youre kidding right? its not

pat mahiney what is?

you mean period or in the price range?

thank*reason We liked it better than the more expensive Lexus, Infiniti, Accord, and the testers do too. Most bang for the buck. Amazing brakes and suspension, peppy, quiet engine, comfortable. Character of a car costing twice the price.

***** jus bought one on friday... am i winning?? lol

Shit man, it's his opinion. Satellite radio is a must-have for many people and they don't want to go to the top-of-the-line trim level. Also blind spot monitoring is for people who can't drive. Its not hard to check your blind spots, people need to stop relying on this tech to steer you back in a lane, or brake for you when a pedestrian steps out, or to parallel park for you. If you can't do those tasks on your own, you should NOT have your license.

Brandon Friesen I can drive without all the tech that people want these days, and quite well. However, the technology that this in cars these days can be useful when you may accidentally lose concentration and you drift out of your lane. Now, don't get me wrong, I like his reviews, but it irks me how nit-picky he is. Every single car he reviews, he always calls out the manufacturer for not making the glove compartment better. Honestly, I could care less whether my car's glove compartment is damped, lined with felt, of big. I am not buying this car for the glove box, I am buying it for the space and the handling. Yes, it is his opinion to have radio over safety features, but if you'd rather have the radio, then you have no choice but to get a higher trim level. If you don't want to shell out the extra cash for it, then you should find a different car with everything you want for a low price.

Nicholas P I do agree, he is super picky. Its a terrible car if the dashboard has the wrong graining. Anyways, to me, all these driving technologies are good. My grandmother can't back up and yea a backup camera and parking sensors would be good for her. But you shouldnt depend on technologies to do your job as a driver. One day, it'll all go wrong(especially on Fords these days) and there will be a BIG crash.

I agree. Ford's tech is not the best in the business. However, backup cameras can be useful, especially on large vehicles like suburbans or Land Rovers, but if you need a backup camera on a Ford Fiesta, you really shouldn't be driving.

it's his personal opinion LOL though, he's not saying the car sucks because it doesn't have satellite radio hahaha

Same here, I love my 06 speed 6...

Mark Calica I honestly want to buy a mazdaspeed6. You don't find that kind of power in a accord or a camary lol. I love mazda i even love my 00 mazda 626 that is what the mazda 6 replaced back in 04 xD in case you didn't know but im sure u did

Of course I do, major gearhead here...

Excellent and a true and loyal mazda fan :D

@@TomDeVitoI own a speed6! they’re majestic and fantastic cars! the only major cost is the VVT every 100k miles! which is only 1500$! worth the money! I choose Mazda over Subaru, Toyota and Honda! reliable fast luxurious

Yeah. We walk into the dealer and they had 4 of them. Nice car. Bought the 8/100K warranty too.

***** Just got me a 2015 last week

I'm thinking of getting the i touring as well. what option did u get and how much did u got your car for, if you don't mind me asking.

You're telling me. I saw one on the highway the other day and did a double-take. I just wish they made an all wheel drive model with either a turbo or V6.

Vortex1988 It would be great if they made a gt version....awd, three hundred HP, upscaled the interior slightly... Would be a segment changer

I'd love to see that. If that never happens, I'll probably just end up getting a WRX though.

Vortex1988 I like the new still, except for the wing. I wish they had an option for a powered rear spoiler similar to the Audi TT. The big fixed wing is too boy racer for me at my age.

can i taste your special brown beef?

In Canada can get the 6 speed in the Grand Touring model.

and just bought mazda 6 2014 :-)

Congratulations, may it be better than your previous one :)

Ioannis Gazis What color did you pick?

Thank you very much, I pick the red one, exactly same as in this video. Did 10.000 Km within two months and is just amazing. Most of was long trips more than 6-7 hrs drive. Very pleasant and relaxing

The early 2000s Mazda 6 looked so sexy. I was in High School and I said, 'im buying this car when I get older' but the car did change and it doesn't really align with my tastes now... but it looks and feels much nicer than accord, altima and the ever reliable, boring (like a parent) camry

Thanks for the feedback! We'll make sure and keep you guys coming back to us again :). Glad we could help you make an informed decision!

how has your Mazda 6 treating you?

+Redline Reviews Please give me some advise, I've always been Honda guy , bc they can last 200,000miles/10yrs without much problems, and the reliability question on mazda 6 is only thing I worry about...how is mazda 6 long term reliability?...

Mazda is a hidden gem.

+Jitin Misra Since they stopped using Ford engines things can only get better for Mazda in my opinion

Hi, I'm thinking of going for Sport SE with 19 Inch alloy. Do you have these and how is the drive ?

I am a Ford person and I have never liked four cylinder motors and never will because they are not reliable like a V6 is and I hate it that ford is making all of their cars with a four cylinder motor now

fetchmonster7 Kinda showing your age. But four cylinder motors have been plenty reliable for years now. Granted some of the "TURBO" emphasis on turbo there, have been known to be go bad, but thats after thousands of miles, and most often due to bad fuel and improper maintenance. If it says use premium use it, as with all synthetic fluids. FORD ecoboost motors are excellent btw.

First of all, we have roads with speed limits of 80 mph in some places of the US. That would be the same as having a road with a speed of 129 km/h. Even with the "standard" speed limit in the US of 70 mph, most people will drive 75mph. The police know this, and are comfortable allowing someone to do this speed. Here's the question. At those speeds, are you going to have enough power in your vehicle to maneuver out of a bad situation? Not all situations can be prevented by braking, as some times you need to step on the gas and get out of the way of an idiot. That, my dear compadre, is why we need the power. Other countries don't drive as fast, because they are very small in size compared to the US.

BlackMarketHumour in Texas, people will pass you when you're already going 80 in a 60 mph speed limit

BlackMarketHumour Thats why you buy a turbo charged diesel car,something that is finally slowly penetrating the u.s. market. When you take over someone you just push the throttle and feel the pleasure of torque!

You don't need turbo or V-6 to break the speed limit. I've never had trouble getting speeding tickets with my stock '05 Focus. Don't think I could afford getting a car that was actually "fast." :-P

American's and most people think they want Horsepower when in reality, it's Torque they need.

That'd be a segment jumper, haha. Who knows, maybe they'll introduce a Mazdaspeed version and you'll get your wish... I'm personally waiting for the diesel.

diesel coming soon, 300+ ft.lbs. torque

Youbones Diesel in 2016 rumoured to be 48 volt with the emissions controls that don't require regens or hurt fuel economy. Read that: Rumoured, but the rumour is gaining traction.

I was leary of diesel but we have a 2015 DMax and it's great. Diesel Mazda might just be amazing.

True . To make this a true sports car it needs more ooomph

lol sucks for your guys

How many miles do you have? My dad is looking for a midsize sedan. He likes the Passat, Fusion and 6. Good idea on babying it. Break-ins can be a nightmare(can't use cruise control, can't do high revs, can't do full throttle accelerations etc.) but they will pay off when your motor runs 100% every day. I had a friend who had a 2011 Civic Si. He thought the break in period was irrelevant and was done at the factory so he didn't have to worry despite the dealer warning him. He revved the nuts off it all the time. After 6 months, he had 11,000 miles on it and it started burning oil, knocking on idle, and took multiple seconds to crank. Now? Its in the junk yard. Poor thing couldn't cope.

TheLifeOfCars what about 4 years later?

What about a 4.5 years?

Have a 2014 Mazda 6 with 363,451 miles right now. Runs and drives like a top

6 years later too 😃

7 years later?

beachbum0014 Well I know if you click the button without holding the brake the dash lights come on and the chime comes on that's all I know I haven't tried to do accessories. I know in our car we just click the radio on and the radio turns on but it's varies on whatever car you would get.

Is it a lot diff than the 14 model?
