Was thinking the same thing

Hahaha me too. I love it

Right lol.

Same💀😂😂

Been a few years, you still love it? I’m thinking about buying it

thats an average of over a 100 mph haha. you must be an insane driver in the twisties, glad everyone made it man!

You forgot for a decent price also!

Have the 2016 one for 2 years. Still love driving it each day! Such a fun car!

Nathan5791 Great to hear! I'm getting 30 mpg combined driving as well. It really is a fun car.

Yooooo post a video of it once it’s done!!!!! Would want to know how it works so I can do the same!!! Good luck bro

Forrest's Auto Reviews It is Blue Reflex. I'm currently building an upgraded sound system on it and will have videos later.

Lanson Floyd I was going about 80mph and forgot to brake, g-vectoring kicked in and it was smooth as whipped butter. Looked in my rearview mirror the closet car was about a half a mile back. So yes it works

Lanson Floyd. Does $13,000. Seem a good price for a 2016 sport with 60k ?

@@forrestsautoreviewsofficial the just don't bring it in US :(

I'd agree with that. I have 2012 and a 2020 Mazda 6 wagon. The earlier car is a better daily steer as the new car has been tuned within an inch of its life for fuel economy and the electric steering is much lighter and has less feedback. The result of all this is it feels sluggish and sometimes just not that engaging to drive. You have to put the car in sports mode and adjust your driving to enjoy it. The standouts for the newer car are the interior upgrade in materials and features, quieter cabin, much smoother ride and much improved LED headlights. Downsides are lack of driver engagement in normal mode, its harder to get in and out of thanks to a more sloping windscreen, ordinary entertainment unit and the default fuel economy tuning just dulls the car. I wish Mazda had a third setting for the engine where you could dial the fuel economy emphasis back a bit to make it more like the old car, without having to go to sport mode. Overall my 2012 is the better drivers car. The one thing both have in common is they are better equipped, have better materials in the cabin and are better value then the equivalent CX-5 models!

​@@WorksOnMyComputerhave you tried turning off traction control? It doesn't actually fully disable it. But I've noticed it's a tad quicker and stiffer overall in turning. But not as dramatic like when in sport mode. Their G vectoring just interferes too much in normal mode unless you're real careful and specific with the inputs.

Unfortunately, we would never know. Turbo is on the way.

I wouldn’t don’t that it will still be slow

Mr. Mazda A V6 would make it more front heavy which will create more understeer. It would be quicker but the handling would be sacrificed. Better to just ad a turbo which wont affect the balance as much

Johnny Walker exactly

Was announced recently that the 2.5 turbo will be on the 6 from next year :D

I was thinking of a simple sound meter app will do, I would like to have some general numbers. I read an article today about Mazda making the key safety features standard in their 2018 line up (except for the Miata). I hope they will add more sound insulation like the 2017 CX-5 for the 2018 models.

I bought one this past weekend. It is very quiet. No idea of decibels but comparable to any car in it's class. We test drove all of them. It has a firm ride without being harsh. Definitely inspires handling confidence. The Bose audio system is a pretty good upgrade over standard. It should be an excellent cruising car.

What's your typical MPG ? I heard most of the cabin noise from Mazda cars is due to the tires they are using. I noticed the Mazda 6 now has $2500 customer cash + $500 labor day cash + ($500 loyal) -- I think it's possible to get at 2017 Mazda 6 Touring Mica Pearl out the door for $19,000 :)

I'm not exactly sure on the MPG. It is my wife daily driver so I am not driving it as much as her. I did check out the instant MPG readout while we were on the highway and it looked like we were in the mid to upper 30s with the cruise on. Obviously city driving will be less MPG. Let me put it this way. We traded in a 2009 Ford Focus with 135 hp. Now we are getting similar MPGs in larger car with 50 more hp. That's pretty incredible to me. The driving experience and comfort level are also night and day between the two cars. The leatherette seats are nice and I wouldn't know they weren't real leather if it wasn't pointed out to me. As a bonus it seems that leatherette may be more durable and easier to clean than leather. As far as the noise, I would suggest that you just go drive one and decide for yourself. If you fall in love with the car but it's just too noisy (which I think is unlikely) you could have some Dynamat installed underneath the front carpet. The customer cash can vary depending on what your location. I will tell you that I was thinking we might have to get the base model but due to the customer cash and the fact that the car had been damaged in a hail storm back in April (which was 100% fixed and undetectable) we were able to upgrade to a red Touring with moonroof and bose system. Bottom line, the Mazda 6 is equal to or greater than any car in it's class. If you like it and can get a deal on it that you are comfortable with you won't be screwing up buying one.

I heard leatherette (pleather) will be unconformable to sit on during the summer months (it can get up to 120 around here in the desert). Leatherrete does not breath like leather/perforated leather/cloth so it will be hot and you will be sweating unless you have the AC on full blast all the time.

Civic is to be compared against Mazda3, not Mazda6.

Civic is compared to Mazda 3. Mazda 6 is comparable to Accord. Having owned both, Mazda 6 is way better no comparison. Better engine, better driving dynamics, better interiors, better styling. Civic is great as well, but it isn't in the same category as Mazda 6

Freak Nasty The new 2017 x tronic cvt is better than this automatic transmission..this car is slow..

Freak Nasty someone said that tranny is better than cvt..so i said the new xtronic cvt is better compare this automatic trans..and its true that car mazda 6is slow..its good for everyday family driving..

Thanks I've seen those great reviews also. I guess I'm wondering how the Accord compared in body control and turning feel compared to the Mazda in your opinion? I had an Accord a few years ago and I felt was very lacking in steering feel but I'm wondering if that's changed now. Thanks!

John Grabowski Mazda made an effort to reduce the cabin noise. For the underpowered statement I haven't driven the '16 for comparing but it seems fine to me.

You should test drive the 2017 Mazda6 GT. Then you can understand why it's much better than 2016 counterpart.

Turbo and AWD versions are coming for 2018 for Mazda6.

Link?

I have 2016 Accord with 44k miles never went dealer.Have friends and relatives Honda over 150k miles ,still drive great.My BMW 550i live at dealer.

before I got my 2017 Mazda6 GT with Premium Package, I drove my 2005 Mazda6 GT V6 for 467,000 km. I expect my new car to last longer.

Time will tell

Hard to determine that. Over the past year or two, multiple sources have proven that Hondas are having a drop in reliability, but time will tell that for sure. I think they are both pretty reliable

Its Japanese so it shall not be a big different. I owns several Mazda's in the past because i like the brand and its quality. And they are still drive big liter engines. I drive now a Mazda 6 2.5l GH and for sure im gonna wait for this new type Mazda 6.

No

In The EU we've had hatch and estate models for years.

Yes.new 2017 $18K +tax

It has the 2.5L (3's come with either the 2.0 or 2.5L)

Stick shift available?

Tony Morris yes

Tony Morris well, at least it is in Canada on all trims.

Thomas Folse Yeah I hate when ppl say it’s underpowered. When my 2014 Mazda6 was stock it did 0-60 in 6.9. Internet says 7.4. Don’t always believe the internet lol I did it twice and even more and kept getting 6.9/7.0. And now I upgraded with an intake and exhaust and performance chip and I’m making over 200hp and getting a tune soon too. Now the 0-60 is even faster (haven’t timed it yet).

This car is a 2017 Mazda6 GT with Premium Package. You can't get this car in manual. Premium package=GT+Technology Package. Technology Package is only with an automatic. You can get the manual transmission with any trim level, including GT (at least here in Canada).

well yea exactly im not from NA im from the uk, and the best spec comes with manual.

I own a 2014 Mazda6 and test drove 320i. In eco and comfort mode 320i lacks power, in sport mode it just matches but does not exceed Mazda 6's driving dynamics. Overall Mazda6 is a better buy - beautiful looks, equal/better performance, regular gas unlike premium for 320i, 40% less expensive, long term maintenance far lower than BMWs.
