As an owner of a Mazda6 I can say why I didn't think of buying it earlier. I thought Mazda to be more luxurious, more expensive cars, so really impractical. If not for my wife asking "And what about Mazda?" and me then looking into their actual prices, taking a test drive and so on - I would probably have bought a Kia or even some basic Audi, thinking Mazda to be too cool for me.
@williamlong2682 4 жыл бұрын
Mazda’s like the Volvo of the mass market - the smaller automaker doing their own thing, punching above their weight, and not running in circles chasing the competition. Beautiful, unique, luxurious, and tailored for a special kind of buyer looking for something different. Love what they’re about.

A KZfaq Channel with no name Eh, they’re different flavors. Volvos are for people who want an amazing understated luxury car, and Mazdas are for people who want beautiful design and driving characteristics for the price. Volvo’s are more luxurious and better put together than Mazdas are, but you definitely pay for it. I would definitely agree that Mazdas are a better bang for your buck deal than Volvos are, but one isn’t necessarily much better than the other as a whole.

This awful high praise for a 8 year old platform. But I love mine and it really took time for me to pick up all the generous considerations made to the driver. Breakaway pedals for safety, all 4 window controls are automatic, the display placement to help keep your eyes on the road, media controls you don't need to look at, and paint you don't get tired of looking at. I hope they get the recognition they deserve.

Great video! We've been a Mazda owner since '98 (626, B-3000, 2 Tributes) and just got my wife a '21 CX-5. When we got my wife's 626, I was not a Mazda fan until I drove that car. Then she couldn't keep me out of it. I leased the B-3000 truck for 3 years and it was okay, but then she bought a 2001 Tribute. We argued over who was going to drive that one, so I bought one in 2002 when my truck lease was up. We still have both Tributes and her '01 is just starting to have some mechanical issues, but it is 20 years old. Not bad and I think we definitely got our money's worth out of it. I absolutely love the cars. While we were looking at her CX-5, I nosed around the lot until I found the Mazda6. That will possibly be my next car in a couple of years.

I bought my 2018 Mazda 6 two years ago. This is one of those cars where it truly does indeed transcend the spec sheets, its more than the sum of its parts, all those cliche' phrases. The engine doesn't rev much, but it also doesn't need to. It's always very responsive feels way more like a V6 than other turbo 4s that I've driven. I love looking at cars and still watch Topher a lot, but my Mazda has never left me wanting for more, even after I came from a manual 2012 Buick Regal GS tuned to 300+ hp when I bought it.

@TheTropher, top notch presentation. I have a question for you, today I test drove an Accord Ex-L. I like everything with it except the driver and passenger seats, the seats are very low(guess Honda make them for sporty sitting) but I feel difficult to get out of an Accord driver seat and the same with passenger seat and even when I am getting inside. I test drove 20 Camry-SE and It was easy for me and didn't feel same way. How does the Mazda feel of seats like getting out/in of car? I am planning to test drive a Mazda 6 coming this weekend.
