I think the Accord's design is huge improvement over the last few models. Looks more European, wish they did something similar with the Civic. It is actually a Honda I would consider buying.

This video should've been titled "Mazda 6 and his bitches".

I purchased a 2014 vw passat, and so far I love the look. The 1.8T is replacing the older 5 cylinder i think and they are really really really great. It improves MPG slightly, and well, I don't know, I love it, its a great refined car, I love the fact that its ass isn't sticking up in the air like most and pretty good

For my hard earn dollars, I would go with honda accord or camry. 30yrs of reliable track record besides all the bells and whistles.

a Couple days ago I was dying to compare cars for myself. First car I test drove was a 2012 Toyota Camry SE and then headed to the Honda dealer (I'm a Honda Civic Owner by the way) tested a 2013 Honda Accord 4 Cylinder CVT transmission. The Accord being $3000 miles more. Well The Camry had way better made interior (Thank you Lexus) I thought I was driving a Lexus...WOW. The panels, Dash, Doors, were very stylish and the materials were solid like a rock. The Car drove like a dream with it's 6 speed Automatic transmission so smooth and for the car only having a 2.5 4 Cyl engine, plenty of power. The car felt safe, tons of open space around you inside the cabin. After test drive I just sat in it and like WOW was so comfortable too! The Honda Accord I drove, cheaper materials inside the car, Very Choppy CVT transmission that was noticeable right away. Before even getting onto the road out of the dealership I knew the Camry so much better it's comical. I was shocked and I'm an 8th Generation Honda Civic owner and lover. In fact I like my 2011 Civic better than the 2013 Accord. True story. Previous generation but latest model way better than this new Honda. The Accord beating the 2012 + Camry LOL hahahaha good joke...That Camry is on a whole other level.

Yeah but the accord is typically more spacious

I ended up with a Camry too but sold it after a year, That fake leather dash and doors inserts were just to shiny and glossy and cheap looking and filled with hard plastics. Ended up in a Mazda6 and haven't regretted it. Love the Mazda. A lot of the dash and switch gear reminds me of my BMW 3 series. As for Mazda Reliability, we never had problems with ours, after 6 years we had to replace our transmission on one but only because my dad kept spilling full cups of coffee all over it for 6 years, and had to have the door locks replace after 8 years. That's it. No other problems. We've had four Mazdas and they gave us less problems than our Infinitis, BMWs, Hondas and Chevys. Mazdas are the only cars we've kept longer than 4 years. I liked the Malibu but I don't trust GM anymore. They knew their cars were defective but didn't issue a recall and that led to over 100 people dying. Then to avoid responsibility, they blame pre-bankrupt "Old GM" for covering it up. My moms new Cruze had three separate recalls, I like that car though, felt solid, roomy and nice but three recalls is a bit too much. I just don't trust GM's reliability and I don't trust the company.

Y10Q No. You are quite wrong. Subarus are good for short term reliability. After 100-150k miles, they fall apart(blown head gaskets are common). You are so ignorant and biased. We have many VW's gas and diesel all have been reliable. There is no way you can convince me that they are unreliable. I have had no issues, friends have had no issues, etc. Btw: Fords reliability is worse than VW ever since 2011-2012(not saying they were reliable before). 7 recalls for the 2013 Escape, more for the f150, fire hazards for the 1.6 and 2.0 ecoboost. They're cars are good, quality and reliability is not. We have a new 2.0t, 2.0tdi, 2.5 gas,1.9 Tdi and 2.8 VR6. No issues. The 1.9 Tdi has 300,000 miles and the 2014 2.0t has 10,000 already. I will never buy a Honda or Toyota. Interior quality isn't as good, exterior build quality is almost appalling, driving experience is boring, dated transmissions, dated engines, etc. At least with VW, you get new technologies from Europe.

Because most people who own Integras own it to race, floor the accelerator when they get a chance, mod the engine w/o knowing the long-term effects, etc. I know this because my siblings have owned a combined 4 Integra that they bought used and all 4 all crap cars. I think this also applies to people owning BMW 3-series - always hear them talking about racing on the weekends, etc.

Top speed was 80mph, the fuel pump worked 50% of the time.I remember back in 2010 they parked on one side of the road, tried to start it, and there was no fuel pump hum therefore, no start. They pushed it a lot! It also had an average of 21mpg with 90% highway. It was the worst car ever made, at least that particular one was. Last year. they crushed it with their tractor.

I have VW Passat 2013 2.5 l and I love it.

in VW's defense, there is a 1.8T engine in 2014 which is much more efficient than the 5 cylinder. Also, without the Malibu, Fusion, this is more of a foreign mid-sized sedan review.

WHAT ARE THE CRITERIA FOR THIS COMPARISON TEST? I think it was random selection.

In 2014 I went down to the Honda dealer to buy an accord. I hated the cvt transmission. I bought a Mazda 6 for $25k instead and it now has 108,000 miles on it. Hasn't needed a single repair. Even the brake rotors are original. Averaging 31 mpg. Best car I've ever owned

I owned a '99 honda accord (transmission, egr, brakes, cat, O2, wheel barrings, suspension). Wife had a '01 honda civic (engine leaking oil, alternator, suspension, bushings). Both made it over 200k. I would consider the reliability to be just average. With that being said, I opted for the 2014 mazda 6 to replace mine. The handling is so much better than any other car I have ever driven, almost addicting to drive around turns. My only complaint is that there is some wind noise from the side mirror at highway speeds and poor rear visibility. Wife got the 2014 Subaru Outback. CVT took some getting used to. Feels much larger and substantial to drive than you would expect looking at it from the exterior. Comfortable spacious interior, excellent visibility. Cant wait to test the AWD in snow. Only complaint is the base climate control and ride quality is just average. Lets be honest, every car has its flaws its a matter of deciding which ones you are willing to put up with.

I like the Mazda 6, design is really amazing. The Accord obviously is also great!

Someone said cars are over-priced today. In 1998 I bought a 1998 Camry LE for $23,378. Today I can buy an SE with 17" alloys, Navigation, ABS, VSC, Traction Control, spoiler, body kit, leather trim, paddle shifter, 6 spd shiftmatic, transmission versus 4 spd, USB input, CD player, Streaming audio, handsfree phone, 10 air bags versus two, and it's $22,000. You all must be buying the wrong cars. A loaf of bread was 79 cents in 1998, today it's $2.49.

I have a '07 Mazda 3 and it still runs amazingly well. I'm going to get a 2014 Mazda 3 S Grand Touring some time next year.

I have an '04 Mazda 6 4cyl w/ 167,000 miles and it runs like a top. Wicked fun as well. The Accord has always been a great car as well. Surprised the Optima did so poorly though.

This review is very misleading. The Accord is not an EX-L with Navigation. It is a 4 cylinder Touring available in Canada.

Great Review. And some great comments below. Please also do a similar comparison in the large sedan segment.

I didnt care what brand I purchased. However at a dealership that sold both VW and Mazda I ended up with a 2014 Mazda. The acura ILX was the biggest joke for the price and options. I recommend test driving as many vehicles as possible befor desiding on what you like. For me it was hands down the new Mazda grand touring no other premium car had the amount of Tec for the price. Funny, 2 years ago I would not have even gave mazda a chance. It seems to be a different company now. I buy new cars at about every 2.5 to 3 years.

As a 2016 Accord(Wife) and 2017 Mazda 6(Mine) owner, I must say that overall, the mazda is far superior. Everything from looks to aerodynamics is flawless. The smoothness of the ride is second to none. I was not surprised to see it on top of this list. My previous vehicle was a 2004 mazda 6 that gave me 13 great years and 229,000 miles before finally giving me a costly problem. For small families looking for flawless looks, reliability, a smooth ride, and a bang for your buck, go with the Mazda 6.

for me 1,honda accord 2. Mazda 6 3.Toyota camry 4. Nissan Ultima 5. Volkswagen pas sat.

As stated, if you live in a place where you have a lot of snow and hills or mountains (e.g. New England, Rocky Mountain regions), you have only one option for good traction - Subaru Legacy. That made the decision for us after living with a traditional front drive Honda Accord for ten years that struggles in all kinds of snow. It may rank higher, but it is a pain in the snow.

You're right. I'm in Texas. The Camry/Accord are very popular here, but the Sonata is catching up fast. It IS a head turner with that cool body style and now solid Honda-like reliability.

The Mazda6 has arguable one of the nicest interiors with the Passat rivaling it and the Accord in a distant third. The accord is smooth and refined and the Jetta is poised and ready but the mazda6 is agile and sexy and just begs to be driven.

Loving my 15 altima so far!! Gets the job done for me.

Great video Autoguide. Similar comparisons for other segments should follow!

I have a 2012 Kia Optima EX. Drove it new off the lot in ‘12, put about 140,000 miles on it, and she’s still here today. I don’t know what you mean by “horrible steering” because mine is silky smooth. I love my Optima, have had no engine or transmission issues.

im1greatman He's actually got a pretty good point. From a price inflation stand point and comparing a car from the 80's or even the 90's. With all the tech and features that come with the cars the price is good. If you don't like these prices on new cars you can get close to the true cost (with inflation involved) similar to those in the 80's and 90's with models closer to the base model (22-25K). Just much better fuel economy. Much safer.I just checked that a base Accord cost 15,000 USD in 1995. That's a little more than 23,000 USD. The price LITERALLY dropped by a little more than a 1,000 for the base model. So no, technically cars have not gotten more expensive. At least from Honda

The Mazda 6 is my favorite out of all of them since it has its own unique look to it, it's sporty, elegant. and has everything inside and outside that I expect in a nice sophisticated Japanese sedan. But I don't get why people only think Kia/Hyundai copy others when Nissan's new Maxima has the Optima look on the side door designs while the Infiniti Q50 has the Accord look on its side door designs. Lincoln MKZs look like Caddy XTSs, the Subaru WRX sports models look like those earliest 90s Galants, sides of older Chrysler 200s looked like Cruzes while Honda makes sides of their Accord and Civic coupes look like coupes from BMW and Mercedes. The newer Passats, Avalons, Fusions, Malibus, Altimas, and the newer Chrysler 200s all have similar side door designs, jacking each others looks.

I drive it in sports mode to make it less boring otherwise ya need a stick. Got tired of slow traffic so got my first auto in a long time.

MAZDA 6 ALL THE WAY!

Funny that the Passat apparently does not sell very well in NA, wheras in Europe is it one of the best sellers. Also remarkable is that Accord is one of the top sellers in NA and in Europe Honda decided recently not to offer it at all anymore. Hat off to small but innovative company like Mazda for producing such a winner!! You guys in USA and Canada will be happy with the diesel as well (if it eventually ever gets there!)...it's awesome!

Can't beat the 2014 accord v6!

I hope they remake this video for the current year, if it isn't too early :)

How is the Passat a surprise? The current generation Passat in NA was designed specifically for that market. Not only that, but VW is known for making cars that feel upscale but don't cost as much. And as far as style, the Passat is the only one worth looking at. They're all trying too hard to achieve some look (the Hyundai wants to look elegant, the Mazda wants to look sporty and exciting, the Kia and Nissan want to look upscale), but the Passat, like all VWs, has nice lines and a clean, distinctive look. Of course aesthetics are subjective, but in that case they shouldn't have taken them into account in the video anyway. It may have scored low in fuel economy, but get a TDI and you're literally getting record-breaking fuel economy (I'm not kidding, look it up--2013 Guinness World Record for lowest fuel consumption across 48 states for a non-hybrid car). The Passat also won 2012 Motor Trend Car of the Year. So it sounds to me like the only thing the Mazda had on it was adaptive cruise control. I'm more surprised that the Passat _didn't_ come out on top.

I agree, Passat should be #1 and Honda Accord #2. And what the heck is '"adaptive cruise control"? I rarely use my ordinary cruise control.

I owned a Passat from 2007-2013, Great Car! Clean, stylish, lines on the body. Smooth, quiet ride; other than routine maintenance, I had one repair to the line connected to the Turbo for $300. I know Turbos weren't in this competition, but just saying it was a reliable vehicle. My neighbor works on cars all the time, he does concur with the opinions expressed that he hates to work on German vehicles. I haven't driven the Mazda, but Accord and Passat near the top are deserved.

Most people who stick to Toyota or Honda don't know or care about cars and how they drive. They play safe, based on the old thinking, and buy the brands for one reason, reliability and it's true in most cases. What they don't know is that Toyotas and Hondas are no longer on top and keep paying more (demand) for something they don't get and overlook other brands' better features. This is good because car like Mazda 6 can be bought for cheap (less demand).

Mazda6 looks very nice, and I'm sure it drives well. However over time, it won't hold up to the Accord's reliability and quality, and won't retain nearly as much resale value. For those who keep their cars for only a few years at a time, buy the Mazda. For those who want to keep their cars for a very long time without having to deal with major issues, buy the Accord.

I would rather get a unique and rareish car that almost nobody has and looks somewhat different than the other cars. where as the accord looks similar to a BMW, and its made by Honda as in the Honda everyone hates and will never love, unless its a NSX or S2000. AND Mazda is known for their fun and fast cars like the 1st gen Mazda 6, RX-7,RX-8, Mazda 3 MX-5. So the 6 will actually be better to drive. but for resale value, why would u want to resale ur Mazda 6, unless u want a RX-8 or other sports car =D even then if a person had common sense he or she would buy the accord or camry ,cause its cheap, keep it for a while and then sale it

I have to disagree with you. I just upgraded my 2004 Mazda3 for a 2014 Mazda6. My Mazda3 had 220K miles and I have not had any issues with it in the 10 years I had it. When I had a civic, the alternator, CO2 sensors and transmission went out. While Honda has a great track record, I went with Mazda again for a reason.

It's funny how the most popular car segment in America has two kinda strong competitors, and they both couldn't show up. What a way to represent America.

The Honda Accord is the best

juan tafoya Absolutely agree. I have a 2014 Accord sport and the 6 was better when I test drove it. I got the Accord because I was able to get a good deal and it was reliable. With the sport's paddle shifting you can also sort of force the car to go into higher RPM which makes it more fun to drive. Also, Evan, whoever told you the Malibu is a good car is seriously misinformed.

Evan Ganske yes bro the Malibu is a great car, we didn't say its bad but with all the competition out there with the likes of Accord, Mazda6, Sonata, Altima and Passat, it just can't compare.

accord all the way😀😀😀😀😀😀😍😍😍😍😘😘😘

This was a brief but fair comparison of this segment, though no revelations were made. All said, I'm still not dissuaded from getting a 15 Accord Sport to replace my 12 Accord EX (itself are replacement for my old 07 Accord EX-L) this Fall.

yeah, my dad used to have a simple five cylinder jetta, and he's worked on cars for a long time and that jetta gave him more grief than he's ever had with the Japanese cars he's owned. I've had an accord, camry, and now currently an integra and they're all way easier to work on than that jetta.

Honda all the way

I been a Nissan guy I own a v6 Altima but if I had to choose here id choose the accord Nissan and even more so now last long but the price to maintain is ridiculous they have looks and all but its all about reliability safety and comfort plus the Nissan motors are very unrefined and noisy when I warm upmy Altima in the morning its so loud.......HONDA HANDS DOWN

The honda accord that was used in this video was a V6 model. 4 cylinder does not have the LED day time running light.

my 2016 Mazda 6 is pretty sweet!, Check out the adaptive LED headlights and the Smart City Brake support.

I wish the Passat TDi version was allowed!

Accord is hands down the best. It's Honda, you can't beat a car that's still going to be running 30 years down the road after being through hell and back. Reliability and style is Honda, that's why I love them.
