Ive had mine for 2months and love it. The engine is effortless, has all the features, interior is luxurious and the exterior is premium no fuss shape. Its no sports sedan but it does everything you need it to do
Although not the Signature, I love my 2020 Touring trim. The materials and quality blow the competition out of the water for the price, and it includes tons of standard safety tech. Not to mention the fact that it’s one of the best driving cars in the segment.
Zak M, that Camry with red interior is ugly! Looks tacky and desperate to make it look diff and sporty! Mazda does a better job with their interiors even if they apply a diff colour in the cabin...looks more elegant!
My dad has the dark blue 2018 Mazda 6 sport with the manual transmission and he LOVES IT. He says it’s amazing to drive, and for a base model, it has a lot of features.
I have owned 2 Mazda 6's and have been very happy with them. My last s 2007 Mazda 6i 5-door. Had over 166,000 trouble free miles and was made in Flat Rock, MI. I traded it in for a CX-5 Signature. If I wanted a sedan it would have been a Mazda 6 Signature. Mazda deserves higher sales. They should offer AWD and the wagon for sale in the USA.
Really upset we can't fly you guys out to California for a collab! Darn this virus! Lol Great job as always Drew & Mason, really like the Mazda 6 Signature!
Love this car too. The overall design inside and out is best in class I think. The only negative I see, is this particular interior color on the Signature. As someone who is colorblind, there just isn’t enough contrast in this brown/black combo. On the other hand, the Parchment/Black combo is extremely attractive, and really makes all the details in its design stand out. As a side note, this car can handle 255/35r20 tires on 20” rims and looks absolutely stunning. Thanks guys for another great review.
I too own a Mazda6 Grand Touring Reserve and love everything about it except one: That infotainment system is a bit of an eyesore and pretty dated. Its competitors, the Accord, Camry and Sonata, all have that infotainment screen sort of built into the dash, while on the Mazda the screen sits on top of the dash like some sort of after-market addon. Also, it's slow and doesn't offer touchscreen once you are moving. That big round knob on the center console you have to use when you are driving is a poor design choice. Having said that, the Mazda6 is luxurious, handles well, has nice acceleration, is quiet on the highway, and a joy to drive around.
The next Mazda 6 will be rear wheel drive with the inline 6 engine, im still trying to find out if its a inline turbo. But good 👍 review guys keep up the good work
I have a suggestion: you guys should suggest which trim is has the most bang for the buck or go and share how you would spec out your vehicle. Maybe have a rating system and keep track of specs of all different cars in the class and compare them in the respective parts Of the video. For example, Mason would have a little subtitle or diagram or something will all the legrooms in the class and where the car tested slots in. It could really add another notch to your already amazing reviews. Drew, to you regret not buying the Mazda 6? Stay safe and enjoy your day!
Thanks for the ideas! We're thinking hard about new ideas to implement during this downtime to make our reviews better! We appreciate it. As of now, I don't regret the decision and am very happy with the Model 3!
having spent the last 3 days here in lockdown researching vehicles, I 'd say go with the Grand Touring version of this. It goes slightly over 30k if you want navigation and the red paint, but you get the 250hp engine. I'm just not sure the upcharge to go signature is really worth it. nap wood and leather are nice, but just go to hobby lobby and throw some crafting materials in your trunk. you'll still get that exotic smell.
This iteration has been around so long, I'm sure it's bullet proof. I can attest, my '15 MZD3sGT 6spd manual has 140k on the odometer and it still drives out great.
There are majors problems with the Mazda 6 Signature. The red color NEVER needs waxing, this wastes all my waxes. This car NEVER breaks down so I miss my dealer. Too many people keep bothering me asking where did I get such a beautiful car. Finally, compared with my Cadillac CTS in gadgets the Mazda Signature is $50,000 less. Where am I going to spend all that savings? Oh, I forgot one other problem. I keep beating Mustangs, Chargers, Camaros, and Harleys off the stop light. This performance makes my tires squeel too much (watch those cops).
Not sure what your budget is but you can get a 2018 Grand Touring Trim for 19-23k slightly used. It’s 95% of the signature. Still has leather heated seats, turbo engine, LED lights, radar cruise control, sunroof, CarPlay.
If i were to get a Mazda MAZDA6 Signature, I would get the Machine Gray Metallic exterior with the Parchment Nappa Leather interior, because it is the best color combo in my opinion.
MAZDAS are HOT, they should be selling A lot better than their selling, but they had lost their momentum when the 2008 Economy crash happened. So, now they're in an uphill battle to gain and maintain traction, but they're on the Right Track. They just need to keep doing what their doing right now.
@19.07: The 2.5 litre turbo engine can run either premium gas (93 octane) or regular gas (87 octane). With premium gas, the engine outputs 250 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. With regular gas, the engine outputs 227 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. So a drop of 23 horses with no drop in torque if regular gas is used.
This was one of my top picks when car shopping a while back. I came away impressed with the Mazda style inside and outside. The interior was beautiful w the real wood and brown leather. That being said, I noticed the ergonomics were disappointing. The touchscreen locks out when you aren’t in park. Plus the Mazda6 had poor interior space due to it’s design and a small trunk. I also wasn’t a fan of the 360 camera quality and the hud was good but I didn’t think it was big enough. So ultimately I had to slice it off my list.
I love this car, and I love Mazda in general (all their cars are pretty good). 2:59 - Copying Volvo with the keyfob now? Okay then. I miss the old butterfinger bar-shaped keyfob now.
The Mazda6 is a beautiful vehicle. IMO it's the best looking entry in the mainstream midsize sedan category. And the Signature trim interior is impressive. But the competition in a shrinking market category is stiff, especially from the Honda Accord 2.0L (Touring) and the Camry NA V6 (XSE and TRD). Those looking for scalding performance from the "6" are likely to be disappointed even with the 2.5L turbo 4 banger. It's just not there in terms of straight line acceleration where the Mazda6 is almost a full second slower to 60 mph than the Accord with its detuned Civic Type R engine and the Camry's NA V6. The deficit stems from several factors. First, Mazda's aging 6 speed AT is quite adequate for daily driving but it trails the Honda's 10 speed and the Camry's 8 speed units both in terms of performance and fuel economy. Second, the turbo 4 in the Mazda offers a huge dose of torque but taking advantage of it in a FWD sedan is challenging. To prevent torque steer and wheel hop Mazda has tuned the "6" to limit power under hard acceleration. Finally, the "6" is heavy, especially compared to the Accord (3582 lbs curb weight vs 3428.) It's even 10 lbs heavier than the Camry with its V6 engine. The weight disadvantage has other effects. Mazda, of course, is known for the handling of its vehicles. But neither Honda nor Toyota have been standing still with their current generation models. The Accord's lighter weight and excellent suspension coupled with its remarkable Type R derived engine makes its handling near or equal to the Mazda. And the Camry, especially with the suspension options of the TRD model, is much the same. The bottom line is that the Mazda6 is in serious need of a generational update. Its infotainment system is dated, even compared to the system in the Mazda3. The sunroof is small and the interior and cargo space are cramped compared to the competition. As the smallest mainstream independent auto manufacturer on the planet Mazda faced major challenges in terms of keeping up with the opposition. Hopefully, they will find a way to do more than giving the Mazda6 an appealing shape and an upscale interior.
@@kevinW826 I've heard that. And it may help the anemic sales of the Mazda6. (21K units in 2019.) But as far as I know there is no estimate of the release date for that model. And even if I'm wrong, the extremely uncertain economic forecasts that are likely to be impacted by COVID-19 well into 2021 or 2022 may well upset those plans.
@Col. Douglas Mortimer That's one perspective. It applies equally well to the Swedish manufacturer Saab, a pioneer in both safety and offering small displacement high performance 4 cylinder turbo engines. You might have trouble finding a Saab, though. The firm was first absorbed by GM and then died altogether as a result of dismal sales.
I have a 2019 XC 5 GT Reserve with the same BOSE sound system and to hear its full brilliance you should play a piano concerto or symphony with the SIRIUS/XM satellite sound. Better by far than the Infinity QX 50 sound! HINT: Try pure 100 octane gas (empty tank 1st, then 1/2 fill up) and you WILL find power! But I pay $8.00 per gallon here in the Las Vegas valley so YMMV. This only works for the turbo engines. It is very apparent to me after using 100 octane gas that MAZDA has programmed its turbo-engined ECUs to take advantage of big octane gas. THANK YOU MAZDA!
14:30 when you are talking about 2.5 L no turbo vs turbo, don't forget to mention that no turbo generally means cheaper maintenance and better longevity. likely no turbo will have a better mpg. 2.5L regular engine on Mazda is not fast but plenty enough for the car. Of course, the turbo version is more torque, more HP, more fun. You should also check out windows' glass - just roll it halfway down and look at the edge. I believe modern upper-tier Mazdas have either double-pane glass windows or acoustically laminated glass windows... don't remember for sure which ones do and which don't. double pane glass makes a huge difference in cabin noise levels.
Beautiful car. I too considered this b4 choosing Stinger. I sat in the white interior and was totally in love. Turn offs for me were the inferior technology and function, not being able to use it while driving, utter garbage backup camera (at the time, idk if they've gotten better, mine was 2018). And it was just a smaller car so it was harder to get in and out of, and couldn't beat the Stinger's cargo capacity
Thank you Drew and Mason for keeping the videos coming during this COVID-19 pandemic. It would be interesting to see a video of what a day in life for y'all is like during the new pandemic lifestyle. How are y'all coping? Besides obvious uploads of videos to RUclips, what else do y'all find yourself doing to help past time? What do you miss most about pre-COVID-19 pandemic? Giving us some fun facts about each of you and what is each of your ultimate dream cars if money was not an issue. 😄
It's not a much better buy. It's preference. Some 6 owners want the turbo engine that's not available in the 3. Both the 3 and 6 are beautiful, just like every vehicle in their lineup.
@@rafaelortizsegura3636 That's why I said it's a preference. Some like myself may find the 6 a better deal, where you obviously think the 3 is a better deal for you. Nothing wrong with that. There's also this thing called leg room. I'm 6'1 and the 3 is just too small for me. Everyone gets to like what they like.
@@isaiahwhite7686 of course. Enjoy your 6. As you say, Mazda makes great cars. My first car ever was a 1982 Mazda 626, the precursor of the current 6. Since then, among other brands, all Japanese, there have been 4 other Mazdas in the family.
Mazda's new large vehicle architecture for the next gen 6, CX-5, and CX-9 won't be ready a few years. I also disagree comments about age. Mazda's 6-speed is very smooth and quick, and the interior is immediately noticably nicer than the Accord and Camry. I think people these days are too focused on having 10"+ touchscreens than the actual interior.
@@panzer_TZ Mazda's infotainment is laggy and less intuitive than most in the industry. It's almost a knockoff of BMW's 2015 I-Drive system (no touchscreen, rotary dial for input, etc.). 6 speed transmissions are less fuel efficient than the 8 and 10 speed transmissions found in Honda, Toyota, Hyundai/Kia products. Mazda's design language is still nearly best in class in my opinion though.
New Mazda 6 should be out in 2022 or 3 pending covid ... my tip will be rear wheel drive with the new in line 6 cylinder and 8 speed transmission .... just saying ... let’s see how it goes ... cheers
two questions: Does the metal piece on the seat hurt if you drive for long periods of time? How come the website says the signature model is coming soon and my dealerships actually don't have one
So the metal piece is recessed back and bit, so you don't feel it when sitting in the seat. And for your second question, they can be a rare to find, but if you wanted one I'm sure your local dealer could track one down
Can't stand it when the dealers put their gaudy and large metal emblem on the back of the car. Really detracts from the car's lines and why would I want to give you free advertising? pffttt On the new vehicles I have purchased, I have always told them in advance to take it off or I don't sign.
According to comments, the 6 sells well in Canada and Australia, while the CX5 sells moderately well in the US. The CX5 is the most popular sub compact SUV where I live.
@Havoc You don't have to take sh!t personal. Dude is entitled to his opinion. What if he doesn't want a Toyota or a Honda? Mazda has made junk in the past too! I tell you, some mother f*ckers are unbelievable.
Mazda after putting all the nice materials had to put piano black plastic on high traffic areas so it can ruin the whole look in 2 weeks. Why does any manufacturer do that?
AngryGOAT I like the CX5 for that reason. 62 Litre tank, same engine and transmission. Known reliability. In comparing the Subaru Crosstrek, it has the 62 Litre tank, more cargo space and no penalty for the gas mileage with AWD. The CX30 sadly suffers. I like the interior, but with me driving 400-500 kms a week, that zippo lighter gas tank isn’t going to get me anywhere.
There are many other better places, aesthetically and ergonomically, to put the stop/start button. It looks like a wart stuck up on the top of the dash....ruins the whole dash area, imo
Mazda spends a fortune in time and money making a car that looks beautiful, so a dealer can destroy it in five minutes by putting on the worlds ugliest and cheapest badge on the back. Must be a US thing, but I know in Australia if a dealer did that, they would cop a lot of abuse from customers and potential customers for disfiguring a car like that. It just never would be accepted. Anyway that dealer might want to save the money on badges to actually make his dealer showroom look half decent.
How ANNOYING, Turn Signal causes the Temperature (Hot/Cold) marking indicators to Flicker. 8 inch info display still appears to be small. I can hear road noise, the whine from the Turbo engine. Seen some shaking/ vibration while on test drive, so the suspension is firm as wobble shows up on the cam video recorder. During the test drive did not show us the HUD heads-up display. It is not a quiet car nor luxury since able to feel the road bumps or uneven road surface. Going to get the 2020 Toyota Camry XSE V6 instead, maybe Camry TRD model it'll crush the Mazda 6. Only a small size single person would get a Mazda 3 which seem to have more going for it than the Mazda 6. No wonder Mazda having difficult time selling and Mazda depreciates faster in value. Note: 2017 Mazda 6 body style is sharpe, appealing and Sporty. In 2018, 2019 and 2020 Mazda made the front end look like a chunk of trash. Also the Info/ entertainment, Nav display should be mounted in the center just below the dashboard. It looks as though there is a Sore Thumb sticking up with the display up so high. More things to go wrong with those Shifter Paddles mounted on the steering column. Maybe Mazda should go back to the 626. Skip the b.s. $995 destination fee. The dealer has it on their lot and it is their fee .. passing the buck so don't fall for it.
@ 2:39 look at the rear wheels fender. how it has that wideround. around the top tires !! that's where the look of that awesome vehicle get my eye painful feeling .everytime i see it !! it does need either wider tires or just an inch spacer to push them wheels out. for a 19 inch wheels they look way too small for the wide fender. this mistake is Japanese exterior designer bad habits !! even that when they mak concept . they don't make that mistake. so what the hell happened in production. ??!
Mazda is one of the most underrated manufacturers out there.
@Deepak Sundaresan Ramanathan Drives better
@Deepak Sundaresan Ramanathan not only dies it drive better, it LOOKS better and the material are a better quality. I have the 2018 model. Love it.
Yes.Is it better.
Better than a BMW I think.
Deepak Sundaresan Ramanathan WAY WAY better.
Ive had mine for 2months and love it.
The engine is effortless, has all the features, interior is luxurious and the exterior is premium no fuss shape.
Its no sports sedan but it does everything you need it to do
310lb torque and it's not a sport sedan? ok
Although not the Signature, I love my 2020 Touring trim. The materials and quality blow the competition out of the water for the price, and it includes tons of standard safety tech. Not to mention the fact that it’s one of the best driving cars in the segment.
DC lmao I wouldn’t say blows them out of the water, the Avalon has a great quality interior
Zak M Avalon is in the large-car class, with a much higher price tag compared to the Mazda6
DC the I think the red leather Camry interior beats this honestly

Hmmm. You could buy a base Tesla Model 3 Standard Range for about the same price.
Maybe this would be cheaper after dealer discounting though.
How does the turbo engine stand up over time?
Thank you Drew and Mason for keeping the videos coming during this COVID-19 pandemic. It would be interesting to see a video of what a day in life for y'all is like during the new pandemic lifestyle. How are y'all coping? Besides obvious uploads of videos to RUclips, what else do y'all find yourself doing to help past time? What do you miss most about pre-COVID-19 pandemic? Giving us some fun facts about each of you and what is each of your ultimate dream cars if money was not an issue. 😄
That's what we're here for! And thanks for the cool ideas, hopefully we can give you guys an inside look!
The Mazda 3 hatchback in premium trim is a much better buy for the money. Most of the luxury features found in the 6. I have one and love it!
It's not a much better buy. It's preference. Some 6 owners want the turbo engine that's not available in the 3. Both the 3 and 6 are beautiful, just like every vehicle in their lineup.
@@isaiahwhite7686yes, but I wouldn't pay $5k for a turbo engine. That's why I think a loaded 3 is a better buy.
@@rafaelortizsegura3636 That's why I said it's a preference. Some like myself may find the 6 a better deal, where you obviously think the 3 is a better deal for you. Nothing wrong with that.
There's also this thing called leg room. I'm 6'1 and the 3 is just too small for me. Everyone gets to like what they like.
@@isaiahwhite7686 of course. Enjoy your 6. As you say, Mazda makes great cars. My first car ever was a 1982 Mazda 626, the precursor of the current 6. Since then, among other brands, all Japanese, there have been 4 other Mazdas in the family.
When will the redesign take place? Although it’s very luxurious it is a bit dated.
That interior along with its 6 spd transmission is getting old
According to the information that's out there we should see something in the next two years, Mazda have big plans for this car.
Mazda's new large vehicle architecture for the next gen 6, CX-5, and CX-9 won't be ready a few years. I also disagree comments about age. Mazda's 6-speed is very smooth and quick, and the interior is immediately noticably nicer than the Accord and Camry. I think people these days are too focused on having 10"+ touchscreens than the actual interior.

Mazda's infotainment is laggy and less intuitive than most in the industry. It's almost a knockoff of BMW's 2015 I-Drive system (no touchscreen, rotary dial for input, etc.). 6 speed transmissions are less fuel efficient than the 8 and 10 speed transmissions found in Honda, Toyota, Hyundai/Kia products. Mazda's design language is still nearly best in class in my opinion though.
New Mazda 6 should be out in 2022 or 3 pending covid ... my tip will be rear wheel drive with the new in line 6 cylinder and 8 speed transmission .... just saying ... let’s see how it goes ... cheers
two questions: Does the metal piece on the seat hurt if you drive for long periods of time? How come the website says the signature model is coming soon and my dealerships actually don't have one
So the metal piece is recessed back and bit, so you don't feel it when sitting in the seat. And for your second question, they can be a rare to find, but if you wanted one I'm sure your local dealer could track one down
Sorry guys, I have the 20 Anniv. Edition and the audio is a mess! I wonder Mazda never fixed this. In every other way a great car.
Is the turbo engine reliable?
I can't believe that on a car at this price point they don't have passenger lumbar adjustment!
They do
How many times is this guy gonna say " PREMIUM " 😋 good review though
Can't stand it when the dealers put their gaudy and large metal emblem on the back of the car. Really detracts from the car's lines and why would I want to give you free advertising? pffttt On the new vehicles I have purchased, I have always told them in advance to take it off or I don't sign.
Beautiful Mazda ❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍
I don’t see too many of them driving around here. I see more of the MX-5.
No matter how nice they are they still don’t sell
Well
So? Then go buy one. I have cars that not many people have and get compliments all the time.
Who cares? Buy what you like not based on sales numbers...makes you sound like a sheep if you buy just based on sales!
According to comments, the 6 sells well in Canada and Australia, while the CX5 sells moderately well in the US. The CX5 is the most popular sub compact SUV where I live.
@@ztekz that's a good one😂😂😂💪
@Havoc You don't have to take sh!t personal. Dude is entitled to his opinion. What if he doesn't want a Toyota or a Honda? Mazda has made junk in the past too! I tell you, some mother f*ckers are unbelievable.
Mazda after putting all the nice materials had to put piano black plastic on high traffic areas so it can ruin the whole look in 2 weeks. Why does any manufacturer do that?
Nick S nothings perfect
MAZDA 6HAS A BEAUTIFUL DESIGN AND QUALITY.DESIGN FROM ALFA ROMEO AND TECHNOLOGY FROM MAZDA.
That tiny little center console....this will hurt sales...also, cup holders don’t need sliding cover...
Give me the cx-30 with a turbo, damn it!
AngryGOAT give me the cx30 with a bigger gas tank, not the one from the cx3
@@kevinW826 yeah, that too!
AngryGOAT I like the CX5 for that reason. 62 Litre tank, same engine and transmission. Known reliability. In comparing the Subaru Crosstrek, it has the 62 Litre tank, more cargo space and no penalty for the gas mileage with AWD. The CX30 sadly suffers. I like the interior, but with me driving 400-500 kms a week, that zippo lighter gas tank isn’t going to get me anywhere.
Mazda Zoom ZoomZoomZomm 😍😍😍😍💓💓💓👍👍👍
Does metal on the new MAZDA 6 also rust quickly?
No,after 2012
I hate that u guys don’t do the gas tank rage anymore
Cool car..
There are many other better places, aesthetically and ergonomically, to put the stop/start button. It looks like a wart stuck up on the top of the dash....ruins the whole dash area, imo
You mean like ford stuck theirs on top of the dash?
Love the car, hate the piano black plastic.
This or the Genesis G70?
Mazda spends a fortune in time and money making a car that looks beautiful, so a dealer can destroy it in five minutes by putting on the worlds ugliest and cheapest badge on the back. Must be a US thing, but I know in Australia if a dealer did that, they would cop a lot of abuse from customers and potential customers for disfiguring a car like that. It just never would be accepted. Anyway that dealer might want to save the money on badges to actually make his dealer showroom look half decent.
Please review the Hyundai ioniq
Great review, just cut back on the "you know"
Throw awd in there and this sedan will dominate the market
Am I the only one getting volumn control problem...
boringgggg we’re in 2020 already when will they change this old design?!!
If I'm going to go out in some end of the world armageddon type stuff, choosing the 6 not the camry.
Mazda is not available in India...Why Mazda ....Why ??? ...Pls come to India😶😶😶😶😶😶😶
Mazda cars drop in value very fast .
I don't mind. Got my 6 Signature with 3K miles for
@@jimharris7184 why do you think mazda cars drop in value so fast ?
hate the LCD display sitting on dashboard
AGREED!
How ANNOYING, Turn Signal causes the Temperature (Hot/Cold) marking indicators to Flicker. 8 inch info display still appears to be small. I can hear road noise, the whine from the Turbo engine. Seen some shaking/ vibration while on test drive, so the suspension is firm as wobble shows up on the cam video recorder. During the test drive did not show us the HUD heads-up display. It is not a quiet car nor luxury since able to feel the road bumps or uneven road surface. Going to get the 2020 Toyota Camry XSE V6 instead, maybe Camry TRD model it'll crush the Mazda 6. Only a small size single person would get a Mazda 3 which seem to have more going for it than the Mazda 6. No wonder Mazda having difficult time selling and Mazda depreciates faster in value. Note: 2017 Mazda 6 body style is sharpe, appealing and Sporty. In 2018, 2019 and 2020 Mazda made the front end look like a chunk of trash. Also the Info/ entertainment, Nav display should be mounted in the center just below the dashboard. It looks as though there is a Sore Thumb sticking up with the display up so high. More things to go wrong with those Shifter Paddles mounted on the steering column. Maybe Mazda should go back to the 626. Skip the b.s. $995 destination fee. The dealer has it on their lot and it is their fee .. passing the buck so don't fall for it.
Horrible warranty. I drive a lot for work about 35k a year.
If only it had AWD!
Mazda, y u do dis?
What’s going on RUclips?
deja la pelicula bb esa yo la vi por TNT ... o h yaya
@ 2:39 look at the rear wheels fender. how it has that wideround. around the top tires !! that's where the look of that awesome vehicle get my eye painful feeling .everytime i see it !! it does need either wider tires or just an inch spacer to push them wheels out. for a 19 inch wheels they look way too small for the wide fender. this mistake is Japanese exterior designer bad habits !! even that when they mak concept . they don't make that mistake. so what the hell happened in production. ??!
First?
Yep you got it!
Interior looks cheap.
Compared to what? It’s much better than the superb and insignia and not in the price range of a4/c/3
