    35 for a quick 2.5T with Mazda premium feel, ride quality & reliability is Fantastic.

    A balanced package and the review I have been waiting for. I must have missed it if you said, but what fuel octane was in the 6 during this test. It might make a diffrrence in 0-60 time.

      @M4B21S88 5 лет назад

      I'm the type of person that questions things that anyone can post online (sometimes people lie - such as claiming stock when not). This is a car that runs high 14s - low 15s 1/4 mile and 6.3 - 6.7+ 0-60 depending on octane. I question the credibility of anyone claiming to run a 14 flat (almost) 1/4 mile in stock form, 1 sec doesn't sound like a lot, but there is a good gap between a 14 sec car and a 15 sec car. Even if weather was favorable during such runs, turbos particularly, love colder weather, I'd still question it. I own a '16 ecoboost mustang and American Muscle did a baseline 1/4 mi run to test the BAMA tune on a '15 EB mustang during cold weather. On the stock run, they got 13.64 1/4 mile (with the tune installed the car did a 12.98sec, btw). '15-'17s are rated at 13.9 sec stock. So while the favorable weather did help get a lower time, it was not a dramatic 1 full second reduction. I highly doubt that those running 14 flat are 100% stock, as claimed.
      In the example I gave, the colder weather AND TUNE helped the mustang run a full second quicker than what they are rated at.

      @@M4B21S88 There is a guy who owns one here on youtube. I have seen his videos. He is running 14.0-14.2 at 98mph stock in his. I was surprised as well but I have seen the proof. I am guessing he is running 93 octane and has had experience running it many times to achieve those numbers.

      a car with only 250 crank hp (on 93 octane) but has a weight of 3600 lbs, wont have a flat 14 sec 1/4 mile.
      Unless, its a cold night...
      I own a ‘16 EB mustang and on a cold night it can run 13.64 sec.
      I can tell you right now im 100% (which i am) then go to the track and run mid 13s on a regular day (80s temp+). Trust me, it wouldnt be stock if i was running 13.6 on a regular. A tune is all you need to make turbo cars go fast. Im sure this guy has a tune and probably a tire mode, for sure.
      Honda accord 2.0t has a 14 sec run in stock form. Its makes the same hp as the mazda6 but it is 250 lbs lighter and has a 10speed.
      Just saying, ppl lie.
      Most are in the 14.8- 15.5 , on a good run.

      @@M4B21S88 Hey, I run at the track all the time and understand What you are talking about, but I have not seen one of those vehicles Dyno, so maybe it is underrated. They do make 310 torque crank which is much stronger than the accords 272-lb of torque. I'm just saying that I've seen it with my own eyes. There have not been many running up the track and I don't trust magazine times as my times are much quicker than what the magazine shows for my fusion. Either way it's cool to see one hit low 14s. Who knows

      J30A4V6er im not debating whether you go to the track or not.
      Do You know how much torque a semi trucks make? A shit ton.
      Torque is the force that propels a car forward, HP is what keeps it moving fast , or slow, depending on how much it makes.
      Yes, the mazda makes 40 lb/ft more torque, but its also 250 lbs heavier, it kind of needs it, as opposed to the much lighter accord..
      The mazda keeps its torque figure even on 87 octane but yet is slower to 60 than the accord.
      HP and weight would assist more in a 1/4 mi run.
      Im just questioning how would it be possible, in stock form, for a much heavier mazda6 with identical HP on 93 octane , to run the same 14.2 sec as an accord runs.
      Even my car, similar in weight as the mazda 6, runs a 13.9 , under good conditions, but has an additional 60 hp...
      So yeah, i find it hard to believe if you ask me.
      Im pretty sure the mazda its not being underrated. It makes about 215-220 on 93 to the wheel.

How are diesel fuel prices in your area? They’re through the roof here in NJ. Hopefully they will get better quickly this spring.

      ​@@daphenom45 Yes, i am. Mazda's 2 liter can easily make 250hp which would be plenty for the Mazda 6.
      Ford uses a mazda-derived 2.0 in the ecoboost turbo and gets better fuel efficiency. That engine is in a lot of cars, especially in Europe, and makes up to 250hp.
      I'm just saying Mazda could have done better if Ford is working with a copy of their engine design.

      ​@@neptronix This vehicle has a 2.5 turbo, not a 2.0 - Ford is working with a Mazda L-series engine block for their 2.0/2.3 EcoBoost engines. The only thing they share is the block itself, that's it. Everything else is different. Mazda's 2.0 and 2.5 (NA & Turbo) are in no way related to the L-series. Mazda can do better in theory, absolutely
      However, they are an incredibly small automanufacturer compared to Ford, Toyota, Honda, VW, and even Mitsubishi. They have to stick with a tried-and-true approach when planning their next vehicles because of that budgetary constraint. The new SkyActiv-X powertrains seem promising, although they have not made their way over here to the U.S. yet.
