guess? And it's always the case where you always wanna relate something to another brand that's more expensive to make it look and sound good.It's no beamer but it just feels like it. Something more like drive feel and layout perhaps. Like how Sound Signature works for some peeps. The Audio Tecnica M50 sounds almost like the HD650! but it doesn't, just has the same sound sig and at a completely different price point XD But people love to find similarities. Which is good by all means. Something for them to look forward to. But I get what you mean when some peeps over exaggerate and says, it's just like a Beamer and you don't need to get one. Sure some interior quality and design might shame Audi interiors, but it doesn't mean it won. Just says that it's good. Some peeps would just diss the expensive brands and exaggerate. Have a friend who has a Mazda 6 this year and he says it's just like my 340i. Till he got into the car and felt the difference. And so by then I corrected him saying, he's not entirely wrong, Mazda do feel like beamers, but they're no replacement. You want a good car but affordable, there you go. You got the dough? And what larger and better performing engines? Get that Beamer. That's all there is to it XD
I owned 2 BMW 5 series before. An E60 and a G30. After I crashed my G30 a few weeks ago I bought a 2018 Mazda 6. I am amazed !!! This car gives me so much more driving pleasure than my BMWs. It also looks sportier than the G30. I paid half the price I paid for my G30 and it has double the options. It has safety features my G30 didn't have. I love the Mazda 6.
Got mine in SG in March, 2.0L Executive, thanks to your review. I have to say, as a person who always have buyer's regret, I am very satisfied in the purchase this time and haven't regretted for a single moment. It's so fun to drive and feels premium with every touch of the interior. Now I'm a big fan of Mazda. I hope they'll use their TCR Mazda 3 engine and produce a hot hatch in future.
I have driven cars which are more grippy and fast than mazda 6 but the mazda feels like its alive and actually have a soul...if ure looking for a car in this segment go for mazda with ur eyes closed its that good !!!
How does this compares to the Optima GT? Those 242 hp and 350 nm are damn addictive, other than that I think styling, handling and quality of materials goes to the Mazda 6.
oh this easily drives better than the Optima. Fit and finish the Optima is very good too. Yeah i do wish the Mazda 6 makes the kind of power .... but turbocharging also means having to deal with turbolag ... and turbolags are annoying during spirited drives ...
This + the diesel is the best combo of any D sedan out there. Real show real go, no faffing about with waiting to die heavy hybrid systems . Just two turbos , diesel , drive .
There is a new 2.5 turbo G with 227/250 ho with the Signature trim. That should come to Asian market as well in the near future, actually it was introduced recently in Manila during the Philippine International Motor show. Probably it will come also with Apple car play and Android auto...
Mazda is behaving like Honda in the 90s. They’re giving everything they have, even if they don’t need to. Bobby, can give some advice on buying a used 2013 Mazda 6 2.5, compared to a used 3 series of the same price?
2013 is first batch or facelift? Id recommend the facelift as the first batch dashboard has a design flaw that some would emit noise, and the facelift improved a lot overall
E90 is so damm nice to drive. And the 6 cylinder makes for a lovely note. But as you know, a 10 year old BMW vs a 6 year old Japanese car, you know which will require more tender loving care. But assuming both are in the same state of health, i would take the E90 in a heartbeat because they are the last BMWs that drives like an Ultimate Driving Machine. And while i praise Mazda 6 a lot, it is in the modern context that they felt great. Put it this way, the only sedan that felt like an E90 now is the Jaguar XE. And if we only talk about steering and handling (putting aside everything else), the Mazda 6 doesnt hold a candle next to the XE's handling. I have a simple question thou, which one is the one in your heart? Which one brain? Follow your heart. Lastly, 2013 Mazda 6 and 2010 323i are both in a state where "sellers asking for a certain price but dealers are pressing them like mad to take in kinda situation" so i reckon if you wanna buy, you can either use the budget you have for the 323i to contact 325is and offer them that price (because they know its gonna go down anyway) or offee 15k lower than what your budget is for the same model you want. Its a buyer's market now, not seller's.
Are the paddle shifters and the keyless entry are on the 2.5L and the 2.2D? But like you said, they are definitely not necessary for the Mazda experience.
Hi Bobby, need yr advice I tot of changing my subaru xv '14 1 owner to a used mazda 6 2.5 wagon '13, is it adviceable + anything to look out for the used mazda 6? Tq in advance.
Do a D Segment shootout like the Kia Optima GT, Camry or Accord, maybe you can also do C Segment or B Segment as well and some touch of European Cars in those segment too it will be interesting and I bet now your team has sufficient people to do so like Kon, Beng and another Malay guy..... If not you can also ajak me also HAHAHAHA cheers
Hi bobby , which one would you choose if you have a Budget for either the highest spec mazda6 or new Audi A4 B9? I personally find that Audi A4 has very good pliancy but handling slightly not as expected.
Hi bobby, noticed that you have reviewed the mazda 2.0, facelifted mazda 6 2.2 diesel, but you have never reviewed the mazda 6 2.5 or the touring, tell you what to complete your review, you are more than welcome to review my wife's 2016 mazda 6 2.5 touring , which is a facelifted wagon, with gvc and bose sound system...let me know if you are interested thanks
hi. want to ask for advice. if i want to spend 200k-ish on a car with 2k-ish monthly installment that i can get now and not having to wait and queue for months, what are my best options? and i like sedans not SUVs, headache-free maintenance, 5-years kind of use. should i go for new Mazda6, final facelift, 218i gran coupe or A200 if want to go for badge, Passat R line, or certified pre-owns of 2 or 3 years? appreciate any advice
Best car out of your options would be the Mazda 6 or Passat. A class inproved a lot over previous generation so if you dont need a large car its decent. 218 i personally dont like its looks but after reviewing it i find no faults with the car apart from its weak engine
ICHIMA im actually waiting for his review on the new camry when it comes out... because my moms actually on market for D segment car, so i convinced her to buy passat but then Bobby said some people still thinks the new camry is so good... so i’ll wait for Bobby’s review on the new camry and see how really good it is compared to other D segment car especially passat...
great video... Does it handles better than a BMW say 3 series? i noticed that you have never touch on this. Cos the 3 series has and always been the class leader in handling for the longest time. Jus keen to know how far away is this car in comparison.
I'd drive this over the 318i anytime. But the 3-series does handle great, does suspension pliancy really well, but when you add in throttle response, overall cohesiveness, the mazda 6 gives a better experience. If it were the 330i or 328i, then it's a different question. But both cannot hold a candle to the Jaguar XE in terms of handling. But the Jaguar XE had a crappy stupid gearbox lol ....
Timothy Chien Yun Chew its the same chassis and engine. It's going to feel very similar. The biggest changes are the sound proofing and the interior (including the seats).
Honestly, Ultra Racing bars are of questionable usefulness for modern cars. Maybe for Perodua and Toyota cars that still have weak chassis, it will contribute to some difference. But for chassis that make extensive use of gigapascal-grade AHSS steel, do you seriously think that mild steel bars with ultimate tensile strength of just 300MPa can improve chassis members that have ultimate tensile strength of 1000-1500MPa? Newer Proton cars like the Persona, Preve and Suprima have around 20% HPF AHSS steel content, mainly around the passenger cell. The rest of the car makes extensive use of 500-800MPa high-strength and dual-phase steels. Honda has started using up to 20+% AHSS steels in their newer cars like the HRV, CRV, Accord and Civic. Mazda, Hyundai and Kia are moving towards 50% and higher amounts of AHSS. I don't think Ultra Racing bars will contribute much towards all these ultra-strong platforms.
Hi Eng, i would not consider that option. UR bars are very stiff and strengthens the rigidity of the car chassis. However, it compromises comfort and this is antithetical to a comfort car like M6 which already had very good suspension and dampers. I had UR bars on my older Satria GTI and it feels great. But i wouldn't put those on my M6 and saloon cars as the car becomes very bumpy and you can really feel the road condition. Just my two cents.
Honestly UR is just crap product vs its claimed. I hv threw few thousands for my MPV few yrs ago and ended dismantled it due to many undercarriege bolts & nuts became loose.
I have a chance to sit Mazda 6 today and certainly it is not as specious as Passat. The legroom space is similar to Passat but headroom is bad as a D segment car. I am 6 feet tall and I only have 2 fingers away from the root while sitting at rear seat. If the car go fast with the big bump I believe I will hit my head.
If you're young entrepreneur or executive, then mazda is car you should drive. Honda is for gov servants and unreliable too. Bmw/merc are too expensive to buy and maintenance. Mazda on the other hand, super fuel efficient, reliable and branding
Hey bobby, am a big fan of ur video, would like to ask if I have the budget of 200k+, should I get a mazda 6 or a 3 series ? I'm concerned about the handling and driving pleasure.
Just my personal views where I would like to share, point of view is based on new car, if your budget is around 200k+ the 2.2 Diesel version of the car would be better than the 3 Series. As the 3 Series, for the same amount of money you can get the 318i. Aside from the BMW badge, it has only got a 1.5L turbocharged engine, horsepower and torque lose to the 2.2 SkyActiv-D engine, 450NM @ 2000RPM. As Bobby mentioned and Mazda's track record, their cars handles really well, Jinba Ittai and GVC is not marketing gimmick. I do assume that the 3 Series would out handle the Mazda 6 due to rear-wheel drive setup, it will be more fun and engaging for spirited driving. Mazda 6 may lose out on handling but 450NM of torque at your expense would give you that real nice pull while overtaking. The premium feel isn't going to be much different, aside from slightly more sophisticated and premium looking dash/interior from the BMW and sportier more adjustable seat. If you are eyeing for the 330e then... Well it is a rather different car cause of that quite, no lag electric motor kind of pull. 1 word... Addictive I would go for the 2.2D Mazda 6, low rpm peak torque without the turbo lag. Why not right ? Do also look into the Kia Stinger, top up a little, bring some colours to the car scene in Malaysia ! : )
Ng Chuu Huei im contemplating with the same issue as well, I did took into account Passat and optima too. In the end I chose 330e. Bimmer driving experience is really fantastic although it’s the smallest car.
Hello guys, l’m considering buying a used mazda 3 or mazda 6. I would like to ask some Mazda owners here to give me some genuine opinions about it like how’s the maintenance fees or etc.. highly appreciate if I would be able to receive some feedbacks from u guys, thanks!
Hey Bobby. Just a quick one, comparing this car with the BMW 330e, which has better handling? i believe these Mazda 6 doesn't come with any Turbo compared to most cars these days in this segment? does that make a difference. Hope you do a review of the 2.2 Diesal Mazda 6 which has a punchier torque.
That's not messed up.. Mazda 6 obviously has more interior space than a BMW 3 series, more boot space, and better at lugging 5 passengers around while being at a similar price point (or in the case of the Mazda 6 2.0, significantly cheaper than even the entry-level BMW 318i)
@Cave Edico if you're a keen follower of bobby like I am, you've probably watched his 330e review where he goes on by saying 330e has the best handling in its segment comparing with other German manufacturers. Using the 330e as a benchmark I'm comparing the handling of mazda "jinbai itai". This has nothing to do with brand or its country of origin.
They actually do. 2.5T unit from the CX-9, just that they highly likely won't be bringing it in. Bobby did a video on the 2.2 MZ6 but that was the pre-fl model.
I have driven both (B8 1.8TSI) and Mz6 2.0, the Mazda is very involving and intuitive feeling vs the Passat feeling very inert and numb despite being competent handling.
Ok Bobby I'm sold to this car.. one last thing.. between the 2012 528i f10 (second hand) & the Mazda 6, Which is better in giving driving satisfaction in term of drivetrain and handling. Help me to choose between the two thank you in advance.
I personally would opt for the 5 series even though i know it will have more problems since already 7 year car, and it wont be as great a handling as the Mazda 6... but its a car from a different level of build .... and of course BMW's sophistication .... and power
Hi Bobby I would like you to advise me in getting my first car which I’m not sure either taking up a new Volkswagen Passat 2.0,Mazda 6 2.5 or TOP up a few more to get a official pre used bmw 530i 2018 from BMW. Thank you
Yes yes somebody already put it to the test on RUclips it's a Spanish Channel but the Mazda 6 out-performed Mercedes I believe they took it up to about 40 miles an hour and went through cones and the six went through like a breeze the Mercedes was sliding
I have mazda 6 2.0 since 2014 November, my mazda just give me problems and problems and problems, even changed entire engine due to can't figure out the issue. I stop problem, lower arm boost never ending issue.. Gosshhh... 😢😢😢
I know sometime based on luck but Mazda 6 is considered as luxury car segment. No matter how I complain they just asked me send back to mazda service center for checking and never ending checking .. It took me 3 years plus but problems still there. I bought a rm150k new car but its looks like 10 yrs old car. Totally fade up with Mazda. 😔
Very unfortunate i guess..mine has no problem so far and i bought exactly the same model 2.0, same month & year just like yours. Now i'm clocking 83K km++.
Why bro? Humans can control our urges and just view it as no big deal. Animals on the other hand can never control their programmed instincts. Chill, man. We're all better than that.
Are the pair of legs yours? It's not... so stop that holier than thou attitude... people have a freedom to dress in skirts, pants, jeans, shorts or whatever. Stop acting like an out of control caveman with no self control

Ya, same opinion with you. It's a smooth rise, just that the soundproof is not the strong point..

Hi Bobby. Is this car still a good buy in 2023. Now brand new selling at RM182k
I have 2019 Mazda 6 with 30000km and in my opinion it's a 7/10 car. To me tire noise is annoying even though I've done sound deadening to it
Which one would you prefer? The new honda accord or mazda 6. Im a long time honda accord owner but this one is growing on me.
Mazda 6 anytime. Quality is way better than accord
No challenge here. The Accord cant be compared to this.
Went to 2 Mazda dealers in JB, and surprisingly both do not have test drive units for this car. There's no valid answer too.
great car and quality feel. do you have review of the 2015 face lift 2.5 model? i bought this one this week.
Are the paddle shifters and the keyless entry are on the 2.5L and the 2.2D? But like you said, they are definitely not necessary for the Mazda experience.

Please compare with the new 3 series and new Camry when it comes out....🤤🤤
ICHIMA im actually waiting for his review on the new camry when it comes out... because my moms actually on market for D segment car, so i convinced her to buy passat but then Bobby said some people still thinks the new camry is so good... so i’ll wait for Bobby’s review on the new camry and see how really good it is compared to other D segment car especially passat...
the only problem I have is they don't release these cars until April by then everybody's already bought a different 2019
One of my aim but now I'm caught between sedan or SUV
great video... Does it handles better than a BMW say 3 series? i noticed that you have never touch on this. Cos the 3 series has and always been the class leader in handling for the longest time. Jus keen to know how far away is this car in comparison.
I'd drive this over the 318i anytime. But the 3-series does handle great, does suspension pliancy really well, but when you add in throttle response, overall cohesiveness, the mazda 6 gives a better experience. If it were the 330i or 328i, then it's a different question. But both cannot hold a candle to the Jaguar XE in terms of handling. But the Jaguar XE had a crappy stupid gearbox lol ....
@Bobby voice and video doesn't seem to be in synced..occurred in few videos recently uploaded. What happened?
DJI happened ..... le sigh ....
thank u bobby, I will get a 2016 mazda 6
How would you compare this to the VW B8 Passat highline
I thought it has keyless just need to stand beside the door and press the button never mind I didn’t know it was low spec at the start of the video
For this latest 2.0 model, how do u compare the performance of the pre facelift and 1st facelift. Does it feel better, not underpower like before.
Timothy Chien Yun Chew its the same chassis and engine. It's going to feel very similar. The biggest changes are the sound proofing and the interior (including the seats).
Passat 1.8 compare to this mazda would u prepare bobby
Hi Bobby, will adding ultra racing stabiliser bars upset the handling of the car or betters it?
Honestly, Ultra Racing bars are of questionable usefulness for modern cars. Maybe for Perodua and Toyota cars that still have weak chassis, it will contribute to some difference. But for chassis that make extensive use of gigapascal-grade AHSS steel, do you seriously think that mild steel bars with ultimate tensile strength of just 300MPa can improve chassis members that have ultimate tensile strength of 1000-1500MPa?
Newer Proton cars like the Persona, Preve and Suprima have around 20% HPF AHSS steel content, mainly around the passenger cell. The rest of the car makes extensive use of 500-800MPa high-strength and dual-phase steels. Honda has started using up to 20+% AHSS steels in their newer cars like the HRV, CRV, Accord and Civic. Mazda, Hyundai and Kia are moving towards 50% and higher amounts of AHSS. I don't think Ultra Racing bars will contribute much towards all these ultra-strong platforms.
Hi Eng, i would not consider that option. UR bars are very stiff and strengthens the rigidity of the car chassis. However, it compromises comfort and this is antithetical to a comfort car like M6 which already had very good suspension and dampers. I had UR bars on my older Satria GTI and it feels great. But i wouldn't put those on my M6 and saloon cars as the car becomes very bumpy and you can really feel the road condition. Just my two cents.
Honestly UR is just crap product vs its claimed. I hv threw few thousands for my MPV few yrs ago and ended dismantled it due to many undercarriege bolts & nuts became loose.
I have a chance to sit Mazda 6 today and certainly it is not as specious as Passat. The legroom space is similar to Passat but headroom is bad as a D segment car. I am 6 feet tall and I only have 2 fingers away from the root while sitting at rear seat. If the car go fast with the big bump I believe I will hit my head.
Haven't finish video already felt like calling mazda showroom. With this price point. Should we be comparing with high spec accord camry.
Does the base Mazda 6 has drive mode selection?
If you're young entrepreneur or executive, then mazda is car you should drive. Honda is for gov servants and unreliable too. Bmw/merc are too expensive to buy and maintenance. Mazda on the other hand, super fuel efficient, reliable and branding
Everything is GOOOOD with this car except only one... NO KEYLESS ENTRY??????? Even MYVI pun ada keyless
Thanks for the review. I love this car as well.
Bobby, Mazda 6 2.0 or civic 1.5 turbo?
Hey bobby, am a big fan of ur video, would like to ask if I have the budget of 200k+, should I get a mazda 6 or a 3 series ? I'm concerned about the handling and driving pleasure.
Just my personal views where I would like to share, point of view is based on new car, if your budget is around 200k+ the 2.2 Diesel version of the car would be better than the 3 Series.
As the 3 Series, for the same amount of money you can get the 318i. Aside from the BMW badge, it has only got a 1.5L turbocharged engine, horsepower and torque lose to the
2.2 SkyActiv-D engine, 450NM @ 2000RPM. As Bobby mentioned and Mazda's track record, their cars handles really well, Jinba Ittai and GVC is not marketing gimmick.
I do assume that the 3 Series would out handle the Mazda 6 due to rear-wheel drive setup, it will be more fun and engaging for spirited driving. Mazda 6 may lose out on handling
but 450NM of torque at your expense would give you that real nice pull while overtaking.
The premium feel isn't going to be much different, aside from slightly more sophisticated and premium looking dash/interior from the BMW and sportier more adjustable seat. If you are
eyeing for the 330e then... Well it is a rather different car cause of that quite, no lag electric motor kind of pull. 1 word... Addictive
I would go for the 2.2D Mazda 6, low rpm peak torque without the turbo lag. Why not right ? Do also look into the Kia Stinger, top up a little, bring some colours to the car scene in Malaysia ! : )
Ng Chuu Huei im contemplating with the same issue as well, I did took into account Passat and optima too. In the end I chose 330e. Bimmer driving experience is really fantastic although it’s the smallest car.
Hello guys, l’m considering buying a used mazda 3 or mazda 6. I would like to ask some Mazda owners here to give me some genuine opinions about it like how’s the maintenance fees or etc.. highly appreciate if I would be able to receive some feedbacks from u guys, thanks!
Hey Bobby. Just a quick one, comparing this car with the BMW 330e, which has better handling? i believe these Mazda 6 doesn't come with any Turbo compared to most cars these days in this segment? does that make a difference. Hope you do a review of the 2.2 Diesal Mazda 6 which has a punchier torque.
That's not messed up.. Mazda 6 obviously has more interior space than a BMW 3 series, more boot space, and better at lugging 5 passengers around while being at a similar price point (or in the case of the Mazda 6 2.0, significantly cheaper than even the entry-level BMW 318i)
@Cave Edico if you're a keen follower of bobby like I am, you've probably watched his 330e review where he goes on by saying 330e has the best handling in its segment comparing with other German manufacturers. Using the 330e as a benchmark I'm comparing the handling of mazda "jinbai itai". This has nothing to do with brand or its country of origin.
They actually do. 2.5T unit from the CX-9, just that they highly likely won't be bringing it in. Bobby did a video on the 2.2 MZ6 but that was the pre-fl model.
Your review got me sold. I've got a Passat b8 and am thinking of getting a mazda 6. Would u do it?
I have driven both (B8 1.8TSI) and Mz6 2.0, the Mazda is very involving and intuitive feeling vs the Passat feeling very inert and numb despite being competent handling.
can you review the wagon one?
Hi bobby, mazda 6 2.0 or passat comfortline ?
Mazda 6.
Mazda 6 vs Camry 2019? Which one better?
Camry is cheap and loud. No comparison. Test drive both and connect you phone to the car
All i want is to be the first person commented on your vid. Good great. Now i will watch your review hewhewhew
It's that Mazda 6 has a 2.5cc engine
Interior nya macam Audi A4
Ok Bobby I'm sold to this car.. one last thing.. between the 2012 528i f10 (second hand) & the Mazda 6, Which is better in giving driving satisfaction in term of drivetrain and handling. Help me to choose between the two thank you in advance.
I personally would opt for the 5 series even though i know it will have more problems since already 7 year car, and it wont be as great a handling as the Mazda 6... but its a car from a different level of build .... and of course BMW's sophistication .... and power
What is the name of this paint color? Tks
it's called "machine grey".
8.50 i dont know what am look in to 😋
out handle so many car..... very worth it lor~
What is the fuel consumption like ?
Low. Negligible. Efficient.
On a motorway run I achieved 47.6 mpg two of the four cylinders switch off at steady speeds
Top speed???
Hi Bobby I would like you to advise me in getting my first car which I’m not sure either taking up a new Volkswagen Passat 2.0,Mazda 6 2.5 or TOP up a few more to get a official pre used bmw 530i 2018 from BMW. Thank you
Wow first car already looking for large sedan
Audio doesn't sync with the video
This reverse camera looks like after market one....
it's really long car, might be difficult to park in tight spaces
It's a D segment. What do ya think? haha
Out handles the A6,E class???
Yupe. Those cant dance up gohtong jaya the way this does
Thats a big claim indeed. Now im more interested about this car
Yes yes somebody already put it to the test on RUclips it's a Spanish Channel but the Mazda 6 out-performed Mercedes I believe they took it up to about 40 miles an hour and went through cones and the six went through like a breeze the Mercedes was sliding
Soundproofing really good? Don't think so.
This car is extremely quiet
I thought Mazda6 is a D segment car it should be compared within the segment
d sgement yes.. its rivaled camry, accord, 5 series and e class
This is 2018 version not 2019. Stop lies.
I have mazda 6 2.0 since 2014 November, my mazda just give me problems and problems and problems, even changed entire engine due to can't figure out the issue. I stop problem, lower arm boost never ending issue.. Gosshhh... 😢😢😢
need some luck when collect the car. sad case for you, man. =(
I know sometime based on luck but Mazda 6 is considered as luxury car segment. No matter how I complain they just asked me send back to mazda service center for checking and never ending checking .. It took me 3 years plus but problems still there. I bought a rm150k new car but its looks like 10 yrs old car. Totally fade up with Mazda. 😔
Very unfortunate i guess..mine has no problem so far and i bought exactly the same model 2.0, same month & year just like yours. Now i'm clocking 83K km++.
@@wanahmad7498 yes, I'm the bad luck guy. That's why I band mazda car forever..
Your story reminds me of my Honda. Sometimes, despite the reliability of a Japanese brand, we can still get a lemon.
Wow.. Missed the boat, nice legs 🤣
on an average looking lady..mehh
Not sold..not nice
Someone's in the car
Passat 2.0 for me
3rd
Oooh that legs. Why?... I just want to look at the car, not woman. There are many channels for that. 😕 Like the info though.
Why bro? Humans can control our urges and just view it as no big deal. Animals on the other hand can never control their programmed instincts. Chill, man. We're all better than that.
Are the pair of legs yours? It's not... so stop that holier than thou attitude... people have a freedom to dress in skirts, pants, jeans, shorts or whatever. Stop acting like an out of control caveman with no self control
wtf is wrong with bobby's legs???? wear short pants consider haram now???
@@jonathansslee I'm sure he meant the passenger... lol

Kawal pemikiran anda sendiri. Bobby bukannya review kaki. "I just want to look at the car" Kononnya
Nice car but useless cringe worthy review.
