2017 Mazda 6 Unboxing - The Perfect Family Sedan?
Рет қаралды 225,327
Күн бұрынToday's unboxing review is of one of our favorite mid-size sedans of all time, the 2017 Mazda 6. Currently in its third generation, the Mazda 6 represents the ideal combination of great styling inside and out, fantastic driving dynamics, and overall solid reliability. In fact, it may even be our top pick among mid-size family sedans. Yes, it's that good. Our tester is the fully loaded Grand Touring model, but all Mazda 6s come powered by the same engine, a 2.5-liter inline-four with 184 hp and 185 lb-ft of torque.
The base Sport and mid-range Touring trims are offered with either a six-speed automatic or a six-speed manual, which send power to the front wheels. The Grand Touring comes with the automatic only. Bummer. Anyway, Mazda has also equipped the 6 with some pretty cool in-house developed technologies, such as G-Vectoring Control, which makes turning corners even easier, and the I-ELOOP Regenerative Braking, which continuously recovers kinetic energy as the car decelerates and reuses it as electricity. Pretty cool, huh? But the best part is pricing, with prices starting off at ust $21,945. Like we said, the Mazda 6 is often considered to be perfect. Enjoy the review!

I'll take my 3.6 litre 6 cylinder any day of the week over this. Mazda had a sweet 6 cylinder in the 929 which was a beautiful car that looked like a Jaguar. They have never managed to repeat the quality of that vehicle. Even had solar air conditioning to keep the car cool when nobody was in it. It was far and away a nicer car years ago that what this mazda is.

Back in the day I had a 1966 GTO convertible and it went from 0-60 in 6 seconds flat. It had a 6.6 liter engine and 335HP. The Mazda 6 does it in 7.0. So there is that. Yeah, you won't have any macho bragging rights with a 2.5 liter four, but it gets the job done for 99% of today's drivers and conditions. I have a 2017 Mazda Grand Touring and I can say it handles like a dream and it is pretty sharp in and out. The wheels are crazy great. It is Midnight blue with light almost white Nappa Leather. Mazda calls it deep mica or something like that, but to me it is Midnight Blue! Not sure what my old GTO got in the way of MPG, because gas was only a quarter a gallon back then so no one was interested in gas mileage. The Mazda sips gas and at over $2.00 a gallon I guess it is a little important. The car had a $3000 rebate and the dealer deducted another $1200 so I paid a little less than $28,000 which is considered a bargain these days. Oh, yeah. My GTO was $3100 out the door. Times have change....

The car will easily get into the triple digits, which is lose your license territory. How fast does one need to go? In the week before I bought my 2017 6 I needed a car to drive around and the only one available (of course in January) was a 300 horsepower Mustang GT. That was a fun car to drive around - first time I drove a Mustang - but I really don't feel too hard done by with my 6. It definitely has adequate horsepower and it's a hoot to drive. The Mustang just didn't seem very civilized to drive every day. Maybe it's the way I drive, but I sense people's behavior change when I fly through in my 6. I've already had one person try to run me off the interstate, simply because I dared pass them. It's strange. The 6 is definitely attention grabbing no matter how you look at it.

My 2008 Mazda6 made it to 115,000 miles before the engine blew. It wasn't in the shop every 50,000 miles either. It was in the shop for fluid changes and tire rotations. And a brake job after 5 years.... I drove the hell out of it too. I'm taking my chances again with a 2017 Mazda6. If it lasts 8-1/2 years like the last one, I won't complain.

I still need to test the petrol 2 liter version with 145hp or 165hp to hear what all these 65mph max ;-) people are complaining about. I still don't get it now.

They will end up offering it when they have no choice. Once Kia starts releasing the cars such as the Stinger GT built on the Hyundai Genesis platform the Mazda is going to look like a very poor choice. That is happening this year too. They offer Rear wheel drive and All Wheel drive up to 6 cylinder twin turbo 0-100 in 5.1 seconds 270 + KW and 510 Torque with 5 setting Adjustable suspension from ex BMW Msport team member. Something the Mazda just can't offer as far as driving enjoyment as it's only front wheel drive with a paltry 4 cylinder engine and ordinary suspension. I never thought i would see a day where Korea would offer so much better than Japan. These GT sedans are also far more stylish than the Mazda, it makes the Mazda look ancient by comparison. IT's not just Mazda though , Subaru need to really lift their game too and Hurry up and release all cars on the new Global platform except of course the BRZ though that needs a Turbo engine badly.

The Sport is the basic 6. It's a very decent trim in its own right. The Touring has a few more options (sunroof, leatherette, BOSE system, larger wheels, LED lighting, more safety features, etc). The Grand Touring has more features still like heated mirrors, heated seats, a few more chrome touches, and HUD, and a few safety features that Touring doesn't have. I have the Touring. I got it for thousands off. I love it. I have a power moonroof, leatherette seats (which look/appear to be like real leather really), larger 19" wheels, and some cool safety features like blind spot monitoring and cross-traffic alert + BOSE system with 11 speakers. Honestly, the only things I wish I had were heated seats and LED headlights. But, I bought a 2017 6 with 11,000 miles on it for only $19k.... so that's good enough for me. I love the car. Had a 2008 Mazda6 for 8-1/2 years. Loved that car too. It's amazing how much further they've came in 10 years....

I currently own a 2006 Mazda3 and it has been a great car and it is really fun to drive. Is the Mazda6 worth the extra money over a Mazda3 and does it really have that much more room inside? I have the small engine in my *3* but would probably buy a new *3* with the 2.5
@fhm4 6 жыл бұрын
I haven't checked out the interior for the 3, but the main difference is sound deadening and highway comfort, I think. If you love the 3, go for another 3. I think 6 won't be an upgrade for you since it's also longer.. Personally, I want a mazda6 though. Hopefully, I can buy one soon.
@buchajo 6 жыл бұрын
There is a lot more room in the 6 than 3. Had a '10 Mazda3 in celestial blue for a few years and although that car was a hoot to drive it had no back seat. I mean literally... no space. The new 6.... lots of legroom in the back seat. Much roomier car.

Own the car for a few years and you can tell where they cut corners to be able to sell it for so cheap. Not enough sound deadening material, paint quality isn't holding up too well and certain things like my center console lid keeps coming loose so I have to keep taking the thing apart and readjusting the pins. Good looking car but it has it's short comings.

Great review! Your analysis of this vehicle is mostly spot-on. It looks FANTASTIC, however, having driven (2) examples of this vehicle there are a couple areas where the driving experience pales with the competition: interior noise and engine responsiveness. For this class of vehicle the interior sound insulation is lacking. To have such a great sporty-luxury interior and but then have to be subjected to the degree of road and guttural engine noise is out of character with the vehicle appearance. And again, given the sporty/luxury appearance of this vehicle the engine is far too unresponsive to throttle toe-in and sounds very unrefined as well. The turbo 4's in both the Malibu and the Fusion (2.0 turbo) are far more responsive, faster AND sound more refined than the 6. With a little better acoustical insulation and more oomph under the hood the 6 would outshine all the competition you noted. As much as I appreciated the look and feel of the Mazda 6 I chose the 2.0 Turbo Fusion SE over it and have no regrets.

The 2017 Mazda6 which I just bought has significantly more sound insulation... improved further for 2018. And the 2018 model has a turbo too... if you must have it. I mean I drive around doing 100 MPH+ in my 2017... but if that's not fast enough for you... then.... do what you have to do.

Top trim is not a bargain. $34k is what a BMW 325i cost in 2006. I know that this was 10 years ago, and I know that this car is nearly equal to a 2006 325i. BUT, this is a mainstream Japanese vehicle, and the purchasing power of the average person has not kept pace with this cost increase. I would suggest that the Touring model at ~27k is a far better value, albeit, still out of reach of many people. I currently own 3 BMWS. A 2000 528, a 2003 Z4, and a 2006 325i. I cannot afford this car.

One word: Inflation. Welcome to 2016 (almost 17), not 2006. By the way, the average new car price in the US right now is around $33,000. The Mazda6 Grand Touring's price tag is directly in line with its top trim rivals. But you bring up an interesting point...are mainstream cars getting too expensive? Perhaps.
@TheJeffcurran 7 жыл бұрын
@ Chris, You missed the point peckerhead. I'm coming from the school of a practical and sensible debt to income ratio of 28/36. $34k is a large amount of money for a mainstream (not premium brand) car. Assuming 20% down (cash or trade), you're financing ~29k after adding in taxes, fees, and titling. Assuming an average interest rate of 6% and term length of 72 months, that's $477.00 per month. Assuming an average gross income of $50k per year, you're looking at a debt to income ratio for the car alone at 11%. In case you're not familiar with the 28/36 rule, the 28/36 Rule states that a household should spend a maximum of 28% of its gross monthly income on total housing expenses and no more than 36% on total debt service, including housing and other debt such as car loans. Hence, my comment that the purchasing power of the average person has not kept pace with the ridiculous inflation in car prices. In this scenario, the Touring model at ~$27k is a far better value, and all you are sacrificing is a bunch of tech options that will be obsolete far before the car reaches it's life expectancy of 11.5 years.

And it retailed for $27-$28k (maybe more because it has the upgraded stereo and sunroof) just one year before???
